Overview
This exceptional Grade II listed residence masterfully integrates historic period character with the comforts of modern living to create a stunning home. The interior is light and sophisticated, boasting high ceilings typical of its architectural style, making it equally suited for contemporary family life and formal gatherings alike.
The inviting reception hall creates a powerful first impression, featuring elegant chevron wood flooring that flows throughout much of the ground level. A spacious, dual-aspect kitchen and dining area serves as a centrepiece, equipped with sleek cabinetry, a central island with a breakfast bar, and integrated appliances including a Kingswood gas hob and dishwasher, a Neff oven, and a Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer. Also on the ground floor is an elegant, dual aspect sitting room with a contemporary fireplace and direct access to the rear terrace, and a cloakroom.
On the first floor is a spacious principal suite, including a 21’9” bedroom with an en-suite dressing room and a shower room, alongside two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. The upper level offers two more bedrooms, a shower room, a laundry room, and a dedicated study area. Many rooms on these floors boast picturesque views of the surrounding communal gardens and grounds.
Outside
Accessed through electric double gates, a shared gravel driveway leads to a double garage with ample parking for multiple vehicles. It is worth noting that the double garage offers the potential for a home office or gym (subject to any required planning permissions).
A wrought iron pedestrian gate opens onto a path that crosses a private lawn, flanked by manicured hedging and vibrant flower beds, toward the house entrance where climbing wisteria adorns the facade. At the rear, a private terrace serves as an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation, featuring dual electric awnings for shade and privacy.
Of particular note, and a unique feature, are the exception communal grounds that extend to about 12 acres and comprise formal gardens, a meadow, and a scenic lake.
The property is also within striking distance of Windsor Great Park, to which Latymer House has a residents’ access key.
