House For Sale £875,000
Fernbank Road, Ascot, Berkshire

With its enhanced interior styling and layout, the property offers an open ambience and versatility, with light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors. The spacious hallway gives access into a front aspect family room, with features including a bay window recess and an attractive fireplace with decorative tiling. Beyond, a double-zoned sitting room provides a relaxed setting where seating can be arranged around a fireplace, as well as glazed sliding doors which ensure the room is filled with natural light and offer a link to the outside environment. Fitted with modern units with stone work tops and upstands, the generous kitchen/dining room has French doors which open to the garden terrace. Ancillary space is provided by the former integral garage which is now host to a generous utility and boot room, with useful additional storage.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an entire wall of fitted wardrobe cupboards and features a bay window. There are four further bedrooms, with the option to utilise one or more as a home office, or study area, as well as a family bathroom and separate shower room with modern fittings.

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway which provides parking for two cars, with an attractively planted bed to the side featuring grasses, spring bulbs and shrubs. Tiled steps lead up to the arched porch at the entrance to the home and a timber side gate provides a route to the rear garden. Enjoying a south-east facing aspect, this delightful outdoor sanctuary has an area laid to lawn framed by curved flower beds with a pleasing selection of perennial plants, shrubs and specimen trees. At the far margin, a timber archway and screening creates a subtle divide to an additional area of secluded garden, and within the grounds a pond with pretty aquatic planting provides a magnet to insects and birds. There are tranquil pockets to set up a garden bench and relax, whilst outdoor dining can be enjoyed on the paved terrace adjoining the back of the house.

The property is situated on the northern fringes of Ascot, which is notable for the Ascot Racecourse, home of the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting. While the racecourse is the focus of the town, Ascot has a selection of thriving independent shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as a train station providing commuters with services into London. The nearby town of Windsor offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities and road connections are excellent with easy access to both the M3 and the M25.

Leisure and sporting facilities in the area are varied and include golf at Sunningdale and Wentworth, horse racing at Windsor in addition to Ascot, and horse riding on Chobham Common and in Windsor Great Park.

Excellent spa facilities are available at Pennyhill Park, Coworth Park, Wentworth and Foxhills and the area is fortunate to have excellent schools, both in the independent and state sectors, including Ascot Primary School, Ascot Day Nursery, Ascot Heath, Cranbourne, and the outstanding-rated Charters School (there is a bus stop directly over the road from the property).
