Clarence Road, Windsor, Berkshire

An impressive six-bedroom period property thought to date from James Bedborough’s creation of Victorian houses, built around the mid-19th century in Clarence Crescent and the surrounding roads.

A welcoming reception hall leads to steps rising to the main hallway and through to two well-appointed ground-floor reception rooms — the sitting room at the front, featuring a statement fireplace, and the generous drawing room at the rear, which features an ornate panelled ceiling, a fireplace with a logburner, and a large sash window overlooking the south-facing garden. Additionally, the ground floor includes a useful private study, ideal for home working, while the living and entertaining space continues on the lower ground floor. This level features a formal dining room at the front and, at the rear, a well-equipped kitchen with modern fitted units, granite worksurfaces, a central island, an Aga, and a breakfast area with built-in window seating. The adjoining utility room has further storage space, with the ground floor also including a laundry and a store room.

The bedrooms are arranged across the first, second, and third floors, with two generous double bedrooms on each level. The first floor includes the principal bedroom with a raised seating area beneath the window that affords a view of the spire of the Holy Trinity Church, and a spacious en suite bathroom fitted with a ‘ball and claw’ footed bath. A further generous bedroom, a dressing room (that could service as a bedroom if required), and a family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. The second floor is host to two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, the other with an en suite cloakroom. French doors from the landing open onto a south and west-facing roof terrace. The top floor could be utilised as guest or au pair accommodation and comprises either two bedrooms or a bedroom and sitting room, along with a kitchen area and a shower room.

At the front of the property, a gate opens into the enclosed front garden, with a pathway and steps leading to the main entrance. The garden is bordered by a low wall topped by wrought-iron railings and includes a paved terrace and flower/shrub borders. A principally covered pathway leads round the side of the house to the rear garden, which is south-facing and welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes a patio area for al fresco dining and beyond, an area of lawn with border beds filled with established shrubs and colourful flowering perennials. There is a second patio at the end of the garden, providing further space in which to relax.
