Wokingham Road, Hurst, Reading, Berkshire, RG10

Situated off the beaten track in at the end of an unadopted lane in the well-regarded hamlet of Hurst, this detached farmhouse presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking for a tranquil, rural setting.

The characterful home was built in the early 1900’s has stunning, scenic views and also has planning consent granted (application number 221221 on the Wokingham Borough Council planning website) for a brand new, luxurious ‘Grand Designs’ inverted living home spanning over 3000 sq. ft. This would create a fantastic open-plan kitchen/living area to the first floor with large L-shaped balcony providing outstanding views over the Berkshire countryside.

The existing property is steeped in character and comprises porch, living room with open fireplace, exposed beams, and French doors out to a patio. There is a separate dining room and 16ft study which could be used as a family room, roomy, refitted shaker style kitchen with integrated appliances, cloakroom, and utility room. Upstairs there is a refitted four-piece family bathroom and four double bedrooms.

Externally, the gardens are to the front and side with driveway parking for a few cars off the lane. There is a detached double garage and two further outbuildings, with the total plot measuring approximately 0.2 acres.

For those not wanting to demolish and re-build but still wanting to put their own stamp on a property, there is also permitted development for the construction of a 50 sq. m. extension/building to the existing property, which can be either attached or detached.

There is easy access to Twyford station with the Elizabeth Line providing a fast line into central London and the A329M and M4 are nearby too. There is a selection of schooling options within the vicinity and some lovely countrywide walks and rambles on your doorstep.
