Bray - Characterful 3 Bedroom House - By The River

Summary:

Bettoney Vere, in its central Bray location, is a charming little terraced property which is far larger than you might initially think.



The Space:

Step behind the Tudor-style frontage and you’ll find plenty of space to spread out, with a generous sitting room leading through to an open-plan kitchen and dining area, plus a second sitting room overlooking the garden. There’s also a utility room and downstairs loo — because with a full house, an extra loo is always worth celebrating.



Upstairs, the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes, its own en-suite bathroom and a king-size bed that can be split into twins if required. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath, giving families, friends or colleagues plenty of room to make themselves at home.

Now for a little expectation management: this is a charming, lived-in home rather than a shiny new show home. It’s been welcoming guests for a while, so you’ll find the odd scuff, mark and imperfection here and there. It may not be pristine, but it has plenty of character, comfy beds, lashings of hot water, Wi-Fi and a properly equipped kitchen — all the important ingredients for an easy short or longer stay.



Outside, there’s a pretty enclosed garden with a patio, ideal for children, pets and those rare glorious British afternoons. Please note that there is no parking at the property itself. On-street parking can be found a short walk away, so you may need to drop off the bags first before finding the car its temporary home.



And then there’s Bray itself. This lovely Thames-side village is famous for its food scene, pretty walks and village atmosphere, while Maidenhead and Windsor are within easy reach. It’s a great spot for exploring the Thames, discovering neighbouring villages or simply finding a good pub and deciding you’ve explored enough for one day.



Once your reservation is confirmed, Smarter Rent will ask for a copy of your ID and for you to sign our House Rules. Then it’s time to unpack, embrace the odd imperfection and make this characterful Bray house your home for a while.



Guest Access:

You have the run of the entire house and garden.
