_Old Meets New_
Just 8 minutes from Maidenhead station, Highbrook House was constructed by its
current owners in 2019 with the objective of building a new home (with all the
advantages that affords) but in a style sympathetic to its semi - rural
surroundings.
The tasteful green double - glazed windows and doors, the timber porch, the
cream rendered walls and the half - height brick course sympathetically allude
to a style of property that you would be forgiven for assuming has more
history than it actually does.
Located at the far end of a quiet cul - de - sac, minutes from the centre of
Holyport village and even closer still to Holyport college, Highbrook House is
perfectly positioned to achieve an ideal balance of rural living and
commuting, socialising or entertaining with such convenient access to London
thanks to the Elizabeth line.
The gravel drive provides parking for four cars and is gated for additional
peace of mind.
_Welcome Home_
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. This
tastefully decorated space has plenty of room for shoe benches or side tables
and is the first point at which you get a glimpse of the engineered oak
flooring that runs throughout the ground floor, along with the underfloor
heating.
_A Chef’s Kiss_
Along the hall to the rear of the property is the spectacular and spacious
open - plan kitchen / dining room. Flooded with natural light, principally from
the near full width bifold doors out to the patio and garden, this is a
wonderful space to relax, work or entertain.
The Neptune kitchen features built - in appliances for the oven and dishwasher,
a Zanussi induction hob & extractor and a large double width kitchen island
with built - in sink and practical yet aesthetically pleasing curved worktop and
units. Additionally, thought has been given to how best to integrate a large
American - style fridge - freezer to one end of the open pantry shelves, tucked
away behind the partition wall.
_Work, Rest or Play_
This large open - plan space comfortably accommodates a sizeable dining table
and other furniture, such as dressers and sideboards, without feeling at all
encroached upon. In fact, there is so much room here there’s space to create a
snug seating area right in the heart of the home for cosy chats over coffee,
after - school debriefs or post - dinner digestifs.
In the summer, you can throw open the bifolds and bring the outside in for
that perfect post - barbecue combination as the sun starts to set and the night
draws in. During colder months, you can gaze out at the moody skies from the
smug snugness of this EPC b - rated cosy home.
_And Relax_
If you are looking for a more secluded entertaining or family space, to the
front of the property is the ideal sitting room.
This double - aspect, generously proportioned room is perfect for snuggling up
for a movie, sitting down with friends for a catch up or for whiling away one
of those days where only the sofa will do!
The box bay window overlooking the drive adds an extra element of character
and charm to a room with an overwhelmingly welcoming feel.
_Flexible Living_
Adjacent to the sitting room is a real Swiss - army knife of a room. A stunning
study, perfect playroom, or terrific hobby room in its own right, this room
also makes a brilliant fifth bedroom and is directly opposite the downstairs
bathroom which features a large walk - in rainfall shower. The options are many
and varied and leave you with truly flexible accommodation that can be re -
defined to suit your requirements.
_And So, To Bed_
Climbing the u - shaped wooden stairs to the landing, directly in front of you
is the family bathroom with bath and shower. To the left of this and above the
kitchen is the double - aspect master bedroom and ensuite with views over the
garden and beyond.
_The Land of Nod_
The remaining three bedrooms are accessed from the main landing with two to
the front of the house and one to the rear, next door to the master suite.
They are all practically laid out and provide a number of options in terms of
bed configuration.
_The Great Outdoors_
The garden features a patio area directly outside the kitchen / dining room,
perfect for barbecues, fire pits or chimineas.
The rest of the garden has been laid with artificial grass for low -
maintenance, year - round usability and convenience.
The garden extends to nearly 80 feet by 30 feet and, whilst designed as low
maintenance, has plenty of scope for keen gardeners to create something truly
bespoke from a blank canvas.
_Plans to Grow_
Highbrook House currently tips the scales at just under 1, 800 sq ft (164 sq
m). However, there is approved planning permission to extend out over the
flat - roofed kitchen, creating an additional ~947 sq ft / 88 sq m of
accommodation and increasing the size of the house by ~46%.
The extra space incorporates a stunning new master suite with triple aspect
floor - to - ceiling windows in the new bedroom, a dressing room and an ensuite
with freestanding bath and shower. Additionally, a large dressing room will be
added to bedroom 4 making this a room to envy.
This represents a great opportunity to add significant extra space affordably
and quickly without undertaking any groundworks / foundations. Additionally,
this future growth was cleverly anticipated during the original construction,
so all the services and structural support needed are in place already.
