House For Sale £1,475,000
Set within the picturesque riverside village of Datchet and believed to date back to the early 1600s, a striking Grade II listed property forming part of an impressive terrace overlooking the village green. Internally, the house doesn’t disappoint. This appealing and fascinating property successfully blends period features with the luxuries of modern-day-living and is equally suited to both family living and entertaining. The ground floor is entered via a reception vestibule opening directly into an open-plan sitting/dining room that, with its exposed ceiling beams, twin bay windows and a stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove, sets the scene and the immense character of the house soon becomes apparent.
The spacious contemporary kitchen, stylishly fitted with a comprehensive range of sleek units, a central island with an integral breakfast bar, and integral appliances, provides ample space for a breakfast table and enjoys direct access to the rear terrace via two sets of bi-folding doors. The adjoining orangery provides wonderfully light and airy space for relaxation, thanks to the sizeable roof lantern and its dual aspect; a wall of bi-folding doors open the room out to the rear terrace and takes full advantage of the southerly aspect. The ground floor further comprises a cosy snug featuring a fireplace, a study with its own outside access, and a cloakroom.
The first floor accommodation is equally as inviting and includes an elegant principal bedroom with a feature fireplace and a modern en suite bathroom with under-floor heating and featuring a standalone bath, a separate shower, and ‘his and her’ wash basins. There are two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a utility room on this floor whilst the upper level is host to two additional bedrooms and a shower room.<br /><br />The picturesque village of Datchet offers a range of independent shops catering for day-to-day needs and for the commuter, the rail station provides regular services to London. For more extensive amenities, Windsor and Slough are nearby. Datchet is supremely located for the M4 (J5) which is just 2 miles away, and Heathrow Airport which is also within easy reach.
