5 bed detached house for sale

Winkfield Street, Winkfield, Windsor, Berkshire SL4

Old Timbers is a handsome double-fronted period family home featuring timbered detailing and offering flexible accommodation arranged across two floors. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it thoughtfully blends character features such as leaded casement windows, exposed beams, and an original fireplace, with generously-proportioned rooms, refined décor and contemporary comforts.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall, complete with useful storage, a cloakroom, and a staircase rising to the first floor. It includes an impressive triple-aspect drawing room, featuring an exposed brick fireplace with wood-burning stove and full-height glazing with French doors opening onto the rear terrace. Adjacent is a rear aspect study, and a cosy family room that opens into an expansive L-shaped orangery. Flooded with natural light, the orangery showcases two large vaulted roof lanterns, picture windows, and both French and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace, all framing wonderful views across the gardens and pool.

Accessible from both the orangery and the reception hall, the kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. The dual aspect kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a large central island with breakfast bar, complementary worksurfaces and splashbacks, and modern integrated Miele appliances. The adjoining dining area accommodates a substantial table, and a door leads to a fitted utility room with direct garden access.

Upstairs, a generous landing with additional fitted and eaves storage leads to the first floor accommodation, including the rear-facing principal bedroom, with fitted storage and an expansive en suite shower/wet room. There are four further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.

The property is approached through brick pillars and wrought iron electric gates, opening onto a gravelled driveway that provides private parking and leads to a detached outbuilding comprising a central carport flanked by single garages.

The generous, well-maintained wraparound garden is principally laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs and trees. It features a swimming pool with paved surround and a pool house with cloakroom and shower room, an adjacent thatched breeze house housing a hot tub, and a spacious paved rear terrace, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

Old Timbers is situated in the pretty parish of Maidens Green, close to Windsor Forest and Windsor Great Park, yet is well placed for easy access to the motorway network, and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.
