luxury contemporary house for sale Hook, United Kingdom

Set on the edge of Windsor Great Park amid more than 25 acres of parkland gardens, this magnificent nine-bedroom mansion offers one of Ascot’s most remarkable settings.

The house unfolds through an impressive entrance hall and galleried reception hall that introduce the home’s scale and symmetry. A series of elegant rooms flow from here: a dual-aspect drawing room with open fireplace, a formal dining room with French doors to the terrace, a panelled office, and a snooker hall. The kitchen and breakfast room centre around a double gas oven, with utility and cloakrooms discreetly positioned nearby. A connecting corridor leads to the wellness suite, which includes a full spa and leisure wing with gym, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and changing rooms, all overlooking manicured lawns and ornamental lakes.

The estate also includes a secluded tennis court, a double garage and outbuildings with additional storage. The landscaped grounds are extraordinary: sweeping lawns, mature woodland, formal gardens and Japanese-inspired planting surround two tranquil lakes, home to resident swans that have given rise to the estate’s affectionate name, Swan Lake. The result is a setting of exceptional privacy and beauty, a true sanctuary just moments from Ascot High Street. The location combines rural countryside quiet with world-class amenities. The area is synonymous with prestige: Wentworth, Sunningdale and The Berkshire golf clubs are close by, as are polo at Smith’s Lawn and The Royal Berkshire Polo Club. Windsor Great Park provides miles of riding and walking trails, and schooling options are among the finest in the country, including Eton College, Papplewick, St Mary’s, St George’s, Heathfield and the ACS and TASIS international schools.
