A semi-detached house believed to date from the 1920s and originally a farm workers cottage.  The house has the benefit of a two storey extension built about 30 years ago and there is undoubtedly potential for further extension if required.  The floor plan and internal photographs confirm the spaciousness and quality of the internal finish.  There is good off street parking at the front and a long rear garden that adjoins the Barkham Brook which is a tributary of the River Loddon.  

Regular bus services pass along the Barkham Road between Wokingham Town Centre and Reading with a nearby shop in Bearwood Road (about ¾ mile).  There is a new Sainsbury’s supermarket at Arborfield Green with other shops planned.
