Full property description
This wonderful character home has been in the current family’s ownership since 1958, a testament to the area and property itself. Occupying a plot of around 1/3 acre, this former stable block and coach house offers more than 2,000 square feet of accommodation. Retaining many of the features of the time, this property would make a wonderful family home and would benefit from being sympathetically renovated and remodelled. Other features of this semi-detached property include a landscaped wrap-around garden offering a great degree of privacy, a separate private front garden (traditionally set out as an orchard and vegetable garden), a charming beamed master bedroom with rural views, south facing dining room and a large double-height living room with retained art-deco fireplace. The dining room and the living room let directly onto the large sunny main garden. There is no onward chain.

The Drive is a quiet residential road in the village of Wraysbury, a vibrant community served by a popular primary school, local pubs and cafes, St Andrews Church, a supermarket and other useful shops. Wraysbury has a village hall and a village green with an active cricket club and sailing on nearby reservoirs. There are two train stations (Sunnymeads and Wraysbury) where daily services are available to stations including London Waterloo and Windsor & Eton Riverside. The house is only a 10 minute walk from Sunnymeads Station.
Pine Tree Cottage was once the stable block and coach house serving the mansion house Remenham House, which dates back to the 1880s. It is thought that the building originally comprised a combination of carriage storage, stables, tack rooms, hay lofts, and staff accommodation. The upper floor may have been used for storing hay or as living quarters for coachmen and grooms.
In 1928, the stable block and coach house were sold separately from the estate and converted into two comfortable family homes. The conversion has resulted in generous and bright entertaining space. There is a spacious entrance hall, a bright dining room and a large double-height living room. What is now the living room and also the present garage would once have housed horses and coaches. The impressive high ceilings in these very ample rooms are a reminder of their original purpose.
