4 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Hurley, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6

Willowloft is a modernist property built in 1962 and designed by Hartry, Grover and Halter who were award winning designers of contemporary houses at that time.

The house has been in the same ownership since 1978 and retains many of its original features as well as offering scope to extend and enlarge subject to the relevant permissions being obtained.

The property enjoys an extremely private location off the High Street in Hurley. The house is approached via a private drive and lies behind a beautiful old brick and flint wall, further screened by a mature yew hedge. The house is entered via a bright and welcoming glazed entrance hall which provides access to a large and well equipped utility room with a door out to the garden. At the end of the hall a door opens into the guest bedroom suite complete with en suite shower room, fitted wardrobes and full-length sliding doors opening onto the patio and gardens beyond.

Upstairs the main reception room has full length windows providing lovely views over the garden and maximising the natural light which is a feature throughout the house. The stone chimney breast with open fireplace cleverly defines the space between the kitchen, dining and sitting rooms and provides a striking focal point. The kitchen is well laid out with a range of eye and base level units and a breakfast bar. From here the hallway leads to a further three bedrooms all of which have fitted wardrobes and are served by the family bathroom.

Outside there is a double garage which lies adjacent to the house with a separate office/studio with views over the rear gardens. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs, trees and hedges providing privacy and a host of different seating areas including a pergola covered with wisteria, patios and an attractive summerhouse.

Willowloft is situated in the charming and much sought after riverside village of Hurley. The village boasts the 12th century Ye Olde Bell Hotel and restaurant, a shop, a pub and Post Office. The nearby towns of Henley-on-Thames, Marlow, Reading and Maidenhead offer a good range of shopping and recreational facilities.
