The Queen's Gambit

The Queen's Gambit: Surrey

Idyllic village life is on your doorstep at this stylish apartment set within an intimate development fringing the oh-so-pretty village of Englefield Green. With a charming village green fringed by bustling shops, cafes and pubs, it's easy to see why the village was recently voted one of the nicest places to live in the UK. Discover Windsor Great Park and Virginia Water (just a short walk away) when it's time to stretch your legs. Or, for a hefty dose of history and grandeur, blaze a trail to Windsor and Ascot (both under a fifteen-minute drive away).

Back home, you'll love this apartment's sophisticated, neutral décor. Newly built and contemporary, there's a boutique-hotel feel to the bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom. And we love the open-plan living space with dual-aspect windows flooding the home with natural daylight. Rustle up drinks and nibbles and curl up on that dangerously-sinkable velvet sofa. You could elevate things and test your resolve with the home's chess set. Though a good book might be all the entertainment you need.
