Hawthorn Hill, Warfield, Bracknell, Berkshire

Badgers Mead is an exquisitely crafted, classically inspired residence, built in 2018 by the renowned Havisham Homes. From its grand reception hall to the exquisitely appointed bedroom suites, every detail has been carefully considered to create a truly remarkable home.

Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the house enjoys an elevated position that takes full advantage of the sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and the fairways of Birds Hill Golf Centre.

A sweeping driveway approaches the striking façade, creating an impressive first impression and setting the stage for this remarkable property. The current owners have maintained the home to an exceptional standard, and the spacious, light-filled interiors are thoughtfully arranged across two elegant floors.

The ground floor opens with a striking reception hall, featuring a meticulously crafted focal-point staircase with iron balustrades and elegant handrails, and leads to four generously sized reception rooms.

They flow harmoniously into a show-stopping open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, complete with an adjoining utility/boot room, and a cloakroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with a bespoke range of cabinetry by Charles Yorke, a large central island with a polished granite worktop and featuring an integral breakfast bar, and high-quality Miele appliances; bifold doors provide direct access to the terrace, a feature mirrored in the family area, which comfortably accommodates a dining table for informal meals.

There are four impressive reception rooms, each designed for both functionality and grandeur: the dual aspect drawing room with a limestone fireplace, a dining room, distinguished by a graceful bow window that bathes the space in natural light, a generously proportioned sitting room, and a study, fitted with bespoke furniture.

Upstairs, five luxurious bedroom suites deliver exceptional comfort and style. The standout principal suite includes a 30 ft. bedroom, a walk-in dressing room with bespoke Charles Yorke cabinetry, a lavish en suite bathroom, and a private terrace that captures uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Bedroom 2 enjoys views across the gardens and benefits from its own walk-in dressing room and an en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms each have bespoke storage and private, well-appointed en-suite bathrooms.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway that offers plentiful parking and seamless access to the double garage, creating a grand and welcoming approach. The garage, with remote-controlled up-and-over doors, is equipped with light and power, and includes an office/reception room above, accessed via an external staircase.
Situated on approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the property occupies an elevated position, offering breathtaking views over sweeping lawns, mature trees, and manicured flowerbeds.

A highlight of the property is the stunning outdoor swimming pool, accompanied by a spacious sun terrace that extends across the entire width of the house, creating a perfect backdrop for summer entertaining and outdoor dining.

It is worth noting that planning permission was previously granted to connect the garage to the main house (now lapsed): Erection of part single, part two storey side extension with first floor balcony forming link to detached garage, and installation of dormer to garage following removal of existing stepped access.
