Lake View, Wokingham

Waterside living in a peaceful & private setting ~ with a large & south-facing garden, and just a mile from Wokingham town.

This exceptional home is part of a private & gated development, has a 0.33 acre plot, landscaped gardens, green outlook to both front & rear, and a detached double garage.

Perfectly-designed with modern life in mind, there's a lovely open plan kitchen with far-reaching garden views and French doors opening onto a smart patio. The kitchen is equipped with all-Bosch appliances, and features a breakfast bar and plenty of space for dining and entertaining. The adjoining utility room has a door to the outside, space for laundry appliances, water softener, and utility sink.

The living room has a large squared bay window, tasteful flooring, and bespoke plantation shutters. The study is ideally-placed near the front door, and the cloakroom has wide / accessible door access.

Underfoot, the entire downstairs has gas-fired underfloor heating, so provides year-round comfort (and makes furniture layout so much easier).

The upstairs has a sensible layout, with fitted storage in three bedrooms, and a luxury four piece en-suite in the master bedroom. All bedrooms are fitted with plantation shutters, and the family bathroom is both tasteful and practical (with integral shower / bath, and some good storage space)

The detached double garage has two bays, an EV Pod charger, and rear door to the garden.

The garden, which has been extensively landscaped, has an idyllic SSW facing orientation, and this spans a length over 120' (35m). With a smart patio, curved stone barbecue seating, and decked pergola, the garden design makes the most of its sunny outlook - ideal for family days in the sun, entertaining, and a place for some restful shade.

There is an annual service charge of c £1,600 which covers gate maintenance, grounds maintenance, and lake management. Carefully built by Belgrave Homes in 2019, this home has the remainder of a 10 year Home Building Warranty.


THE LOCATION

Sitting on the edge of Wokingham town centre, the 25 minute walk to the vibrant town promises the new owners an easy lifestyle. With its choice of pubs, restaurants and eateries, getting home after a night out is super-easy. Wokingham also has a lively market with farm produce and street food, a modern library, leisure centre (including gym, bowling, and swimming pool) coffee shops and train station.

Ideally-located for some of Wokingham's most sought-after schools means you can leave the car at home - St Crispins Secondary, Floreat Montague Park Primary, and St Teresa's Catholic Academy are all between a 10 or 15 minute walk away. Montague Park (accessed through Clay Lane), has dog-walking spaces and a modern Co-op. There's also the Iflould Crescent playground nearby, and bus routes running to Wokingham, Reading & Bracknell (from London Road).

Waterloo Road is now closed at the old railway crossing, so there's local traffic only.


A Few Words from Quarters
"Anyone looking for something special, with beautiful surroundings, is likely to fall in love with Lake View.

The owners tell us the pond is full of fascinating water wildlife, and there's a good community of neighbours who appreciate the calm oasis it brings.

With over 2,000 sq ft (inc garage) this home has ample space for a growing family, but there's also future potential for an attic conversion (which a couple of the neighbours have already done). Given the plot size and super location, this home could grow with your family, if you should ever find yourself needing more space

Lake View is a gated development of just seven detached family homes, and the thoughtful design ensures each home has the benefit of a secluded garden, but a sense of community. If you like local history - you might like to know that the lake used to belong to Frog Hall Manor before its conversion into apartments in the early 1970s.

Please get in touch with Nick Harris or Teresa Ling at Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham, for further details or to discuss viewing arrangements ~ we're looking forward to showing you around this wonderful home."
