The library at The Old Vicarage at Winkfield, near Windsor, with its handsome fireplace, panelling and shelving, is not the only feature of note; the drawing and dining rooms have large picture windows looking over the eight-acre grounds—home to a magnificent cedar, swimming pool, paddocks and tennis court—and there’s also a wine cellar.
Seven bedrooms occupy the main house, including a 30ft master with en-suite bathroom. Further accommodation is found in a one-bedroom staff flat and three-bedroom guest annexe; outbuildings include a vine house.
The Old Vicarage is currently on the market via Savills with a guide price of £4.95 million — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.
