Enjoying an unusually tucked away location in the heart of the picturesque village of Bray, Four Seasons is a property of modernist architecture, with a façade of weatherboarding and brickwork. It is an appealing property that currently offers more than 2000 sq. Ft of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, with the option to extend further to add an additional 2,700 sq ft, and to erect two outbuildings (one to house a pool and the other to contain an office). It may also have the option of a replacement dwelling - for further information, please see page 4.
Internally, much of the ground level features the rich-tones of wood-floor covering which provides practicality and a pleasing sense of cohesion across reception areas. These comprise a spacious sitting room, centred around a stonework fireplace, and open-plan with a dining area with picture windows and a door offering both a visual and physical connection to the rear garden. There is a flexible-use room currently presenting as a study, that would provide an excellent refuge for those seeking a home-office. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry, the kitchen/breakfast room has integrated appliances and features a breakfast bar unit creating a subtle divide within this convivial space which also provides a niche for informal dining.
A staircase rises from the reception hall to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, including a generous, dual aspect principal bedroom with a wall of fitted wardrobe storage, along with a family bathroom.
<b>Planning</b>
The present owner has obtained a Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Development for a single storey extension to the North West elevation and two outbuildings. This will enlarge the property by a further 2,700 sq ft. – App. No. 22/00019/cpd, approved March 2020.
N.B. An application for the erection of a detached dwelling with a detached garage, following the demolition of the existing dwelling and outbuildings, has been refused and is being appealed. App. No. 23/02830/full.<br /><br />Four Seasons is accessed via a timber 5-bar gate that opens onto a long driveway that leads to the gravelled frontage of the property and extends to the detached garage.
The sheltered rear garden enjoys privacy and seclusion and is principally laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees to the boundaries; there are a number of fruit trees and a magnolia tree. Paved terracing adjoins the rear of the house offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, whilst a further spot to set up garden furniture is available just outside the kitchen at the front of the property and enjoys a sunny south-easterly aspect.
Services: Mains electricity, gas, water & drainage.
Planning: Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries to the local planning authority<br /><br />The picturesque Thameside village of Bray is a gourmet hotspot with Michelin-starred restaurants on the doorstep, including the Waterside Inn, owned by the Roux brothers, Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck and Hinds Head; The Crown and Caldesi in Campagna are also within striking distance.
A comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities can be found in both Maidenhead and historic Windsor and communication links are excellent with road-users having easy access to the M4 and M25, whilst for commuters the train stations at Maidenhead and Taplow provide regular services to London (Elizabeth Line).
There are well-regarded schools in the vicinity including Oldfield School, Braywick Court Free School, Holyport College (sponsored by Eton College), St. Pirans, Claires Court and Highfield Prep School.
