About this property

Tucked away on the prestigious Brockenhurst Road between Ascot and Sunningdale, this distinctive, period residence is likely to be part of a former Victorian estate.

Its location, just moments from the world-famous Ascot Racecourse, reflects the long tradition of aristocratic country retreats in this part of Berkshire where racing, polo and society gatherings have been central to life for more than a century. Today the house blends historic character with comfortable modern living, offering approximately 1,833 sq ft (170 sq m) of beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over a practical single level. A welcoming entrance approached by steps, lead into the house, retaining a sense of light, space and period elegance. The principal reception room is an impressive 23-foot sitting room featuring a beautiful fireplace with stone surround, with a wide bay window flooding the room with natural light. At the centre of the home lies a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space, forming the social heart of the house. The modern kitchen/breakfast room features a large central island with extensive preparation and storage space. The conservatory has a direct connection and creates a natural flow between cooking, dining and garden living. There are two generous bedrooms with the main bedroom having a particularly generous suite including a dressing room.
