*NO ONWARD CHAIN*

Having been lovingly owned by the same family for the past 25 years, this substantial four-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers an exceptional combination of generous living space, quality craftsmanship and an enviable lifestyle in one of Ascot's most sought-after locations.

"We've loved every minute of living here. The neighbours are wonderful, there's a real sense of community, and if we weren't downsizing, we'd never be leaving." – Current Owners

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.

Nature lovers will appreciate the gated access to Swinley Forest and Englemere Pond, offering miles of walking, running and cycling routes practically from the doorstep.

Everyday conveniences are all within easy reach, including the beautifully refurbished Royal Foresters pub, local takeaways and the popular monthly Farmers' Market at Ascot Racecourse. Windsor, Bracknell's Lexicon shopping centre and Reading are all easily accessible, offering an excellent range of retail, dining and leisure facilities.

Families are particularly well catered for, with the property falling within catchment for a number of highly regarded schools including South Ascot, Ranelagh and Charters, while Reading Boys' School is also easily accessible.

Estate/Service charge £80pcm includes window cleaning, gardening and other communal maintenance
