Set back on a leafy avenue just a short stroll from the town centre, 42 College Avenue is a substantial Victorian home with a thoroughly modern soul. Built circa 1895 and beautifully evolved over time, this detached property offers generous space, refined craftsmanship and a quietly confident elegance - a home that feels both impressive and deeply comfortable from the moment you arrive.
The house opens gracefully, with the original Victorian tiled floor in the entrance hall setting the tone, seamlessly extended through the later addition. Light filters through made-to-measure wooden double-glazed sash windows, replaced throughout the home in 2022/23, while soft period detailing and warm wooden floors create an inviting atmosphere.
The sitting room, refurbished in 2023, is a particular highlight. Here, solid wood parquet flooring laid in individual blocks, new high skirting boards (moulded to match the originals), ceiling roses and restored coving frame a beautiful wood-burning stove, serviced annually, with Victorian-style radiators completing the room’s classic yet contemporary feel.
Flowing through to the dining room and into the heart of the home, the kitchen sits beneath a striking vaulted ceiling, part of the rear extension completed in 2002 (with planning completion certificates available). Designed and fitted by John Lewis of Hungerford in their Artisan Shaker style, finished in Fired Earth “Dutch White”, the kitchen is both elegant and practical, with granite worktops, a central island and wide views over the garden.
At the rear, beautifully crafted Jack Brunston & Son bi-fold doors, installed in 2021 and fully guaranteed, draw the outside in and open onto the sun-washed terrace beyond.
The ground floor offers exceptional flexibility. A guest bedroom/family room provides a quiet retreat for work or visitors, while a further study and garden room give a growing family ample opportunity to create separate zones for work, play and relaxation. A dedicated playroom and a practical utility room complete the level, each space carefully considered for everyday living.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms continue the sense of light and proportion. The principal suite is a true sanctuary, with a vaulted ceiling, three remote-controlled electric Velux windows, and a superb en-suite shower room. Both bathrooms benefit from remote-activated showers in addition to standard controls. Three further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the first floor.
Modern comforts have been carefully integrated throughout: A Megaflow hot water system ensures excellent water pressure across the house, complemented by a Harveys water softener installed in 2022. The original house roof was replaced in 2017, with the extension roof completed when the side extension was built in 2007 (with certification available). Outside, an EV charging point is discreetly positioned within the porch recess.
Beyond the house, the garden offers both privacy and scale. A stunning wrap-around terrace extends directly from the kitchen - ideal for summer evenings and weekend gatherings - while a broad lawn stretches away to mature borders. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, completing the picture of a home that delivers beauty, practicality and effortless comfort.
Location remains one of College Avenue’s greatest assets. Maidenhead Station is within easy walking distance, offering fast, direct access to London via the Elizabeth Line - a genuine advantage for modern commuters. Highly regarded primary and secondary schools are also close at hand, making this a compelling choice for families seeking both convenience and long-term quality of life
