Ground Floor:
The ground floor impresses with its open-plan layout, featuring a graceful flow from the grand reception hall (complete with boot and coat room, and a separate WC) to the cantilevered drawing room, which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors leading to the terrace.
The lounge area and kitchen are adorned with Boen engineered limed oak flooring, while a striking suspended polished concrete stairway with ironwork and feature LED lighting.
The superb SCHMIDT fitted kitchen with limed oak floors comes equipped with Miele appliances and opens up to the raised ground floor terrace.
The main open area also includes a dining area and seating space, complete with a bio ethanol fireplace, which is shared with the reception hall.
Lower Ground Floor:
Descending the stunning suspended polished concrete staircase with glass balustrade to the lower ground floor reveals five beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each featuring en suite bath/shower rooms and glass doors leading to the outdoor terrace.
The luxurious principal bedroom suite boasts a generously sized fully fitted dressing room and a stylish en-suite bathroom that includes a steam room.
Furthermore, the lower ground floor offers additional amenities, such as a cinema room, gym, laundry room, IT room, and plant room. Glass partitions and a window wall add to the allure of the gym.
Sustainability:
The house incorporates 52 PV solar panels linked to three Tesla storage batteries. Throughout the property, underfloor heating is provided, primarily powered by an Air Source heat pump and complemented by whole house ventilation. Hot water is efficiently heated using eight solar thermal panels installed on the roof, with any excess heat stored in a thermal reserve for future use. Additionally, the house boasts exceptional thermal insulation, contributing to its eco-friendliness. Skyfall is able to operate almost entirely carbon-free. Sedum green roofs have been installed, playing a role in air purification by filtering particulate matter and converting CO2 into oxygen.
Outside:
The grounds of Skyfall are phenomenal. There is a long and private gated driveway lined by over 20 trees with two sets of double gates. The boundaries are lined with mature trees and screened with fencing and hedging designed to allow you privacy while still enjoying views of the countryside and golf course.
There is a beautiful flower bed, an elevated decked area for dining, a variety of stunning terraces perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. A pergola area to cover the table tennis area. A stunning water feature, and an AstroTurf sports pitch has just been added. The 1.5 acre plot also benefits from a triple car garage.
Location:
Skyfall is situated on the edge of Taplow village, and within a short distance of the beautiful Thameside towns of Maidenhead and Windsor. The property is ideally located for central London, Heathrow and Gatwick airports as well as rail and road networks - The M4 and M40 are a short drive away.
Residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to fine dining. Skyfall is five minutes from Cliveden, The Relais and Chateau Hotel and National Trust Grounds where membership is available giving access to its spa, dining and other facilities. The vicinity also offers an impressive selection of restaurants and pubs, including two prestigious three Michelin-starred establishments: the renowned Waterside Inn by the Roux brothers and Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck, both located in nearby Bray.
