Kings Ride, Ascot, Berkshire SL5

An exceptional penthouse apartment spanning over 9,400 sq ft, set with 12 acres in the Englemere Estate.

Set behind electronic security gates and approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, the Englemere Estate represents one of Ascot’s most prestigious residential enclaves. Crowning this magnificent neo-classical building is The Penthouse, a unique residence of exceptional proportions that has been meticulously crafted to the highest specification. From the private elevator and integrated sound system to the climate-controlled comfort of full air conditioning, every detail has been engineered to provide a lifestyle of effortless luxury.

Inside, the home is a masterclass in spatial design. The reception rooms are remarkably spacious and well-arranged, creating an environment that is as grand as it is inviting. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or entertaining on a magnificent scale, the layout flows seamlessly from the elegant formal rooms to a state-of-the-art cinema. This sense of space extends to the outdoors via extensive private terraces-a true sanctuary in the sky featuring both a therapeutic hot tub and a dedicated swimming machine.

While designed for grand entertaining, the property is equally well-suited for refined family living. The accommodation is anchored by an excellent principal bedroom suite and a secondary guest suite, both of which benefit from the luxury of private terraces. Three further bedroom suites ensure ample space for family or staff, culminating in a home that is as functional as it is opulent.

Gardens and Grounds

The stunning scenery of Englemere continues across its twelve acres of historic gardens, where many original features remain beautifully preserved. Among these is the original squash court-first erected by Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Weigall-which has been thoughtfully renovated into a luxury leisure suite. This private club-style facility offers a gymnasium, kitchen, and dedicated changing rooms. For summer recreation, the suite opens onto a heated 16 x 8-metre swimming pool, a dedicated BBQ entertaining area, and two hard-surface tennis courts.

Complete with secure allocated underground parking for four vehicles, The Penthouse at Englemere offers a truly magnificent lifestyle, combining the heritage of a country estate with the pinnacle of modern luxury.

Gardens and Grounds

Set within the prestigious, gated sanctuary of the Englemere Estate, 16 Englemere offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, elegance, and unparalleled convenience. This exclusive 12-acre parkland setting provides a tranquil escape, complete with manicured communal gardens, a heated outdoor pool, and private tennis courts, all while being moments away from the vibrant heart of Ascot.

The residence is perfectly positioned for world-class leisure. Horse racing enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the iconic Ascot Racecourse, while the nearby Guards Polo Club and Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club cater to the area’s rich equestrian heritage. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the vast expanses of Windsor Great Park and the historic majesty of Windsor Castle are just a short drive away. Golfing excellence is also on your doorstep, with championship courses at Wentworth, Sunningdale, and The Berkshire providing some of the finest fairways in the country.

The area is a distinguished hub for education, surrounded by an elite selection of independent schools including St Mary’s, St George’s, and Papplewick, with the storied halls of Eton College reachable in approximately 20 minutes. The culinary scene is equally impressive; from the sophisticated gastropub atmosphere of the Royal Foresters and the cozy charm of The Thatched Tavern to the Michelin-starred excellence found at Coworth Park or the world-renowned dining destination of Bray.

Connectivity is a hallmark of this location. Ascot Station provides a direct and frequent rail link to London Waterloo, making it an ideal base for professionals. The property also benefits from swift access to the M3, M4, and M25 motorway networks, ensuring seamless travel across the Home Counties. For international travel, Heathrow Airport is conveniently accessible in under 25 minutes, making this one of the most well-connected and desirable addresses in Berkshire.
