Homes in Maidenhead
Maidenhead has Victorian and Edwardian houses near the town centre and Boyne Hill, and interwar and post-war homes in Furze Platt and Cox Green. Bray and Holyport have older village houses.
The town centre has been redeveloped with new apartments, helped by the Elizabeth line. Maidenhead lies on the Thames flood plain, and the Jubilee River was built to reduce flood risk. Riverside properties remain at risk. Prices are high by Berkshire standards, driven by the Elizabeth line and fast trains to London. Many older Victorian and Edwardian houses have been extended or altered. Bray and Holyport have some of the area's most sought-after homes. Pinkneys Green has larger homes near the National Trust commons. Some riverside homes have moorings and boathouses, which bring their own maintenance issues.
Areas we cover include Maidenhead Town, Furze Platt, Cox Green, Pinkneys Green, Boyne Hill, Bray, Holyport, Woodlands Park.
