House For Sale £1,100,000
Cornerside offers one of those almost unique opportunities to purchase a property on a large plot of land where one can refurbish/extend/re-build to create a wonderful family home with a garden to match! Ideal for a family, perhaps with dogs or horses, this property offers well-proportioned accommodation with some rooms having a double aspect from which to enjoy the views of the grounds which reach around 1.4 acres.
This character property has been lived in by the same family for 57 years and whilst more than liveable it could still benefit from improvement but presents an amazing opportunity of a blank canvas to those with the vision of making their ‘forever home’, without paying in excess of £2M one would normally expect to pay for a family house on such a large plot of land.
It is set in a commanding position on its gently sloping plot with gardens to both the front, side and rear, most of which are laid to lawn with various shrubs and trees and a lightly wooded area and some fruit trees remain from what was once an orchard. There are numerous outbuildings as can be seen from the floor plan, though most are requiring some attention.
Cornerside is situated about half a mile of the highly desirable village of Virginia Water - home to the world renowned Wentworth Estate which was developed in the 1920’s with its mix of mainly large family homes and mansions intertwined with its now 3 superb golf courses, including the famous West Course. Virginia Water Lake and Windsor Great Park are all easily accessible and the main-line train station just over half a mile. Virginia Water has become one of the most sought after locations in the country and is synonymous with luxury housing. Although in close proximity to the capital, it still retains a more rural feel with many surrounding parks and open spaces. It also benefits from excellent transport links to London and the south east with easy access to the M25, M4 and M3. London Heathrow Airport (15 mins) and London Gatwick (35mins) are also within easy reach.
Schools around the area include Eton College, Bishopsgate School, Papplewick, St Georges, St James & Hampton Boys and the two International Schools Tasis and the American Community School 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 the Wentworth Club which also has excellent Spa and tennis facilities, as well as the golf already mentioned.
