SITUATION:
Here's an unmissable opportunity to acquire a sympathetically renovated two bedroomed terraced home, enjoying a prime location in the sought-after St Marks area of Maidenhead.
Just 0.8 miles to the town centre, the property nestles in an appealing leafy neighbourhood offering a selection of local shops, a popular cafe, pub, a doctor’s surgery and many other amenities.
With Maidenhead station only 0.8 miles from the property, providing access to London Paddington and Canary Wharf (via Elizabeth Line services), the property is also a great option for commuters or as an investment opportunity. With the ongoing regeneration of Maidenhead’s town centre there is no better time to take advantage of this fantastic property which is conveniently located close to major transport links such as M4, M25, M40 and A404.
For families, Powney Road is a practical choice owing to its proximity to some of the area's most popular schools, including Ofsted rated Good and Outstanding primary and secondary schools. It also provides the perfect base for accessing a selection of grammar and independent schools across Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
Maidenhead lies seven miles from the beautiful historic town of Windsor with its famous racecourse, iconic castle, and popular pedestrianised shopping centre. Maidenhead also provides easy access to rural villages such as Cookham, Marlow and Bray, where tea rooms, acclaimed eateries and boutique shops can be enjoyed, as well as breath-taking countryside and riverside walks along the Thames. Approximately one mile from Powney Road is Pinkneys Green, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a local favourite for rambling, dog walking and cycling.
INTERIOR:
The enveloping charm of this deceptively spacious home cannot be missed when stepping inside the cosy entrance. The exposed wooden floorboards, doors and high ceilings set a characterful ambiance which is replicated throughout the property thanks to the original Victorian features the property enjoys.
To the immediate left, the delightful living room is found - basking in lovely natural light, owing to the large windows, yet providing a snug space for tucking up around the open fire. The cast iron hearth and surround are embellished with decorative tiles making the fireplace a beautiful feature of the room.
The corridor flows into the wonderful 2nd living / dining room, a bright and generous room, perfect for enjoying family time, dining or entertaining. Another original cast iron fireplace set with contrasting hearth tiles reinforces the period feel along with large sash windows providing a beautiful view onto the lovely private garden.
The dining room benefits from an under-stairs cupboard perfect for additional storage.
The kitchen has been stylishly refurbished by the current owners. An abundance of high and low-level units is completed with wooden worktops, with a gas hob and extractor above. The kitchen is half tiled with eye-catching contrasting wall tiles and a durable tiled floor. There is space for a free-standing washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The kitchen benefits from much natural light by way of a garden facing window, and a convenient side door provides access into the rear garden.
Maintaining the traditional sash style, the property’s windows have been replaced throughout, with beautiful bespoke shutters adding style and privacy downstairs.
A flight of stairs from the corridor leads up to the two double bedrooms and family bathroom. Bedroom One is an exceptionally generous room with two windows providing scenic views across the surrounding neighbourhood. It benefits from original wooden floorboards and a walk-in floor-to-ceiling cupboard. The attractive cast iron fireplace adds a touch of elegance and history to this beautiful room.
Bedroom Two is a garden facing room with high ceilings and a large window from which a colourful view of the garden can be admired.
The bathroom located at the end of the corridor has been refurbished to include high quality Silverdale Sanitary and brassware. It consists of a four-piece suite including a bathtub and a shower cubicle with a glass panel. Tiled from floor to ceiling the bathroom also benefits from a wall mounted heated towel rail.
EXTERIOR:
A door from the kitchen allows convenient access to the fully enclosed rear garden which is flanked by a tall wooden fence to the side and rear. The garden comprises an expanse of lawn in part and is completed by a paved patio area perfect for a BBQ or outdoor entertaining. There is a shed at the bottom of the garden and a secure wooden gate provides external access from the garden.
To the front, the property is approached via a pathway through the front garden which is protected by a wooden picket fence.
Coupled with the excellent amenities that Maidenhead has to offer, this uniquely characterful and desirable home provides an ideal lifestyle for commuters or families with growing children. Although immaculately presented as it is, the property also has additional scope for extension a/o conversion opportunities if desired. Early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
