Separate lighting circuits and plumbing services have already been provided for, which means that the ground floor can be reconfigured into a variety of layouts by simply erecting the desired interior stud walling. The potential layouts for the ground floor range from a large self-contained double en suite bedroom "annexe" with separate entrance, through to additional en suite bedrooms, lounge, gym and study incorporated into the main dwelling. Rarely is such flexibility and configuration achievable within the existing footprint of a property of this standing. Illustrative plans showing different configurations of the ground floor are available upon request.

The kitchen/ dining/ living room is what really makes the house for me. The space that it offers is exceptional, especially when you consider the "simply amazing" views there are over Windsor & the Chilterns beyond.
