Property description
7 Brackendale Close is a 5 bedroom linked-detached house in the exclusive Bellway Homes development, built around 2009. It is set off Blays Lane, which has an almost country lane feel to it, and is approached from Wick Road which has several access points into Windsor Great Park – a love for locals and non-locals alike, with its superb walking and cycling and where attractions include Valley Gardens, the Punch Bowl, Savill Gardens, the obelisk, totem pole and Smith’s Lawn, not forgetting the lake itself.
Having ease of maintenance in mind, the current owners purchased the property as a new build. They were attracted by its spacious rooms and by its layout over three floors, which included two rooms at the top that would provide privacy for a teenager. The house would suit a young family, a couple working from home, or even those downsizing yet still perhaps have plenty of friends and grand-children to stay over from time to time. They surely will appreciate the well-proportioned rooms, easy to maintain secluded garden that backs onto the St Judes Churchyard and the close proximity to excellent schooling and the village shops. Egham’s more comprehensive shopping and train station (London Waterloo approx. 40 minutes’) are about 1.25miles away
There is gas central heating throughout with wireless ‘Hive’ control; in-obtrusive solar panels provide plenty of cheap hot water which, along with the double glazing, helps contribute towards the property’s excellent B rating for energy performance.
The owners purchased the house at a stage when it was possible to upgrade many aspects of its finish. In the kitchen, this included fitting additional cupboards, granite work surfaces, a wine cooler, a double oven and a fitted microwave in place of a single oven, a larger hob and hood, and a washer-dryer rather than a washing machine. The bathrooms were fully tiled instead of part-tiled and utilised porcelain rather than ceramic tiles, while chrome heated towel rails were installed in place of white ones. All light switches were fitted in chrome rather than plastic. A burglar alarm was installed and the garage door fitted with an electric mechanism.
The lovely kitchen/breakfast room has had many upgrades, including granite work tops & splash-backs and fitted/integral appliances, including the all-important wine cooler.
Brackendale offers the best of both worlds. A tranquil, private, almost semi-rural setting, but still having a community feel.
The house is situated close to the heart of the highly desirable village of Englefield Green that is located in a prominent position on the edge of Windsor Great Park. Englefield Green has become one of the most sought after locations outside of London and is synonymous with luxury housing. Although in close proximity to the capital Englefield Green maintains a rural feel with many surrounding parks and open spaces.
The village benefits from excellent transport links to London and the south east with easy access to the M25, M4 and M3. London Heathrow Airport (10 mins) and London Gatwick (30mins) are also within easy reach. Egham train station provides regular service to London Waterloo (approx. 40 mins).
Schools around the area include Eton College, Wellington College, TASIS, The ACS International School, Bishopsgate School, The Marist and St Georges, as well as numerous other quality establishments. The area really is blessed with choice in this department.
The local area benefits from many international sporting venues including Guards Polo Club, Ascot Racecourse and Wentworth Golf Club.
The property has TV & telephone points in most rooms and mains-wired smoke detectors.
Externally, to the front, is a drive for 1 car and a good size garage with electric door and access into the rear garden, which has been beautifully landscaped, with paved patio, lawn, shrubbery beds and a lovely wall at the bottom with additional patio.
