A SIX-bed mansion on the edge of Windsor Great Park, which is the former home of Warrington-born Chris Evans, is on the market for £4 million.
The three-storey property, known as The Gate House, is an ‘exquisite’ Grade II-listed detached Georgian red brick house.
It is located on Bishopgate Road, two miles south of Windsor.
Radio and TV presenter Chris, from Padgate, previously rented the home for around two years.
Inside, the accommodation extends to almost 3,500 sq ft.
An entrance porch leads to a private hallway. Here, a library with custom-built bookshelves can be found as well as a dining room with a ‘wonderful, clear vista’ to the garden terrace beyond.
There is a drawing room, a kitchen, and a service area.
On the first floor are two bedrooms and a shower room as well as a ‘capacious’ bedroom suite which encompasses the whole west range of the floor. And there is a large dressing room and ensuite bathroom.
The second floor is home to free further bedrooms and an additional bathroom.
Outside the property, the gardens ‘envelop’ the house and feel immensely secluded.
They have a private entrance gate to Windsor Great Park with the open deer park near the rear.
To the west of the home is a secondary York stone terrace that overlooks an immaculate lawn.
The listing by estate agents Inigo reads: "As part of the current Crown License condition, the King commands the tenant to ‘tend and cherish’ the wisteria.
"It is believed Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, often stopped to check up on the flowering and general health of the plant on her way home to Royal Lodge, directly passing The Gate House."
And in addition to the gardens, there is a detached garage with a spiral wine cellar underneath offering a 1,800-bottle capacity.
Royal Lodge is the home’s immediate neighbour.
This is where Prince Andrew resides and it is believed that in 2003, he signed a 75-year lease on the Royal Lodge.
The property is listed for £4,000,000.
