The Slade, Bucklebury, Reading, Berkshire, RG7

Wayside is an attractive Victorian five-bedroom home set within beautiful gardens in this highly sought-after hamlet.

Believed to date back to around 1820, Wayside has been recently renovated by the current owners and is well presented throughout.

The property is approached via a country lane, with a gravel driveway to the side providing ample parking. A porch leads into the front of the house, while a secondary side entrance opens into an an inner hallway between the kitchen and dining room. From here, a cosy snug is positioned to the front, and the space flows through to the kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys delightful views over the garden and offers space dining.

At the heart of the home is the spacious sitting room, featuring a wood-burning stove and doors opening directly onto the garden terrace. This room connects seamlessly to the snug, creating an ideal layout for both family living and entertaining. To the left of the house, there is a study—also suitable as a ground floor bedroom—alongside a conveniently located family bathroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is situated within the newer part of the house and benefits from an en suite shower room and attractive garden views. There are four further well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a generous family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower.

Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of the property. A terrace extends around the rear of the house, providing an excellent space. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and are well stocked with mature shrubs and trees, bordered by established hedging. A paved pathway runs through the garden, leading to the large L-shaped double garage with workshop, as well as a charming summer house tucked away at the far end.
