Lower Cippenham LaneSlough, Berkshire, SL1 5DG

This exceptional Grade II listed, five-bedroom detached home sits on a generous plot and represents a significant piece of Cippenham’s history. Centrally positioned within its grounds, the house offers a rare sense of space and privacy, perfectly complementing its grand character and period charm. The property is ideally located just over a mile from the Elizabeth Line with direct trains into central London.

Originally built in about 1551, Cippenham Place was extended in 1760 and again in 1979, now offering almost 2,400 sq ft of versatile living accommodation. The original structural timberwork has been extensively and sympathetically restored by National Trust craftsmen over the last decade, with the current owners maintaining and enhancing its historic features throughout. Period features include an array of exposed beams, traditional fireplaces and flagstone flooring.

On the ground floor, the reception hall is full of character and leads to the main principal reception rooms. The sitting room features a striking inglenook fireplace with a Sussex Weald fireback, creating a focal point while an adjacent snug provides a more relaxed setting complete with a fireplace. A spacious dining room opens into the kitchen, with a range of units and integrated appliances. In addition is a utility area, with space and plumbing for appliances leading through to a bath/shower room. Completing the ground floor is a charming study, just off the reception hall.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with stairs from the landing leading to a fifth bedroom, which intriguingly contains an historic priest hole hidden within the walls.

The grounds of Cippenham Place are as remarkable as the house itself, featuring two outbuildings, a listed granary set on staddlestones and a large Grade II listed barn with a second floor. To one side of the garden lies a former moat, partially planted with spring bulbs, and the front garden features a large lawn dotted with wildflowers, as well as two plum and an apple tree. A patio courtyard at the rear, accessible from the kitchen, leads to an additional lawned area bordered by established trees and shrubs. Two sets of gates provide access from the road, adding to the property’s sense of privacy.
