3 Bedroom end-of-terrace house ● Guards Court, Ascot ● £795,000

Enjoying both exceptional convenience and a quiet, cul-de-sac setting, the house on Guards Court embodies the best of all worlds, according to its current owner. The immaculate three or four-bedroom house sits within a peaceful, sought-after development in highly desirable Sunningdale, just five minutes’ walk from the railway station with its trains to London Waterloo. “This property could be ideal for someone who works in London or is seeking easy access to the motorway and other parts of the country,” he suggests. “It is just 20 minutes from Heathrow for those who have to travel internationally and yet is just two minutes’ walk from central Sunningdale, where there are shops, cafés and restaurants. It is perfectly placed if you want to be close to all of this while also living somewhere tranquil.”

READY TO ENJOY

Built by Berkeley Homes approximately 25 years ago, the two-storey house has an abundance of kerb appeal while offering modern, flexible accommodation. The current owner bought it in 2013 and has ensured it has been regularly upgraded since then. “It was originally completed to a high specification and we have maintained it to the same standard over the years since then,” he explains. “We replaced the kitchen and the family bathroom and have recently redecorated it from top to bottom. The garden has also been well cared for and the shed has been improved.” He adds: “It is now ready for new owners to move straight into and enjoy.”

IN FULL BLOOM

With an appealing, brick facade and covered entrance, the property is set back from the road by two private, off-road parking spaces. “There is a lovely cherry tree here too, which has the most beautiful blossom and is maintained by the residents’ association.” From the porch, there is access to the central hall, which has a convenient downstairs cloakroom, as well as built-in storage, to the right. To the left, a door opens into a room with a window to the front of the house. This could be a family room, playroom or study – or could even offer the versatility of becoming a fourth bedroom. “This room has been used as a bedroom in the past,” he observes. “It could also be an ideal office for someone wishing to be able to work comfortably from home.”

FAMILY TIME

The entrance hall opens up to reveal the main living space – a superb, open-plan sitting and dining room, with French windows leading into a conservatory at one end. Very much the heart of the Sunningdale home, this features an elegant, period-style fireplace that is fitted with a living flame-effect, gas fire. “This makes the room cosy and welcoming in the autumn and winter, while in the spring and summer, the doors to the conservatory and then the garden beyond can be kept open.” The sitting and dining room provides ample space for comfortable seating as well as a table and chairs. “The layout here is perfect for family life as well as for entertaining,” says the owner.

A CHEFft S KITCHEN

Also cleverly laid out for socialising, the kitchen adjoins the main living space. Decorated in subtle green, with white units and dark work surfaces, this offers ample food storage and preparation space. With a window overlooking the conservatory, it is a light room which has been designed with the chef in mind. “Everything is within easy reach: there is a double sink, with a waste disposal unit, and an integral fridge freezer, cooker and dishwasher.” The conservatory spans almost the entire width of the house and is a pleasant place to relax with a cup of tea or glass of wine. It could also be a children’s playroom. “New owners may even decide they want to use this space as a dining room,” he suggests.

MASTER OF ALL

The top floor of the property accommodates the main bedrooms, as well as the bathrooms. The generous master bedroom encompasses built-in wardrobes and features two windows that overlook the garden. “The en suite bathroom is also a good size – it has a full-size bath with a shower above.” Two other bedrooms, which also have fitted storage, sit to the front of the house. One of these is roomy enough for a double bed while the other is a single and could be ideal for a child. The family bathroom, which also has a bath with a shower over, is on the first floor too. There is also access to the loft, which is boarded out and has a pull-down ladder. “This is a lovely house, which has a relatively new boiler and is well insulated,” adds the owner. “It is an extremely comfortable place to live and it is in a great location for reaching everything you are likely to need.”

SETTING THE SCENE

The Sunningdale house enjoys the rare benefit of two private, off-road parking spaces. To the rear, it opens up to an enclosed courtyard garden, with leafy shrubs and borders and a useful shed.
