"SELLER INSIGHT"
‘Nestled in a place of great historical significance, Runnymede House offers a unique blend of charm and convenience. Located just 15 miles from the outskirts of London and 8.5 miles from Heathrow, Runnymede House is perfectly situated for both city access and serene countryside living. It is a mere 3.4 mile drive to Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park and adjacent to the Kennedy Memorial
and the River Thames.

'Runnymede is famously known as the site where the Magna Carta was signed. This area was inhabited by the English Royal family for centuries up until Windsor Castle was built. Imagine strolling along one of the most enchanting walks beside the River Thames, where history and nature intertwine seamlessly. In the 1920s King George V and Queen Mary would take their boat along the Thames from Windsor Castle to visit their friends at Runnymede House'.

'During the current owner's tenure, weekends at Runnymede House were legendary, with guests flocking to enjoy tennis, swimming and croquet, in tree lined gardens or enjoying the beautifully designed spaces within the house. Although the past decade has seen quieter times, Runnymede House is now poised for a new family to breathe life back into its storied halls. The floor plan and layout are very functional allowing for privacy and plenty of room for social gatherings. Therefore, renovation does not require much internal reorganisation. The detail and craftsmanship of the crown mouldings, doorways, trim, and baseboards are made with top notch materials which would be expensive and difficult (if not impossible) to replicate today'.
