Soldiers Rise, Finchampstead, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

Available for the first time in a decade, presented in immaculate order throughout, this perfect family home offers flexible accommodation along one of Finchampstead most esteemed lanes.

As you approach Havana Lodge via gravelled in and out driveway which could host six cars with ease, you can immediately appreciate its curb appeal and imposing position on the lane. Once in the spacious hallway, there is ample storage solutions that have been intelligently installed as well as a smart downstairs cloakroom. An impressive entertaining space to the rear has been created with two sets of bi-fold doors overlooking the garden, ample space for dining and a high end modern refitted kitchen with a highly desired central island which lends itself to additional storage and casual dining. The current owners have integrated several high-end appliances including a central hob, double oven, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer so we are sure this space would be a keen cooks haven. The living room lies adjacent to the open plan kitchen and spans over 9 metres in length. The whole room is bright thanks to the dual aspect nature and light herringbone flooring that runs throughout. The owners have created a study space at the front of the lounge, which allows for a serene setting, overlooking the private lane.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom has a stunning view over the garden, which is only elevated with the addition of the Juliet balcony. There are two integrated wardrobes as well as a three-piece smart en-suite which includes a jacuzzi style bath. Bedroom two has the rare benefit of an additional three piece en-suite. The room itself is a generous double bedroom. There are two further bedrooms, both that can comfortably host double beds as well as additional furniture.

The real wow factor lies in the garden space, which is circa 100ft. At the top of the garden, a well-maintained decking area has been made to capture elevated sunshine and is home to the heated swimming pool – which is a rare find in the local area. There is plenty of lawn space, the current owner’s children have enjoyed this child-friendly garden and even had a zip wire and a treehouse in the past. The garden is a sunworshippers haven with its West facing aspect, benefitting from sunshine all day. Finally, there is a powered garden cabin at the rear which is currently being used as a gym. The other half of the cabin is being used as a shed, currently.

Soldiers Rise remains a popular non-estate location due to its high degree of privacy, flexibility on what works can be carried out and proximity to amenities. The property lies in between the two popular towns of Wokingham and Crowthorne, allowing it to benefit from the restaurants on offer as well as the London-serving train stations. This home is a perfect pick for families due to its proximity to the Outstanding Edgbarrow School, as well as several other private and public schooling options. Finally, there are several vast green spaces nearby including The Finchampstead Ridges.
