Havelock Road, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG41

noir by david cliff - RECENTLY REFURBISHED THROUGHOUT

Ok, so this is just one of those homes. Good looking, I think you’ll agree, set over three floors, two minutes from the station and around five minutes from some of the best schools around. It’s also had a bit of a refresh, with new carpets, fresh paint throughout and new gravel in the garden, so plenty has already been done for you.

I love brickwork, I really do, but there’s something about painted brickwork that just looks a little bit… Regency, doesn’t it? And it really suits this home.

Inside, you’ve got a lovely main living room with a feature fireplace and wood burner, flowing through to a separate dining room with another feature fireplace. These could easily be opened up if that’s your thing, but I actually love having two defined spaces.

At the rear is a useful lobby with a bathroom, storage and a large Velux window, before you reach the real star of the show — the large vaulted kitchen/breakfast room. Light, bright and seriously spacious, with a smart white kitchen, contrasting worktops and glazed doors opening straight onto the garden. This is definitely the heart of the home.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a clever Jack-and-Jill-style WC, with the top floor dedicated to the main bedroom, complete with a large en suite and some fantastic far-reaching views. Perfectly tucked away from everyone else!

Outside, the garden has a gravelled seating area straight from the kitchen, lawn beyond and another seating spot at the end — perfect for following the sun. There are also roses, lilacs, raspberries and, of course, my personal favourite, an olive tree. At the bottom is a handy shed which could easily become the much-loved home office.

So, a good-looking, good-sized three-storey period home, packed with character, plenty of space, a great garden and the station practically on the doorstep. What’s not to like?
