DESCRIPTION/LOCATION:  A detached chalet style house in a lovely retired position on the outskirts of Wokingham Town Centre.  It is approached over a private driveway (owned by this property) and serves just 2 others in addition.  The gardens are private and back onto St Crispin’s playing fields.  Within a short walk there are local shops at Rances Lane.  Wokingham Town Centre, St Crispin’s School and primary education are all within about 1 mile.  The A329M about 1.5 miles and offers immediate access to the M4 (Junction 10) and the M3 to the south at Bagshot.  Wokingham railway station offers services on the Waterloo and Guildford/Gatwick line whilst just to the north Twyford station offers the alternative of services into Paddington and also on the Elizabeth line.

We have previously referred to a planning consent (now expired) - this linked the house to the garage and included additional accommodation over the garage. A copy of those drawings are available for consideration.  Other extensions are of course possible and we anticipate it is likely a buyer will consider some modernisation works are appropriate.  The property has been in the same ownership for almost 40 years and is now awaiting a new family to move in and adapt to their requirements.

Gardens.  The front garden is well defined and approached through a gateway with lawn shrubs and some paviours.  This  is a significant area with parking and some formal garden.  There is access on either side of the property to the rear garden which is mainly lawn with, raised patio and bed with shrubs trees.   Well screened on all sides with white washed wall on rear boundary ajoining and overlooking the St Crispin’s school playing fields which are rarely used. Perhaps in slightly contradictory terms, well enclosed but also quite open.
