5 Bedroom Detached House

Windy How is a beautiful Edwardian family home, positioned prominently on a corner plot just minutes from the town centre, railway station, and excellent local schools. Constructed in 1911 and offered to the market chain free, this fine residence has been lovingly maintained and cherished by the current owners for over 25 years.

with modern family living. A major feature is the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, boasting a vaulted ceiling, large skylight, underfloor heating, integrated ceiling speakers, and French doors to the garden.

The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to three areas: a front-to-back lounge with a cozy gas fireplace and garden access; a bright, dual-aspect formal dining room with stone fireplace. To the rear, the expansive kitchen/breakfast room serves as the heart of the home, complete with bespoke cabinetry, a breakfast bar, wood-burning stove, and a separate utility room leading to a character cloakroom/WC. Comfort is supported by a modern gas boiler installed just a year ago.

A sweeping staircase rises to the first floor, which hosts three double bedrooms. The principal suite features a wide bay window and an en suite shower room. Bedroom two is triple-aspect, opening onto a west-facing roof terrace. A family bathroom and separate shower room, both with underfloor heating, complete this level.

The staircase continues to the second floor, revealing two further bedrooms, a third bathroom, and deep walk-in storage. Notably, this top floor is an original feature of the 1911 build rather than a later loft conversion, and the entire roof was comprehensively overhauled last year.

Gardens and Grounds

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway from Sandelswood End, offering parking for up to four or five vehicles and access to the attached garage. The front garden features an expansive lawn, mature trees, and a gated pathway to Ledborough Lane for an easy walk to the mainline station and New Town amenities.

The secluded, landscaped rear garden is an idyllic space wrapped in high hedging, offering an terrace, raised vegetable beds, a wood store, two sheds, and a period wrought-iron spiral staircase returning to the roof terrace.
