Set on the edge of Windsor Great Park, this exquisite Grade II-listed detached Georgian red brick house is the very last house on the much-coveted Bishopsgate Road. Internal accommodation extends to almost 3,500 sq ft across six bedrooms, while the wonderfully preserved and restored original interior features are complemented by sympathetic additions, including a Plain English Design kitchen and Aston Matthews bathrooms. Large mature gardens envelop the house, directly abutting Windsor Great Park, at the edge of the deer park - Royal Lodge is this home's immediate neighbour. Access to central London is excellent, with trains from nearby Egham station taking 40 minutes, and Heathrow Airport is just 20 minutes' drive away. Local day and boarding school options are exceptional, and opportunities for country pursuits, including polo, golf, horse riding and horse racing, are world-class. Setting the Scene The house is built from finely tuck-pointed red brick, laid in Flemish bond, with a restored hipped Welsh slate roof. The plan is rectangular, and box sash windows punctuate the three-bay-wide main elevation. The central doorway has a round-arched head, with a hooded canopy resting on flat pilasters. The six-panel entrance door has a radial fanlight above. What was once an eighteenth-century cottage is set at the western range, accommodating a spacious drawing room overlooking the garden - the principal bedroom is positioned above. As part of the exhaustive renovations undertaken by the current owners, a two-storey addition was built at the rear of the house, creating additional service areas and a further bathroom above. Master craftsmen completed the restoration, and architect Brian Haward consulted on the programme of building works. All plumbing and electrical utilities were renewed, windows, shutters and plaster cornicing restored, and where necessary, replaced, and all original features were carefully preserved. Column radiators and brass dolly switches feature throughout. Additionally, a Banham security system was installed. The grounds were redesigned and landscaped with an eye to preserving the established and mature existing planting. For more information, please see the History section. The Grand Tour White-painted electronically operated wooden gates open from Bishopsgate Road to the pea gravel carriage driveway. Mature holly bushes screen the house from the road, while a large and deep crescent-shaped flowerbed adorns the front of the parking area with shrubs, flowers and a lovely magnolia tree. A driveway leads past the side of the house to a detached garage at the rear. Carefully tended lilac wisteria envelops the entire south-facing facade, creating a riot of colour and fragrance in springtime. The entrance porch opens to the private hallway, which has pitch pine floorboards. 'Family Silver' by Mulberry Imperial lines the walls above the above elegant wainscotting. The beautiful staircase lies directly ahead with a fine mahogany handrail. The ground floor rooms work on a circular plan and lead to one another effortlessly. At the right of the hall is the library. Here, custom-built bookshelves in a classical design line the walls and a fire is set in the open hearth, with a wood-panelled surround to complement the joinery. The dining room is on the left of the hall, with a wonderful clear vista to the garden terrace beyond. This leads through narrow French windows to the drawing room, which opens onto the terrace. The dining room has contemporary wainscotting in a simple design and a working fire set in the open hearth. More wide-set French windows open to the next-door kitchen. The drawing room is a wonderfully light room, with windows at its south and west aspects, while French windows provide access to the garden terrace. The centrepiece of this expansive room is a 19th-century stone fireplace skillfully crafted in France to replicate an exquisite 18th-century design. An 18th-century English log basket is inset. The room is carpeted in beautiful deep pile cream wool. The kitchen is off the dining room, with added access from the back hall. Limestone flags run underfoot, and more French windows open to the garden. Here, Plain English Design kitchen cabinetry painted in Paper and Paint Library's 'Lead' colour rest beneath black granite worktops. A central island unit on legs in the traditional country house style complements a five-door black enamel Aga stove, which has an antique wooden bacon rack above. Along one wall are further cupboards with hardy Iroko wood acting as a worksurface, and a bespoke slate butler sink is inset with a chrome cross-head mixer tap. The dishwasher is integrated, and an open shelf is set above for glassware and storage jars. A further fitted dresser is positioned to the rear of the room; built in a similar design by Guy Sturgess of Quantock Woodworks, it is home to an integrated fridge-freezer. There is also room for a kitchen table beside the window. The service area comprises the back hall, a separate scullery with further plentiful Plain English Design cabinetry, a larder with slate shelves, a boot room with flower cupboard, a washroom and the boiler room. Reclaimed pamment tiles have been used underfoot and unify these most useable of spaces. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a shower room, and the capacious principal bedroom suite, which encompasses the whole west range of this floor. A large dressing room has a wall of panelled fitted wardrobes and is papered in 'Bowood', a Colefax and Fowler design. It adjoins the en suite bathroom, which has a claw-foot roll-top bath positioned centrally and Aston Matthews chrome-plated brassware with a traditional shower attachment. A wall of shallow storage cupboards is set into the butt-and-bead panelling. Separate open shoe shelves have been ingeniously conceived and built by Plain English Design. The double sinks are set in a vanity unit upon legs, with wonderful views of the rear garden. Opening from the dressing room above the drawing room, the sleeping quarters are exceptionally spacious. Two west-facing windows and a south-facing window allow a gentle light into the room. The landing space on the first floor is very generous, with a window set at its end looking out to the entrance to the park. This area was once home to a bathroom and could be reconfigured as such again if required. The second floor is home to three further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The bedroom set in the rear has been configured as a study and library, with bespoke bookshelves and cupboards designed by Brian Haward. The ceiling height is excellent, and the joinery almost reaches the top, with wonderful classical architraves and butt-and-bead backings. Windows in both north and east aspects make it a lovely room to work in the mornings. The central landing with extensive partially boarded loft space above opens to a further bedroom, while the bathroom is positioned at the front of the plan. It employs more butt-and-bead panelling on walls, and chrome-plated brassware is also by Aston Matthews. The bath also has a shower attachment, and the oval ceramic pedestal sink is reclaimed from the old Savoy Hotel. The largest bedroom on this floor is a large bipartite room with wide set wedding doors allowing either part to be closed off for convenience, possibly for use as a dressing area or for an infant. Windows are set at both north and south aspects, flooding the room with light. The Great Outdoors The gardens at The Gate House envelop the house and feel immensely secluded. They have a private entrance gate to Windsor Great Park with the open deer park near the rear, seen clearly through estate fencing. York stone terraces wrap around the northern and western elevations, facing the park. The French kitchen windows open to the primary terrace, which leads to a verdant lawn bound by willow fencing and mature trees and shrubs. A tall yew hedge separates this section of the garden from the western range of the grounds, which have for many years been held on a Crown License. Mature trees surround the spacious lawn, and the deer can be seen through the greenery. To the west of the house is the secondary York stone terrace. Opening from the drawing room's French windows, it is a wonderful place for drinks in warmer months. It overlooks a further immaculate lawn bound by deep flower beds. A stunning iron serpentine pergola wreathed in pale lilac wisteria leads through a pebble-laid path to the private entrance gate to the parkland beyond. As part of the current Crown License condition, the King commands the tenant to 'tend and cherish' the wisteria. It is believed Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, often stopped to check up on the flowering and general health of the plant on her way home to Royal Lodge, directly passing The Gate House. Additionally to the beautiful gardens, there is a detached garage with a slate tiled pitch roof at the end of the driveway, with a spiral wine cellar underneath offering a 1,800-bottle capacity. Electricity and plumbing have also been installed for convenience, and entry is both directly through the garage's wooden double doors from the driveway and a side entry door from the rear garden terrace. A potting shed with a glass pitch roof is to the side of the garage, facing the garden.

Great Tangley Manor, which is listed Grade I, is described by Pevsner in The Buildings of England as 'the most impressive of Surrey's moderate collection of half-timbered houses.' It is thought to be the UK's oldest continuously inhabited house.Since 1947, Great Tangley Manor has been owned by 4 different families. The current owners have carefully and sympathetically upgraded aspects of the property, the most notable change being the addition of a 'glass box' extension, which won the New Building's Category of the Waverley Design Awards in 2007. Equal consideration has been given to the preservation of the fabulous gardens that surround the Manor and contribute to the majesty of its setting.The current owners purchased Great Tangley Manor in two stages as the property had been divided into two wings, under separate titles namely; Great Tangley Manor and Great Tangley Manor West. Understandably, they could not pass up the opportunity to unite the two sides under their ownership and restore the property's original 'manor' house status. The two sides also afforded the opportunity for an income as a luxury holiday let venue, further information about this can be provided on request. The considerable reception space and bedroom accommodation extends to approximately 11,255 square feet and lends itself to numerous lifestyle options for incoming buyers.Until recently, the wing referred to as Great Tangley Manor West, has been used primarily as a holiday letting venue and has mixed use Class C3 and Class D2. It has an independent entrance, three magnificent reception spaces, a kitchen, study, cloakroom, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which is en suite. One of the bedroom suites also benefits from a dressing room and one of the bathrooms is of original Art Deco design. Two ground floor reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy an extension that was built by Philip Webb whilst the further reception room, two bedrooms and bathroom are situated in a ground floor extension added in the 1960's.The adjacent wing, Great Tangley Manor, has been occupied by the current owners as a family home and has three fabulous principal reception spaces in the reception hall, drawing room and dining room. This wing has access to the 40ft indoor heated pool, sauna and office. At first floor level there are five bedrooms, two dressing rooms and three bath/shower rooms. Over the centuries, the different architectural and interior styles have been successfully married to create the wonderfully characterful property that exists today. The medieval meets Arts and Crafts arrangement affords surprisingly generous room proportions and ceiling heights throughout.Whilst the property as a whole presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of architectural history that functions as a comfortable family home, the capacity for separate living and accommodation spaces could also suit an incoming buyer with multi generational living requirements or with designs for letting one or more parts of the property, subject to any necessary consents. The present owners have advertised the property as a corporate event/meeting space and sporting (ie yoga) retreat. Great Tangley Manor has been used as a location for film and television purposes on a number of occasions.The current owners have carried out extensive works to the property including; exterior decoration, electrical upgrades, installation of a wood pellet heating system, installation of 3 electric car charging points, drive re-surfacing, dredging the lake, re-building the Tennis Hut and adding estate fencing. There is a monitored alarm system. The study and garage adjacent to the boiler room both benefit from air conditioning.The structure of the present gardens was devised by Wickham Flower at the end of the 19th century. It was recorded as being one of the most progressive gardens of the 1880s. Characteristic of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the integration of house and garden is at the centre of the design, with the house spilling out into the garden in a series of out-door rooms. The present owners have tried to recreate the garden as it has been described in late 1880s with a contemporary twist for modern day living. The walled garden and formal lawn to the South West epitomise the romantic English country garden with gloriously full borders, rich in texture and colour. The moat, which encircles the property is one of its most spectacular, defining features.Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds extend into a wilder, natural setting which features an array of important specimen trees. Of particular note is the King John Oak and a magnificent tulip tree. There are plenty of places to sit to listen to the bird song or sound of cascading water. The lake hosts an abundance of wild life and is surrounded by a variety of beautiful trees and planted with irises and bullrushes.

Exceptional location within the heart of the main island of the Wentworth Estate. The property, built approximately 20 years ago in 2004, was architecturally dramatic at its time and retains this dramatic look. The property has good ceiling heights, underfloor heating, some air conditioning and a large indoor pool flooded with natural light. The property also benefits from planning consent allowing further ground and first-floor extension, which would further complement the already extremely positive accommodation.The grounds are a particular feature of the property, with privacy being key. From the entrance gate, you get a glimpse of the house, and it opens to a winding driveway leading to a large circular approach, which in turn leads to a parking area to the side, garaging and staff accommodation. The rear gardens, which face west, are mature and interesting, with a tennis court, feature ponds with fountains, a koi carp pond and a variety of formal gardens and lawned areas, together with lightly wooded feature areas.The property backs the Wellington Golf Club, thus having no properties directly behind. Being on Portnall Rise, you are central to the Wentworth main island and a short distance from the club with all the sporting and social benefits that it provides.Being on Portnall Rise you are central to the Wentworth main island and a short distance from the club with all the sporting and social benefits that it provides. Location The prestigious Wentworth Estate extends to around 1,750 acres and dates back to the early 1920s when the rural dream of developer W J Tarrant became a reality, creating large houses in beautiful mature gardens surrounding the golf course. Lying within the green belt, the Wentworth Estate is now a sanctuary of impressive houses on quiet roads surrounded by three 18-hole championship golf courses and a 9-hole executive course. The Wentworth Club, situated in the middle of the estate, is world-renowned and has recently been the subject of a major renovation programme offering swimming pools, tennis courts, a health and leisure club, as well as superb dining.Tenure: FreeholdLocal Authority: Surrey County CouncilCouncil Tax Band: HEPC Rating: C77 For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_wentworth-estate-d546820/for-sale_i71332854
