4 Bed in Bray (oc-l32609)

Gather your loved ones for a memorable stay at this elegant cottage, nestled within a historic estate on a private island in the River Thames. Blending the charm of a period home with all the modern comforts you could desire, this stylish retreat is perfect for large families or groups of friends celebrating a special occasion in comfort and style. Spend your days exploring the area's rich heritage, perhaps a morning at the magnificent Windsor Castle (7 miles) or a leisurely afternoon wandering through the themed landscapes of The Savill Garden (11 miles). For those seeking a little adventure, Bray Lake Watersports and boat trips (3 miles) offers a fun escape, while nearby towns are brimming with independent boutiques, designer shops, inviting cafés, and charming spots just waiting to be discovered.

Step inside this exquisite riverside retreat and immediately feel its sense of grandeur - a home once graced by the great composer Edward Elgar, who is said to have written some of his most cherished works here. A generous entrance hall welcomes you into the heart of the home: a stylish, wraparound open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space designed for comfort, connection, and ease. Relax in one of two tastefully decorated lounges, where ornamental fireplaces and plush sofas create the perfect setting for quiet moments, conversations, or cosy evenings in. The sleek and well-equipped kitchen invites you to prepare delicious meals for your loved ones, while the spacious dining area offers a refined space to gather, share stories, and savour your favourite dishes. After dinner, retreat to the upstairs second lounge for a relaxing drink -or let the kids take over with board games and puzzles. Need to check in with work? A large, luxury office space provides everything required for a productive day, so you can stay connected without missing out on precious holiday moments. Upstairs, four beautifully styled bedrooms await: three with king-size beds and one twin, all featuring elegant en-suite bathrooms. One boasts a deep bathtub and separate walk-in shower, while the remaining three offer sleek shower rooms. Each comes complete with luxurious toiletries, fluffy robes, and soft slippers for that extra touch of indulgence.

Start your morning with a refreshing dip in the indoor pool, then step out into the private enclosed garden to unwind on a sun lounger and take in the sweeping views of the River Thames. Two private parking spaces are provided for your convenience.

When you're in the mood to dine out or enjoy a drink, the onsite restaurant and bar—with a decked terrace overlooking the River Thames—are just a short stroll away, perfect for a leisurely lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a sunset cocktail by the water.
