Description
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: A detached bungalow believed to date from 1959 about a half mile walk across parkland to Wokingham Town Centre.

Wokingham is a strategic centre with good road and rail links. It also has a very good selection of secondary schools with 5 (good or excellent) offering a shared catchment. Walks to the countryside at the rear and the parkland opposite are two noteworthy features. Wokingham Town Centre has vibrant characteristics following the regeneration – lots of cafes and restaurants, some shops and parkland. There is also a Leisure Centre with swimming pool and library.
