Property Description
Location
Lex House is situated in a prestigious location on the River Thames between Maidenhead and the neighbouring picturesque village of Bray, renowned for its cosy English pubs and array of Michelin-starred restaurants including the Fat Duck and Waterside Inn, which can be accessed via boat. Also accessible by boat or road in approximately ten minutes is the newly opened Soho River House members’ club. There is a range of cafes, bars and restaurants accessible locally, primarily centred around the regenerated Waterside Quarter in Maidenhead. Sporting and leisure facilities in the area include golf at Maidenhead, Taplow, Marlow, Cookham and Henley; horse racing at Windsor and Ascot; riding, walking and polo in Windsor Great Park; further beautiful walks at Cliveden and Basildon Park; flying at White Waltham; boating on the River Thames. There are tennis courts and a cricket club within the village of Bray.
Road communications are excellent, with the M4 (J8/9) providing access to Heathrow Airport, London, the West Country and the M25. Maidenhead station is close by with fast rail connections (in approx. 20 minutes at peak times) to London (Paddington) and the Elizabeth Line with regular services to the West End, City and Canary Wharf. Schooling locally includes a variety of well-regarded private and state schools, including Claires Court in Maidenhead, Herries in Cookham Dean, St George’s Windsor Castle, Sir William Borlase Grammar, Lambrook in Winkfield Row, Papplewick and St Mary’s in Ascot and Eton College.
Description
Enjoying a wonderful position in this premier location, Lex House is believed to date from about 1910 and is a lovely example of the Tudor Revival style which was so popular in Edwardian times. Retaining many of its original features, the house exhibits the character of the era including exposed beams, wall panelling, solid wood floors, ceiling roses and plasterwork together with original fireplaces. Now requiring some sympathetic modernisation, the property poses a fantastic opportunity for the new owner to personalise it to their own taste.
The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout and is arranged over three floors. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule with a further door opening into the elegant panelled reception hall. Three main reception rooms overlook the rear garden towards the river and the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room links to the dining room. To the rear of the house, with a separate entrance, are located a games room and a playroom with en suite bathroom, which could be used as accommodation for a guest or an au pair.
Upstairs the principal suite on the first floor features the main bedroom, two balconies, dressing room and en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en suite, and a utility/laundry room. The second floor features two bedrooms, a family bathroom and access to extensive eaves storage space.
Lex House occupies lovely grounds of almost three quarters of an acre adjoining the River Thames. The house features an impressive carriage driveway with excellent parking and lawned area to the front of the property, bordered by mature trees and shrubs.
The stunning rear garden enjoys wonderful uninterrupted views over the river. It features a terrace adjoining the back of the house, ideal for alfresco dining, with a wide expanse of lawn beyond. The highlight is of course the private mooring on the waterfront.
