Description

This distinctive period residence, part of an elegant character building, presents a unique opportunity for complete refurbishment. Located near the River Thames and Maidenhead town centre, this property occupies a substantial area, offering approximately 1,971 sq ft of versatile accommodation along with a separate studio and a large outbuilding. The South Wing of The Georgian House features a magnificent first-floor sitting room with a vaulted timber ceiling and an impressive arched window that floods the space with natural light. The home combines period charm with excellent flexibility, including two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a kitchen. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the gardens, while the second bedroom serves as guest accommodation. The separate studio is ideal for home working or creative pursuits. The gardens offer a delightful outdoor setting with ample privacy and potential for further landscaping. A sheltered terrace adjacent to the property is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. Additionally, there is off-street driveway parking and a large double garage/squash court, which also holds renovation potential, subject to planning permissions. Boulters Lock, known for its scenic riverside walks and gardens, is just 0.28 miles away. Maidenhead town centre provides a variety of shopping and leisure facilities, while nearby towns like Windsor and Marlow offer further amenities. The area boasts excellent sporting and recreational facilities, including golf courses and rowing clubs. Rail services to London (Paddington) are accessible from both Taplow and Maidenhead, with journey times starting from 20 minutes at peak times. The property is also close to several highly regarded schools, making it an attractive option for families. This home offers an exceptional chance to reimagine and create a truly outstanding residence in a desirable setting.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £695,000, this 1,971 sq ft period home is priced at about £353/sq ft, around 31% below the local average—an unusually attractive entry point for a substantial property in a sought-after riverside setting near Maidenhead town centre. Its standout is the vaulted sitting room, with timber ceiling, fireplace and arched window, alongside mature grounds, a separate studio and a large outbuilding. The main building looks broadly intact in the available views, while the interiors offer plenty of scope to reshape and renew.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh worn finishes to create a more cohesive home around the characterful vaulted sitting room.
  • Make the most of the separate studio and large outbuilding, with scope to improve their usefulness alongside the main house.
  • Enhance the established, private-feeling garden and terrace while retaining its mature trees and shrubs.

Key risks

  • The £65,000–£115,000 works range and the worn interiors, local plaster damage and weathered outbuilding roof point to a substantial, multi-part programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
