Set in 5.5 acres, an exceptional property of immense character, moments from Ascot High Street

Set within glorious grounds, Wellsbridge House is an exceptional property offering generously proportioned accommodation that provides flexibility and is equally suited to both family living and formal entertaining. With origins believed to date back to the late 1800s, this appealing and fascinating property successfully blends period features with the luxuries of modern day living. In addition to the main house, there is ancillary accommodation in the form of a self-contained 1-bedroom annexe and a detached 3-bedroom cottage, both could provide useful guest/staff accommodation or alternatively, could generate an income stream.

The house is entered via a reception vestibule with a tessellated floor, opening into a sizeable reception hall that creates a striking first impression, with its oak panelled walls, ornate staircase, fireplace and stripped wooden floor. Situated off the reception hall is the spacious and elegant drawing room that is exceptionally light and airy due to its triple aspect. This room features wood flooring, two bay windows, double doors opening out to the gardens, and unusually, a fireplace at both ends. To the other side of the reception hall is the formal dining room with oak wall panelling to half height and a fireplace with carved overmantle as a focal point, as does the connecting sitting room.

The reception rooms, combined with the adjacent kitchen and breakfast room, provide excellent entertaining and relaxation space. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive and bespoke range of units, a central island with an integral breakfast bar, and integral appliances, whilst the adjoining breakfast room provides ideal space for informal dining and boasts direct access to the indoor swimming pool.

The ground floor further comprises a utility room, two cloakrooms, boiler room, store rooms, and an inner courtyard where there is access to the annexe with its kitchen, sitting/bedroom and bathroom. The annexe also has the advantage of independent outside access.

To the first floor is the principal bedroom suite comprising a generously proportioned bedroom with a large bay window, an en suite dressing room, also with a bay window, and a bathroom. Also located on this floor is a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and two family bathrooms. Two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a study occupy the second floor.

This property has 5.5 acres of land.

Outside

Unusually for a property located so close to the centre of Ascot, Wellsbridge House sits within 5.5 acres of gardens and grounds that create a parkland style setting and afford an immense sense of privacy. Situated away from the main house is the detached cottage comprising a sitting room, kitchen, cloakroom, 3 bedrooms, bathroom, separate WC and useful store room. There is an adjoining garage and additional stores. The cottage also benefits from separate vehicular access from Coombe Lane. A variety of outbuildings include additional garaging, stores/sheds and two large greenhouses.
