House For Sale £1,200,000
A rare opportunity to purchase two houses, next door to each other in Windsor, Berkshire.
160- During their 17 year ownership, this Victorian period property was a home for the current owners for the first 10 years, but more recently has been rented to tenants.
This Victorian period property is entered via a new front door at the side of the house, the ground floor contains a living room, open plan kitchen and dining area, utility room and a downstairs guest toilet with shower. The original front living room has a chimney breast that did and could again house a log burning fire. All windows are double glazed and this together with the plantation shutters afford privacy and sound proofing. Even more so when the plantation style shutters are closed. At the rear of the house, a double storey extension carried out around 10 years ago has allowed for an open plan kitchen and dining area with sliding doors onto the garden. The open kitchen plan kitchen diner is light and airy with a Velux window feature and sliding doors leading directly onto the enclosed back patio and garden. A separate utility area is accessed via sliding doors with a toilet, hand basin and shower to one side with a sliding door meaning the washing machine is out of the kitchen and laundry is out of sight.
Upstairs on the 1st floor, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rear bedroom overlooks the garden with a corner en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobes; freestanding chest of drawers, dressing table and access to a small loft space suitable for storing suitcases. The front double bedroom has fitted wardrobes, tall chest of drawers, space for a large king size bed and a desk or dressing table, space for a desk or dressing table and plantation shutters. A second staircase leads up to a third double bedroom with very good head height, shelves and a double fitted wardrobe.
This bedroom is served by a its own toilet and handbasin and offers handy eaves storage. Again plantation shutters on the wide dormer window compliment the room which also contains shelving and hanging units and is served by a separate top floor toilet and basin along with easily accessible eaves storage.
All windows and doors are double glazed and have plantation shutters. The Front Door has been recently replaced enabling improved heat retention. There is electric heating and hot water via efficient electric radiators and a hot water tank. The mains gas head is still insitu allowing a new owner to reinstate gas supply although we are advised that energy bills are now cheaper as a result of the property being purely electric running off energy efficient radiators and hot water system.
The rear garden is a decent size for this part of Windsor, with a tall brick wall at the bottom, a patio area and a slightly raised, easy to maintain, synthetic grassed level. Importantly it has side access via a pedestrian gate. To the front, one of the most obvious advantageous features of this house is off-street parking for two vehicles.
164- Believed to have been built in the late 1930s, the current owners have recently improved the house by installing new double-glazed windows and doors, upgrading the bathrooms, laying new flooring and refurbishing the staircase. The downstairs of the house contains a living room, galley kitchen and third bedroom. The living room is rear facing with doors opening onto a patio terrace in the garden. The galley kitchen has modern units and worktop along with a electric induction cooker. There is a single door which provides access to the rear garden. A clever utility space with a window has been created under the stairs meaning the washing machine is out of the kitchen for ease. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is at the rear overlooking the garden with fitted, sliding wardrobes and has the benefit of a shower room En-Suite. The second double is front facing and a similar size with a wide window looking across to Victorian period terrace houses opposite and beyond this, a partial view of the trees in Windsor Great Park. The bright family bathroom contains a bath tub with an overhead shower. Finally there is an airing cupboard on the landing at the top of the stairs and access to a loft. Set back and along the side of the house is what originally would have been an attached garage which has since been converted into additional living space. Currently it’s employed as a utility area and office but has the flexibility for other uses given it’s insulated with under floor heating from an independent electric boiler. It has its own external door, accessed via a side gate from the front of the house and double doors along the side that open out onto the garden. With building control consent and professional advice there is potential to break through into the current kitchen, connecting the two and therefore create a larger, more open plan kitchen and dining area.
Location
Number 160 is situated opposite other Victorian period, terraced houses, on St. Leonard’s Road, a little before Trevelyan School and importantly close enough to still walk to Windsor town centre, where the majority of shops, restaurants and both stations are situated.
In terms of leisure activities, there is The Long Walk and Windsor Great Park beyond as well as walks along the River Thames. Windsor leisure centre has an indoor pool; Windsor Lawn Tennis Club has three indoor courts; and the local Rugby club is extremely popular at all age groups. Other notable nearby attractions include Windsor Marina, Windsor Racecourse, Legoland and slightly further afield, Guards Polo Club, The Savill Garden, Ascot Racecourse and Wentworth Golf Club.
Windsor itself has an above average number of primary, middle and secondary schools, both state and independent, including Windsor Boys and Girls Schools, Trevelyan Middle School, Eton College, Upton House and St. George’s Windsor. This is significantly bolstered by numerous other schools in nearby neighbouring locations.
Windsor is also unique in that it’s served by two different train operators, firstly from Windsor and Eton Central linking to Crossrail and secondly Windsor and Eton Riverside into London Waterloo. The Windsor relief road provides direct access onto the M4 leading to nearby Heathrow and then London. The M25 and M40 can also be reached relatively quickly via the M4 as well.<br /><br />
