5 bed detached house for sale

College Avenue, Maidenhead SL6

Set back on a leafy avenue just a short stroll from the town centre, 42 College Avenue is a substantial Victorian home with a thoroughly modern soul. Built circa 1895 and thoughtfully extended over time, this detached home offers space, elegance and a quietly confident charm — the kind of property that welcomes you with open arms and reveals its layers slowly.

Inside, the house opens up beautifully. Light filters through sash windows and skylights, glancing off wooden floors and soft period detailing. There’s a graceful flow between rooms — from the bay-fronted sitting room with its marble fireplace, through to the dining room and into the heart of the home: A striking kitchen set beneath a vaulted ceiling. With granite worktops, a central island, and garden views, it’s a space made for gathering — calm in the mornings, full of life in the evenings.

The ground floor offers remarkable flexibility. A guest bedroom/family room provides a quiet corner for work or rest, while a further study and garden room gives a growing family lots of options to have their own space. The play room and utility room complete the ground floor, each adding to the sense of thoughtful design and practical ease.

Upstairs, four bedrooms continue the feeling of generous proportions and natural light. The principal suite is a standout — a vaulted ceiling creates a peaceful retreat with skylights above and a fabulous en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom round out the upper floor.

Beyond the house, the garden offers space and seclusion. A stunning terrace wraps around the kitchen — a perfect spot for summer evenings — and a broad lawn extends to the rear, edged by mature borders. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, completing the picture of a home that offers both beauty and everyday ease.

Location is key, and College Avenue delivers on every front. Maidenhead Station is within easy walking distance, offering fast and direct access to London via the Elizabeth Line — a game-changer for city commutes. Families will also appreciate the excellent local schooling, with sought-after primary and secondary options all close at hand
