Dating back to 1606, Foliejon Cottage is a quintessential Grade II listed period house offering the rare opportunity for those seeking a traditional property bursting with character. In addition to the main house, there is a separate office with its own gas fireplace that would suit those wishing to work from home, and a large detached garden room, also with a fireplace, that is currently utilised as a gym. The delightful gardens provide an ideal setting for the property and extreme care and attention to detail is evident throughout the house, creating a most appealing and fascinating family home.
The house is arranged to provide adaptable accommodation arranged over two levels and boasts many period and interesting features including exposed beams, leaded Crittal windows, fireplaces, carved doors and joinery, and the original and fully working butler/servants bell display box. The ground floor is entered via a welcoming reception hall that opens into a remarkable drawing room with a Stovax multi-fuel stove, an alcove with carved wooden panelling and shelving, and a glazed door opening into a loggia. This covered area provides the perfect space for dining and entertaining, being sheltered on three sides, and incorporating a glazed wall. The dining room is equally as impressive, featuring a stone fireplace with a Stovax multi-fuel stove, and is ideal for more formal occasions.
The adjoining spacious kitchen/breakfast room suits a modern lifestyle and boasts a marble floor with under-floor heating and unusually, a superb Norcool walk-in refrigerator. The kitchen has been beautifully fitted with a comprehensive range of units, granite worksurfaces, a double Butler sink unit, a Lacanche range cooker and integrated appliances; there is ample space for a breakfast table, perfect informal dining. A scullery area, fitted to echo the style of the kitchen, including a double butler sink, features an integrated Siemens dishwasher and a warming drawer. A fitted utility room, also with marble flooring, has space for appliances. The ground floor further comprises a cosy dual aspect snug with a gas fireplace, and a cloakroom.
Situated on the first floor is the striking principal bedroom with a beamed vaulted ceiling, feature fireplace, and a carved oak door leading to an en suite shower room. This floor is host to six further well-proportioned bedrooms (one of which is currently being utilised as a dressing room), a family bathroom, family shower room, and a useful separate WC.<br /><br />Set within landscaped gardens, the property is approached over a gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. A detached brick-built building houses a double garage and a home office. The well-maintained landscaped garden surrounds the property on all sides and is laid mainly to level lawn with numerous flowerbeds and various seating areas and terraces that provide ideal entertaining and al fresco dining space. A spacious garden room/gym is discreetly positioned away from the house.
Services: Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage<br /><br />Foliejon Cottage enjoy a semi-rural setting between the pretty hamlet of Maidens Green and Winkfield Village, close to Windsor Forest. It is well placed for access to London via the motorway network and by rail. Ascot, Windsor and Maidenhead provide a good range of shopping and leisure facilities and the area also boasts some fine country pubs and restaurants and it is worth noting that the well-regarded Winning Post is just 350 yards from the property.
The area offers a wide range of sporting facilities including horse riding and polo in Windsor Great Park, horse racing at Ascot and Windsor, and golf at Sunningdale, The Royal Berkshire and Wentworth, to name a few. Keen walkers can enjoy the renowned three-mile Long Walk leading from Windsor Castle to the impressive Copper Horse statue together with spectacular parks including Windsor Great Park with around 4,800 acres to explore.
The property is also well located for excellent schools, in both the state and independent sectors.
