DESCRIPTION: The Old
Woodclyffe is a rare example of a fine mid-Victorian property built in 1873 by Harriet Cook Smith who was Florence Nightingale ’ s
Aunt and a great local benefactress. The property is resplendent; retaining many of its original features such as the magnificent hand carved staircase, oval shuttered solarium, Fernery and cornicing.
The house offers elegant accommodation that has been tastefully and subtly decorated by the current owners of over 30 years to combine today ’ s modern requirements with the elegance of the Victorian era.
The Old Woodclyffe is attached to a smaller neighbour and approached over a gravel driveway. Through double front doors with glazed side screens, into the magnificent staircase hall with polished geometric parquet floor and high ceilings, this entrance sets the standard for what lies beyond. The reception rooms are all of a good size, which gives real flexibility of use, especially noteworthy are the drawing room which has lovely views of the garden and the summer sitting room which was formerly the Billiards room.
The second floor offers great opportunity, with two attic rooms which could be readily converted to additional accommodation.

SITUATION: The Old Woodclyffe lies on the outskirts of Wargrave
Village high above the River
Thames with good travel links by both road and rail. The village has two well regarded schools with an excellent range of both state and independent schools locally. Wargrave train station is nearby and provides regular services to London Paddington
(via Twyford) within approximately 30 minutes.
As Crossrail now reaches its conclusion, it will soon be possible to travel from Twyford station directly to Heathrow and
East London (Canary Wharf), transforming city commuting.
The M4 is accessed at junction
8/9 for London and Heathrow.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS:
Approached over a shared drive terminating in a large gravel sweep to the front of the double garage; giving ample parking for several cars. The gardens of The
Old Woodclyffe lie to the rear of the house, where, beyond the paved terrace, lawns extend to the side of the house and to the edge of the woodland area.
Around the formal gardens are specimen trees and mature beds and borders. The grounds of
The Old Woodclyffe extend to approximately 4.6 acres and the woodland provides a haven for wildlife with a path that winds its way through the wooded area.
