Manor Drive, Shurlock Row, Berkshire, RG10

Knight Frank is pleased to offer this Victorian detached property with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, four reception rooms and extensive outbuildings, including a two-storey coach house and garaging. The property also has a derelict Victorian stable block, an excellent opportunity for redevelopment (subject to planning). The property is set in grounds of approximately 3 acres.

The property is in the heart of Shurlock Row, a popular commuter village because of its proximity to London, Maidenhead, Reading and Bracknell. The village is surrounded by woodland and farmland, providing great walking, cycling and horseriding spaces.

Stables Cottage is a period cottage approached via a long driveway. You enter a hallway that has doors accessing the reception rooms and kitchen. The reception rooms include a dual-aspect sitting room, a spacious reception room with French windows opening on to the rear terrace, a beamed ceiling and a wonderful open fireplace. Access to a study/workroom with a door leading to the courtyard and coach house is from the reception room. A dining room has French windows to the rear terrace and leads into the kitchen. The kitchen has fitted wall and floor units and a range of integrated appliances, including a split-level oven, wine fridge and dishwasher. There is also a larder. A cloak cupboard and W.C. complete the ground floor accommodation.

The stairs are accessible from the large reception room and lead to the first floor, with four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, a window seat, an en suite shower, and solid wood flooring. The three further bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes and views over the surrounding countryside.

Garden and grounds

Stables Cottage is reached via a long driveway over open farmland and through private gates. To the front of the property is a large turning circle with a pond and trees and access to a large paddock area with a mixture of hedging and tree boundary. To the rear of the property is a paved terrace area leading to a lawned garden bordered by hedges and trees. To the side is a large courtyard with access to several outbuildings, including a garage, an open garage with the oil tank, a large coach house with several rooms on both the ground and first floor and stone steps down to the paddock, and a further stable building that needs complete restoration due to fire damage. The land totals approximately three acres.
