Designed with family life in mind, the property has evolved over the years, including a thoughtfully designed loft conversion which provides an additional floor of accommodation, perfect for growing families, teenagers or those working from home. One of the bedrooms has previously served as a dedicated playroom and home office, highlighting the flexibility of the layout.
At the heart of the home sits a beautifully handcrafted kitchen by the renowned Plain English Kitchens, complete with stunning sycamore worktops, while outside the impressive Finnish barbecue hut provides a unique space for entertaining throughout the year.
The setting is equally impressive. Residents enjoy a genuine community atmosphere within the quiet court, together with ample parking, providing plenty of space for multiple vehicles according to the current owners. The property's fascinating history adds further character, with the homes originally built for Queen Elizabeth II to house the Royal Stable staff during Ascot.
