It is difficult to find somewhere to start with this one as there is just so much to talk about. Walking around we were just in awe!

There is nothing that we love more than a ‘period’ home that captures the ‘character meets contemporary’ theme well. If that’s the sort of thing that you are after…. And you are looking for somewhere sizeable, quirky, well connected and in good school catchment then this could quite possibly be for you.

Back in the 1800s this delightful home was once a pub. Now it’s a truly inspired home that is perfect for a family. It has been renovated to a fabulous standard throughout offering tasteful and modern decor consistently, not to mention it’s got a brilliant flow that’s both comfortable and practical for day-to-day life. It is also very homely, savouring the warmth that you’d find in a traditional character cottage.

A little bit about the area…..
Located directly opposite is the renowned Dinton Pastures Nature Reserve offering a brand new activity centre with water sports, rock climbing, a large play park, an array of scenic walks, a cafe and one of the most desired fishing lakes in the UK. It is a 10 minute walk from Winnersh train station and Twyford train station is a 3 minute drive, giving two rail options directly to London. You’ll be in catchment for the area’s top schools, the ever-popular Showcase cinema is 1.7 miles away, there is easy access to Wokingham town centre with its array of pubs, cafes, gyms and shops and a supermarket at the end of the road. You’ll also find easy access to the motorway but the best bit about it all is that this area is very ‘green’ and backs onto private land! It’s truly lovely…. Fire up the BBQ in the summer and you're left with nothing but you and the birdsong around you….. Lovely!

Ok now let’s have a walk through ……

Walking in through the front door, you are welcomed into an impressive entrance hall which presents beautifully and really ‘sets the tone’ for what’s in store. There is plenty of space to be able to navigate a pram in and around, there is also a dedicated, purpose-built cloakroom so that you can neatly put away your coats and shoes.
Straight ahead in front of you there is a magnificent kitchen/dining room which is bright, airy and very open. It is a fabulous space for relaxing and entertaining. You will find bespoke flooring, stylish worktops, an island with in-built cupboards and USB power points, quality in-built appliances, a stunning skylight lantern and UPVC bi-fold doors which open up to the garden in a continuous flow which is very elegant and impressive. Perfect for entertaining in the summer and letting in an abundance of natural light in the winter months.
Located just off one side of the kitchen there is playroom giving the ‘little ones’ their own space and a dedicated area for their toys saving you from clutter. It also means that you can ‘keep an eye on them’ easily.
Directly opposite the playroom, you’ll find a three-piece bathroom and utility that is very modern and presents beautifully, with effective integrated space for laundry appliances.
The downstairs accommodation also boasts two additional reception rooms including a cosy snug area and an office which could also be a studio, hobby room or even a gym. There are also two storage cupboards, underfloor heating and triple glazed windows at the front.
Upstairs you will find four bedrooms made up of three doubles which all allow for sizeable items of furniture and a large single room which is perfect for another office and for a growing family. There is also the main five-piece family bathroom, including ample storage, which is a magnificent size and it presents beautifully. You will also find access to two large lofts, perfect to stow away your suitcases and Christmas decorations etc.

The very mature garden to the rear has been landscaped beautifully. You will find a delightful new patio with porcelain tiles that have been well laid, and the area captures the sunlight beautifully. The large barbeque area has been custom built to size for an outdoor fridge, storage and a barbeque to be built in the centre. For anyone ‘green fingered’ there are delightful flower beds throughout, with a rose garden at the rear with an old ‘working well’, now blocked up for safety, alongside it, which is a lovely feature representing the history of the house. You will also find side access to the front where you will find an impressive driveway which can park four vehicles easily.

The garden is east-facing and has the sun all day, with stunning sunrises out the back that are breathtaking. As the sun sets the back of the garden captures every last ray of sun. The property boasts a position of not being overlooked.

This home is very much one that you have to view to ‘get the feel’ of, to truly appreciate it. Viewings can be arranged immediately and by appointment only.
