Discreetly positioned along the prestigious Wells Lane in Ascot, Maple House is an exceptional contemporary residence set behind electric timber gates and approached via a gravel driveway with generous parking and access to the integral garage. One of just a select collection of architect-designed homes completed in 2015/2016, this striking detached property delivers modern living across three beautifully appointed floors.

Occupying a peaceful, tucked-away setting with an open outlook, Maple House combines privacy and tranquillity with remarkable convenience central to Ascot's boutiques, restaurants and mainline station are all within easy reach.

Constructed to an exacting specification, the house immediately impresses with its bold red-brick faade, steel and glass balconies. A part living roof further enhances the home's architectural credentials, blending clean contemporary lines with environmental sensitivity.

Internally, the accommodation is bright, spacious and impeccably finished. The lower ground floor provides outstanding flexibility. Currently arranged as a bedroom with ensuite, utility room and integral double garage, this level was originally designed to accommodate a cinema room and could easily be reconfigured to suit a variety of requirements from leisure suite or studio to home office or potential annexe accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). Independent access enhances the versatility of this floor, making it ideal for multigenerational living or private workspace.

At entrance level, a light-filled reception hall sets a tone and connects seamlessly to the principal living areas. The formal sitting room is both sophisticated and inviting, featuring a fireplace and an impressive expanse of glazing that frames leafy views to the front. Designer finishes add depth and character, creating a luxurious yet comfortable setting for both quiet relaxation and formal entertaining. A separate study provides a well-proportioned and private space for home working.

To the rear lies the true heart of the home a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room designed for effortless modern living. High-gloss cabinetry, stone work surfaces and a central peninsula with breakfast bar combine style with practicality. Integrated appliances and considered storage solutions ensure the space functions as beautifully as it looks.

The dining and family areas flow naturally from the kitchen, culminating in bi-folding doors that open fully onto the rear terrace. This seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces creates an outstanding environment for entertaining, particularly during the summer months when the garden becomes an extension of the living area.

The redesigned rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped into three distinct terraced levels, offering both visual interest and practical entertaining zones. A generous terrace adjoins the house, ideal for al fresco dining, while areas of lawn, attractive planting and a water feature create a tranquil and private setting. The layout would readily accommodate the addition of a garden studio, should a future owner wish.

To the front, the expansive driveway provides ample parking alongside access to the integral garage.

The first floor hosts four beautifully proportioned bedrooms. Three benefit from contemporary en suite shower rooms, while the fourth is served by a stylish family bathroom.
