The Annex

About this property

The Annex is a pleasing first-floor self-contained apartment nestled in Datchet, Berkshire. Ideal for two couples, friends or small families, this abode features an open-plan design and proximity to the River Thames and local amenities. Pull up on the driveway if you arrive by car, or take a short stroll from the railway station to your new abode. Upon entering, slip off your coat and shoes in the hallway before ascending the stairs. Walk across the wooden flooring of the stylish, light‑filled open‑plan living space, where a well‑equipped kitchen sits neatly alongside a dining area and a homely sitting space. French doors with a Juliette balcony that floods the room with natural light, offering the chance to bring a little of the outdoors in.

Store treats in the fridge/freezer for your stay, make yourself a cuppa using the 3 in 1 instant boiling water from the tap, roll out fresh pastries across the quartz granite worktops and make use of the electric oven and hob as the day begins. Sleek white units frame the space, setting the scene for slow breakfasts or indulgent feasts. Pull out a chair as the scent of home‑cooked food mingles with the warmth of shared moments around the dining table. Once dinner is done, pop the dishes into the dishwasher, then sink into the L‑shaped sofa and enjoy a relaxed film night, with the Smart TV ready and waiting.

When it’s time to turn in, retreat to the inviting double bedroom, where built‑in storage keeps things neat and clutter‑free. A dressing table and wardrobe provide space to unpack and unwind, while the en‑suite shower room features a walk‑in shower, basin and WC for added privacy. There’s also a second shower room, complete with a walk‑in shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail, ideal for refreshing mornings or unhurried evenings. A handy utility area takes care of practicalities, leaving you free to settle in and slow the pace. Step outside to the front and claim a seat on the small patio, where a table and chairs offer a quiet spot for morning coffee, a catch‑up over drinks, or a moment to watch the world pass by before heading out to explore.

In the morning, stretch your legs on a stroll along the riverbank of the River Thames, watch boats drift past at an unhurried pace, and sit awhile as the water moves quietly by. Visit Windsor Castle and spend the day wandering through rooms filled with history, walking beneath high stone walls that have stood for centuries, and pausing in the grounds to take in views across the town. Take a trip to LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort and spend the day wandering themed lands, enjoying family‑friendly rides and watching tiny cities come to life, brick by brick. Or visit Thorpe Park to experience over 30 thrilling rides and family attractions.

After an adventure-filled day, return to The Annex and unwind.
