The house includes a large paved terrace with ornamental koi pond, and the grounds include a separate two-bedroom cottage – which estate agents say has been ‘the subject of heavy tree damage’.

According to Historic England, the two-storey home is a small irregular stone house in ‘Norman’ style, with high pitched Welsh slate roofs and cylindrical stone chimneys.

Five miles from Windsor, the 3.73-acre land also comes with private moorings on the Thames, with over 400 metres of river frontage.
