Nine Mile Ride, Finchampstead, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

AN OUTSTANDING HOME – We know the original builder who created this home very well, his reputation and passion and quality shines through here.

On arrival you can instantly see and feel the sturdiness of build and attention to detail. The electric gated entrance and established evergreen screening frames things beautifully. A vast driveway opens up and gives room for a growing family and guests to all park safe and securely.

Through and under the covered entrance porch and you land in a vast reception hall with your eyeline taken all the way through to the back of the property and out into the most beautiful garden. This was no accident, this eyeline was planned carefully and is just one of the many features that shows the detail that has gone into this home.

As you investigate the ground floor you can appreciate the balance and flow, some incredible reception and living space that is truly quite staggering, all of which lead from this central reception hall. To give you some idea, the family room and study are pretty equal, lovely square rooms that give complete versatility, the living room then also a truly impressive room with French doors allowing you to spill out into the gardens, along with an immaculate feature fireplace.

The overall jaw drop room then has to be the kitchen/breakfast/family space, simply amazing and as good as the day it was created. The bi-fold doors frame the stunning gardens and, along with the vast roof lantern, allow light to pour in. The gloss finish flooring then reflects the light back and almost holds it in the room, with white quartz work tops then contrasting against the real wood cabinets it forms a great look.

Balance the can be spoilt sometimes when you reach the first floor, but not here. This is what we term as a ‘genuine’ five-bedroom home. As you would hope, you have a fantastic size landing which actually leads you, rather than having doors to all rooms on top of you.

With two ensuites and family bathroom all housing Villeroy and Bosch fitments along with beautiful limestone floor and wall tiles, you have every room serviced. The master has to have a special mention with the en suite offering both walk in shower and separate bathtub and his and hers sinks units, lovely.

Moving outside, the raised terrace spans the whole width of the property and to the side, again a well-proportioned and balanced space that gives rooms to both relax and entertain without toppling off. Stand her just for a second and take in the view, we think you’ll be here for a little while as the view is full of colour, texture and privacy. The central lawns are beautifully tended and lush.

All in all this is one of the most balanced and versatile family homes we have seen for some time and we love it. Come and have a private tour and give us your thoughts.
