Hitcham Grange, Taplow, Maidenhead SL6

Situation:

This elegant and immaculately presented two bedroomed apartment forms part of Hitcham Grange, a handsome and imposing 18th Century country home steeped with history, which nestles discreetly on Hill Farm Road, minutes from the welcoming village of Taplow. The property has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners, creating a wonderful blend of homeliness, style, and space while maintaining the charm and character of this unique country residence.

Taplow Village is a highly sought after semi-rural locality, desirable for its traditional community feel, boasting a primary school, a lovely green, a village hall, and a popular pub - The Oak & Saw. The village is conveniently positioned to take advantage of major transport routes such as M4, M25 and M40, and with railway stations at Taplow (0.6 miles) and Burnham (1.8 miles) linking directly with London Paddington via the Elizabeth Line and Network Rail services, this is a convenient location for city commuters. The area is locally serviced by the popular Bishop Centre with its designer outlets, coffee shops, eateries, and a Tesco superstore. And easily reached are the neighbouring towns of Maidenhead (2.6 miles), Windsor (6.5 miles) and Beaconsfield (6.4 miles), where a wide range of shops, restaurants, sport and leisure facilities and other essential services can be enjoyed. Walks in open fields and riverside strolls are in abundance in the immediate vicinity thanks to the Thames River which meanders through the surrounding unspoiled countryside. While Burnham Beeches - a Special Area of Conservation - provides the perfect backdrop for dog walking, horse riding and cycle trails.

Hill Farm Road is well located for some of the area's most popular Ofsted rated 'Good' schools and offers a convenient base from which many of the sought-after grammar schools in both Berkshire and Buckinghamshire can be reached.

Interior:

The apartment is situated on the first floor of the beautiful, converted house - reached via a short flight of stairs.

An original cast iron fireplace set with contrasting hearth tiles reinforces the period ambiance of this delightful room, along with an eye-catching bay window from which a stunning open vista of the secluded communal gardens can be admired. Maintaining the traditional sash style, the property’s windows have been replaced throughout the apartment, benefitting from wooden frames and beautiful bespoke shutters which add style and privacy.

An abundance of high and low-level units including capacious larder pull-out drawers, is completed with contrasting solid quartz worktops, with a free-standing gas hob and extractor above. The fitted appliances include a fridge / freezer. There is provision for a free-standing washing machine / dryer. The kitchen benefits from much natural light by way of a rear garden facing window.

Bedroom Two, (currently in use as a home office), is a light and airy room with a rear garden facing window. The sumptuous bathroom is located off the main corridor, next to Bedroom One. Having undergone full refurbishment, it comprises a Burlington three-piece suite including a cast iron roll-top bath with a rain shower and a handheld shower attachment.
