About this property

An architecturally impressive home of rare quality with private landscaped gardens, set within idyllic countryside.

One of the area’s most coveted addresses, New Ditton enjoys a secluded and peaceful setting surrounded by rolling countryside, with the renowned National Trust landscapes of Pinkneys Green and Maidenhead Thicket close at hand and all amenities just moments away. Occupying beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens extending to approximately 1.0 acres, this truly exceptional and highly individual residence offers a rare sense of privacy and seclusion.

Originally built in the 1950s, by Sir Nicholas Winton, the house has been masterfully rebuilt from scratch, and reimagined into a distinguished state-of-the-art residence, combining architectural elegance with refined modern living. Extensive Crittall glazing throughout the house draws the outside in, framing gorgeous views across the meticulously curated gardens and creating a seamless connection between the home and its natural surroundings. Premium finishes and carefully considered detailing infuse the interiors with a fresh, sophisticated aesthetic, while its position within a historic walled garden lends an enduring sense of character and authenticity.

No expense has been spared in the creation of this remarkable home – a truly one-of-a-kind private oasis that offers tranquillity far removed from the madding crowd, yet remains exceptionally well connected, with cultural attractions, excellent transport links, the delights of Marlow and the City of London all within easy reach.

Since 2018, the property has undergone an exceptional programme of building, renovation and extension, creating a beautiful contemporary home. Thoughtfully designed, the house combines striking detail with luxurious modern finishes, including extensive Crittall glazing, underfloor heating, B&W and Sonos sound systems, full LAN data network and stylish contemporary bath and shower rooms all with underfloor heating.

The entrance hall makes a wonderful first impression, with its glazed elevation and striking Scandinavian-style staircase. Three elegant reception rooms include a study, sitting room and drawing room, which flows seamlessly through Crittall glazed doors into the spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining area. The perfect space for entertaining and relaxed family life, this stunning split-level room enjoys a vaulted ceiling with exposed painted beams and a dramatic double-height glazed elevation overlooking the gardens, flooding the space with natural light. A contemporary log burning fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere, while the dining area provides a superb setting for everything from informal family meals to large gatherings with friends. The bespoke kitchen is arranged around a substantial island, ideal for morning coffees, and fitted with high-specification appliances including a Smeg range cooker and Neff dishwasher and ovens. A range of ancillary spaces supports the principal accommodation, including a cloakroom, a walk-in pantry/larder, laundry room and boot room.

A beautifully appointed ground-floor en suite bedroom provides flexibility for guests, au pair or multigenerational living, while the first floor is centred around a luxurious principal suite with dual dressing areas and a sumptuous en suite bathroom, creating a calm and relaxing retreat. Three further bedrooms enjoy stylish en suite facilities; all finished to an exceptional standard.

Outside
New Ditton’s exceptional grounds evoke the atmosphere of a private country retreat. Enclosed by historic walls and approached via an impressive gravel driveway, with capacity for seven vehicles, the setting conveys a sense of arrival and timeless character. Formal planting and courtyard areas complement the home’s stylish vertical timber cladding, adding charm and architectural cohesion. Complementing the main house and positioned to the front, there is a versatile studio annexe with en suite shower facilities. Adjacent to this is a Peloton gym room, which has planning consent to join with the studio forming a larger combined unit. The timber clad garage offers secure storage for a prized vehicle or collection of sporting equipment. There is further storage in the loft space above the garage. The grounds also provide a shed for garden storage, including cushions and a parasol. The property owns the extensive driveway down to the National Trust grounds of Pinkneys Green.

The amazing rear gardens have been thoughtfully designed and expertly landscaped to create a series of beautifully balanced outdoor spaces. An expansive terrace provides the perfect setting for relaxing entertaining, framed by two mature olive trees and opening onto immaculately maintained lawns bordered by low hedging and elegant beds that deliver year-round colour and interest. Meandering pathways lead through the gardens to further lawns enriched by shrubs and specimen trees that cast dappled shade. The characterful walls add structure and charm. Beyond, mature trees provide an exceptional sense of privacy and seclusion, enclosing generous lawns, ideal for family life, recreation, or peaceful retreat.
