Around you
The good stuff within reach.
Persimmon House is on the quieter, greener side of Maidenhead. That means a short cycle to the shops rather than a short walk, but it also means parks, playing fields, good schools and the arts centre on your doorstep.
Norden Farm Centre for the Arts
Theatre, live music, comedy, film and a courtyard café in a converted farmstead on Altwood Road.
Vanwall Business Park
Home to global names in pharmaceuticals, technology and consumer brands. For some residents the commute will be a two-minute walk.
Ockwells Park
A large country park with meadows, woodland walks, a café and a playground, beside the 15th-century Ockwells Manor.
Braywick Park & Leisure Centre

The Thames riverside
Brunel's railway bridge, Boulter's Lock, Ray Mill Island and the towpath to Cookham and Cliveden Reach.
Bray
The Waterside Inn, The Fat Duck and The Hinds Head: more Michelin stars than most cities, plus the Thames, a cricket green and cosy pubs.
