Braywood House Estate

Welcome to Braywood House Estate.

Dating back to about 1860 and formerly a vicarage, Braywood House and the adjoining church (now demolished) were built by the architect Talbot Bury for the then Belgian Ambassador, Jean Van de Weyer and his wife. Braywood House is a charming country house occupying an enviable and unique position on the edge of Windsor Forest, and stands in wonderful secluded grounds with far-reaching and picturesque views.

This sensational house is constructed of flint and Bath stone and offers elegant and stylish living space with many interesting and period features including high ceiling and open fireplaces, together with a number of shuttered windows.

Stone steps under a gabled porch lead to a heavy wooden door with glazed panels, that opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hall with a fireplace and high ceilings. Leading off the hall are two generous reception rooms, both with shuttered windows into deep bays and Adams style fireplaces; the sitting room has the added feature of a wood-burning stove fitted.

The first floor accommodation is arranged two provide four good-sized double bedrooms including a well-appointed master bedroom with superb views over open countryside and an en suite bathroom. There is an additional family bathroom and a store room.

Braywood House Estate enjoys a rural setting at the western end of Windsor Forest, yet is well placed for the motorway network and local shopping facilities. There are excellent shopping, leisure and recreational facilities available at Windsor, where there are regular train services to London Waterloo and London Paddington, via Slough.
