SMEWINS FARMHOUSE
Description
A charming Edwardian farmhouse which enjoys delightful views across the adjoining countryside. This attractive family home provides substantial living accommodation and has retained and incorporated many character features such as original fireplaces plus cornicing and decorative ceiling roses. The property benefits from both master and guest suites and has been generously extended to provide bright and pleasant rooms throughout that take full advantage of the surrounding grounds which extend to approximately 1.6 acres.
Smewins Farmhouse is situated between the rural villages of White Waltham and Waltham St Lawrence approximately 8 miles from historic Windsor. The village of Bray is also only a short drive away which offers two world-renowned restaurants, as is Henley-on-Thames, home to the famous Henley Royal Regatta. London can be easily accessed via the M4 or M40 motorways, and from the mainline railway stations at Twyford and Maidenhead (both 4 miles) into London Paddington. A wide variety of sporting facilities is available in the area, including polo at Smith's Lawn and The Berkshire Polo Club, golf at nearby Castle Royal and The Royal Berkshire, racing at Ascot and Windsor and boating on the River Thames.
