About this property
A very large ground floor three bedroom conversion apartment in this Grade II listed building designed to offer stunning but practical accommodation in this striking setting.
The layout and styling accentuates the combination of modern and historic influences perfectly. It includes al entrance hall, which was perhaps the cloisters originally, looking onto the green communal convent square with a breadth of arched windows. Also of note is a huge feature fireplace in the sitting room containing intricate stone carved panelling. A spiral staircase leads to a galleried mezzanine bedroom with an en suite shower room.
The interior has been fitted with a sleek modern kitchen with integral appliances. The spacious open-plan kitchen design provides ample space for informal dining, with the cloisters offering the perfect venue for more formal dining occasions.
The Convent dates back to 1853 when the renowned ecclesiastical architect Henry Woodyear designed the chapel and offices that would become the Convent of St. John the Baptist at Clewer. These Gothic buildings have been restored by Hollyhedge (part of Westombe Homes Group) and are surrounded by landscaped grounds to provide a secluded and peaceful environment

You can sit in the cloisters eating your breakfast, enjoying the warm, morning sun as it pours through all the arched windows and look out onto the large green courtyard and incredible surrounding architecture.

Local information
- Hatch Lane is conveniently situated for Windsor town centre, with its extensive range of shopping facilities. The various local attractions include Windsor Castle (currently the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen), Windsor Great Park, the Theatre Royal Windsor, Legoland, Savill Garden and Virginia Water Lake.
- Windsor offers a fine choice of shops, bars and restaurants and the epicurean village of Bray, just 5.5 miles away, offers Michelin starred restaurants including the renowned Fat Duck, Waterside Inn and Hinds Head, plus Caldesi in Campagna and The Crown. The additional shopping facilities, bars and restaurants of the quaint and historic town of Eton may be accessed from Windsor via a footbridge. Windsor is surrounded by miles of beautiful countryside yet is still within easy commuting distance of Central London.
- For the commuter, road travel is excellent with the M4 (J6) providing access to Heathrow Airport, Central London and the West Country and also linking with the M25, in turn linking with the M3. Rail communications are equally as convenient with Windsor's two stations, Windsor and Eton Central and Windsor and Eton Riverside, offering services to London Waterloo and London Paddington (via Slough) respectively. Crossrail, the new high-speed rail service is in its infancy providing a much faster service from Windsor to either Heathrow in the West or the City & Canary Wharf in the East.
- Sporting and leisure facilities in the region include golf at Wentworth, Sunningdale, The Berkshire & Swinley Forest golf clubs, horse racing at Windsor and Ascot, polo at the Royal Country of Berkshire Polo Club and Guards Polo Club, flying at White Waltham Airfield, walking and riding in Windsor Great Park and the surrounding countryside, rowing at Maidenhead Rowing Club, Dorney Lake and Henley, and boating on some stretches of the River Thames.
