4 bed semi-detached house for sale

River Road, Maidenhead SL6

A rare opportunity to own a delightful character home on the most exclusive private road in Taplow along the River Thames.

Lattice Cottage is a three-storey 1930s Cotswold stone home full of character that has been renovated with modern touches. Of particular note is the stone exterior and the wonderfully high ceilings throughout, with large windows and a south-facing aspect creating a bright and welcoming interior.

Located by the banks of the River Thames, down a private cul-de-sac with the most beautiful entrance and a fully enclosed large private garden, the lane is shared with only seven other homes and no through road, making it very peaceful, private and friendly.

Gated Driveway

The gated driveway has space for three cars and is set on either side with a beautiful original 1930s Cotswold-stone raised flower bed with fountain and walled side garden. Looking out from the house you will see endless greenery surrounding the property.

First Floor

Originally a coach house, the first floor offers a vast open plan space converted with a modern touch whilst respecting the original architecture and exposed stone walls.

Across the front and back aspect there are bifold glass doors, opening fully to provide glorious indoor-outdoor living spaces. Also featured are the original wooden coach house doors that can be closed for complete privacy.

The living space boasts high ceilings throughout with large glass windows and flexibility for a range of layouts to suit your lifestyle.

The spacious kitchen has been designed to complement the original exposed Cotswold stone interiors, and doubles as an entertaining area with breakfast bar and seating.

At the back, a private courtyard is partially covered with a domed roof light, providing an al fresco dining area, where you will find the original stone rear gateway, currently used for garden storage.
