Designed and built in 2002 by the owners, Birch House is a substantial family home, set within landscaped gardens, in a highly regarded South Ascot location.

The versatile accommodation is equally suited to both family living and formal entertaining, with the principal rooms enjoying direct access to the garden. There is under-floor heating throughout the ground and first floors.
The galleried reception hall creates a striking impression upon entering the house and opens out to the triple aspect drawing room featuring full-height arched windows to the front, and a working fireplace. Also located off the hall is a good size dining room, a study with fitted furniture, an arched window and a fireplace, a cloakroom and the kitchen.

St. Mary's Road is a highly desirable private road close to South Ascot and Sunninghill village.

The picturesque local countryside and Swinley Forest boast excellent walks with horse riding at Chobham Common and Windsor Great Park.
Attractions for all the family include Windsor Castle, Legoland, Thorpe Park, Virginia Water Lake and Savill Garden.
The area is also fortunate to have some excellent schools including Wellington College, Lambrook, Eton College, Sunningdale School, Papplewick, Heathfield School, St. George’s and St. Mary’s Ascot.
