Set within 40 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland just west of Windsor, this home is a true escape from it all. Blending contemporary interiors into a traditional English setting, there’s so much to love here. As for location – you couldn’t want more. You’ll spy Windsor Castle on the horizon, and both Ascot and Windsor are fifteen minutes away. Central London? Reachable in just thirty minutes. With stables and an indoor arena on-site, it’s also handy to know that this is set within a prime polo location. And if you'd rather have a relaxing day at home, with a pool, tennis court, gym, library, home cinema, and country walks from the doorstep, there’s so much entertainment, you may never want to leave.
