With an appealing blend of vintage characteristics alongside 21st century enhancements, the house offers a unique and relaxed living environment with accommodation arranged over three floors. Benefitting from the natural light afforded by the bay window, the sitting room offers a comfortable space for relaxation centred around a feature fireplace with decorative tiling. To the rear of the ground floor, a light-filled kitchen/breakfast room has two skylights in a part-vaulted section of the ceiling and is fitted with a pleasing combination of modern and handcrafted wooden cabinetry. There is ample space for dining in this convivial setting with French doors providing an easy transition out to the garden terrace. A cloakroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

On the first floor, there are mellow exposed floorboards in the two bedrooms which share this upper level with a creatively-inspired family bathroom, featuring a bath tub with shower over and twin-sinks on an industrial stand. At the top of the house, the principal bedroom provides a private retreat, with window and skylight admitting plenty of light.

Planning permission has been granted for a single storey rear extension which will enlarge the kitchen/breakfast room and utility room. Application No. 23/00912/FULL Decision date: 20th June 2023

Outside

To the front, a gravelled driveway provides off-road parking, with evergreen hedging creating a divide to the neighbouring property. A timber side gate and pathway offer a route to reach the naturalistic rear garden where a decked platform spans the back of the property offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. There are paved stepping stones leading across a lawn to a secluded section of the garden just beyond a rustic timber gate, which features a brick walkway through architectural planting. Timber outbuildings at this far margin of the plot offer versatile-use options and include a sauna cabin (incoming purchaser will need to install a sauna if required) and a shack providing a bolthole away from the bustle of everyday life.

Situation

Kennel Ride is believed to have been the historic site of the Royal Kennels, home to the hunting dogs of King George, who rode from Windsor Castle to hunt on Ascot Heath. In present times, this is a sought-after residential street to the north of Ascot, with the renowned racecourse just over a mile distant, along with the High Street for day-to-day amenities and the mainline station for services to London. The nearby towns of Windsor, Camberley and Guildford offer more extensive facilities.

For the commuter, Kennel Ride is well placed for rail services to London (Waterloo) from Ascot station and the M3 may be accessed at J3, in turn linking with the M25.

There is plenty of well-regarded schooling in the vicinity including Holy Trinity Primary School and the outstanding-rated Charters School.

There are prestigious golf clubs in the area including Wentworth, Sunningdale, Swinley Forest and The Berkshire, along with health and fitness clubs at The Wentworth Club, Berystede Hotel, Pennyhill Park and Coworth Park.
