New Windsor homes near Harry and Meghan’s cottage


With its royal connections and pretty riverside location, well-to-do Windsor seems a planet away from Thames-side regeneration zones 20 miles away.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen to live in Windsor ahead of the birth of their first child in April, opting for Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate rather than the castle, the world’s oldest and largest occupied fortress, which looms over the town.

Local planners have resisted flashy Docklands-style apartment schemes and are more comfortable with traditional-style new housing on the town’s fringe.

Orchard Lea fits into this category. Set in mature grounds opposite Windsor Great Park, a 19th-century manor house has been split into four tasteful townhouses, while a block of 20 large apartments (up to 2,741sq ft) has been built alongside.

The houses range up to 3,494sq ft and have comfortable interiors in keeping with the heritage architecture.

Prices from £1,750,000. Apartments start at £995,000. More info from Newcourt Residential.
