4 bed detached house for sale

Altwood Road, Maidenhead SL6

A beautifully renovated and impeccably maintained four-bedroom detached family home, positioned on one of Maidenhead’s most sought-after leafy roads. Combining elegant contemporary interiors with warmth, charm and exceptional natural light, this handsome double-fronted character home offers stylish modern living alongside timeless period appeal.

Set behind electric gates with driveway parking for four to five cars and an integral garage, the property immediately impresses with its attractive symmetrical façade, sash windows and outstanding kerb appeal. Internally, the house has been thoughtfully updated with a contemporary Scandi-inspired aesthetic while carefully retaining its original charm and character features throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to a versatile separate reception room, currently used as a study/snug, ideal for home working, playroom or additional family living space. The heart of the home is the stunning triple-aspect reception and dining room which stretches from front to back, flooded with natural light throughout the day and centred around a charming wood-burning stove. Recently installed aluminium bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the landscaped rear garden, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living and entertaining space.

The separate kitchen is equally impressive, featuring a beautiful exposed beam, informal seating and dining space, and double doors opening directly onto the garden. Garden views are a particular feature from both the kitchen and main reception room, with the owners enjoying a wonderful connection to the outside throughout the seasons. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the spacious first-floor landing is beautifully illuminated by the home’s striking arched feature window, perfectly framing views over the mature rear garden and creating one of the property’s most memorable architectural moments. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite to the principal bedroom, which also benefits from extensive fitted storage and a cleverly designed laundry cupboard. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office but has equally served as a nursery, dressing room and guest bedroom, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and is wonderfully mature, tranquil and not overlooked. Two separate patio areas allow owners to enjoy both sun and shade throughout the day, including a raised sun-trap terrace ideal for entertaining. The rear section of the garage offers excellent additional storage and exciting potential for an outdoor kitchen, utility or lifestyle space, with plumbing and services already in place.

The Seller Says

“We fell in love with this home the moment we saw it. From the pretty double-fronted façade and sash windows to the beautiful arched landing window framing the garden, the house immediately felt warm, welcoming and full of character. Over the past 20 years it has adapted perfectly through every stage of our lives - from an engaged couple, to raising our son here, entertaining friends and family, and creating spaces to work from home. The house has such wonderful natural light throughout the day, especially in the triple-aspect lounge where the bi-fold doors open straight onto the garden in the summer, while the wood burner makes winter evenings and Christmases feel incredibly cosy.”

“One of the things we will miss most is the lifestyle this location offers. Altwood Road is such a beautiful, leafy and peaceful road, yet everything is close by - wonderful schools, woodland walks, cafés, pubs, Norden Farm Arts Centre and excellent transport links into London. The garden has always felt incredibly tranquil and private, with sunny spots to enjoy at every time of day, and the house itself has always felt manageable, flexible and easy to live in. It truly feels like a home rather than just a house, and we hope the next owners will love it as much as we have.”
