6 bed detached house for sale

Moorlands Drive, Pinkneys Green SL6

In a fantastic position for enjoying the National Trust land to the northwest of Maidenhead, Moorlands enjoys a pleasant village setting while being a short distance from excellent transport links and the vibrant town centre. The detached house is believed to have been built in the 1800s and has a very private setting enclosed within its own walled gardens, on a quiet lane. The generous proportions of the house make it ideal for families and there is excellent potential for further modernisation, or extension subject to investigations and the necessary consents. The home has many features providing extensive character, from exposed beams and wood floors to open fireplaces and decorative plasterwork. The décor is traditionally appointed and, though well maintained, would benefit from cosmetic improvements.

The substantial accommodation is arranged over four floors, beginning with cellars for storage. The ground floor has three reception rooms, a conservatory overlooking the south facing garden and a kitchen with adjoining utility room and pantry. The first floor comprises two en suite double bedrooms (one with a sauna), a further double bedroom and a cloakroom/WC. On the second floor, which has expansive views over the surrounding commons, are three bedrooms (one currently used as a playroom/home office), a bathroom and WC.

Outside

Moorlands enjoys a corner position on a plot of approx. 0.4 acres, between Moorlands Drive and Bakers Lane. To the front, the house looks out over the National Trust-owned commons, with footpaths leading from directly outside the home. A gated entrance provides access to a walled parking area at the rear of the house as well as to a car port and an outbuilding with garaging space and storage. The south-facing garden is situated to the front of the house and is wonderfully secluded, with a high wall and mature trees and shrubbery around the boundary providing a high degree of privacy. The garden is level and mostly lawned and includes a substantial terrace and an outdoor swimming pool (in need of renovation), plus two storage sheds.
