The house has tremendous kerb appeal sitting high and well back off Christchurch Road approached over a long driveway bordered with sculpted Yew trees. The gardens lay mainly to the front with a small rear garden and are immaculately tended and well stocked.
Internally, the layout lends itself to the contemporary family lifestyle with an enormous kitchen/breakfast/sitting room and more formal living room and dining room and a beautifully fitted study. The first floor has just four bedrooms, two suites being identical with large dressing rooms and en-suites with a further two bedrooms on the second floor. The garage is neatly tucked away to the side of the house and is beautifully fitted out with storage cupboards and a tiled floor. The property occupies a prominent central position in Virginia Water approximately half a mile from both the picturesque shopping parades of Virginia Water with its mainline railway station and Virginia Water Lake where walks can be enjoyed to Savill Garden, Smiths Lawn and Windsor Great Park.
