There is a magical quality to Monks Alley, a timelessly elegant Berkshire home and a property-renovator’s dream which is currently on the market through Knight Frank at a guide price of £2,850,000.
Set in 6.55 acres of garden and woodland, Monks Alley is a quietly spectacular home from a past era of elegance, when tea was taken on the lawn and when guests came to stay they would stay for a month at a time.
The proportions of the reception hall (41’2” x 29’6”) and the drawing room 32’ x 15’5”) are indicative of a home that was designed for entertaining. In fact, the property has evolved over the years and it presents further opportunities to continue that process. The reception hall has expanses of magnificent limed oak panelling and a parquet floor and the drawing room and library/study have doors opening onto the terrace and gardens.
The property has, in addition, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, larder and store, cellar, master bedroom suite, a further bedroom suite and five further bedrooms. In addition, a two bedroom cottage, outbuildings, log store, swimming pool and an all weather tennis court. The approximate floor area of the main house is 6,081 sq ft, the garage and cellar comprises 775 sq ft and the cottage is 1,076 sq ft.
Monks Alley, Binfield, is approached from a country lane and the village is conveniently close to Ascot, Bracknell and the M4.
