London Road, Wokingham

Promising an easy lifestyle in Wokingham town, this substantial 1930's home has impressive proportions, with an equally fabulous garden!.

If you appreciate proper build quality, secluded garden, and ample parking, this home should make the shortlist.

Described as 'move-in ready', with modern kitchen & bathrooms, this home incorporates some stylish period twists (both retro and original), and has the bonus of a large garden lodge with air conditioning.

The downstairs layout has been thoughtfully designed to bring maximum sunlight throughout the day - internal glazed doors, large bay window, side glazing on the vaulted porch, double French doors in the living room, and striking roof windows in the kitchen's vaulted ceiling. The theme continues with bifold doors which open on to a sizeable patio area (which has, again, been designed to maximise on the sunshine)

The living room can host the largest of family gatherings, and also offers good scope to zone the furniture throughout the seasons - cosy fireside seating in the winter, or French doors flung open wide in the summer months... this room can also evolve as the family grows.

There are two more reception rooms - currently used as home offices. The bay fronted dining room is perfect for formal dining, but equally ideal as play room or media room. The smaller study, which is accessed from the living room, makes an ideal snug or home office.

The kitchen is quite striking, with sleek lines and tasteful finishing touches. The vaulted ceiling and roof windows make perching at the breakfast bar a lovely way to enjoy meals and time with friends. The bifold doors offer a refreshing through-breeze in the summer months, and a green view of the garden all year round.

Each of the upstairs bedrooms has a unique feel, but all are part of the same 'family' with tall ceilings, picture rails, and an interesting ceiling shape. The master bedroom has the focal point of a full-width bay window which is set off with a range of mirrored wardrobes, and the spacious en-suite has a large shower enclosure.

Bedroom Two has bespoke fitted cabinetry, and the family bathroom is fitted with both bathtub and shower enclosure - so perfect for families of all ages.

The garden has been sectioned off with smart picket fence around the garden lodge - so ideal for dogs, vegetables, or occasional guests. This fabulous garden building is fitted with air conditioning (which heats in the winter), a loo, and running water. This makes it a perfect place for teenagers, remote workers, or potentially those with a therapy, dog-grooming, or treatment business... there's also scope to make it a gym, of course.


On a practical note...
There's a modern cloakroom, large internal porch, and a range of bespoke under-stairs storage. There's good linen storage upstairs, and the attic space offers significant (and potentially exciting) scope to convert into habitable space...

Tucked away, but just where you need it (next to the back door), is a dedicated utility area. The design is easy to keep clean, and complements the kitchen range. The detached garage is a sizeable 6m long, and had rear access to the garden ~ so ideal for both cars and garden equipment. There's also an attached garden store, offering excellent storage for bikes, mowers and garden furniture.

There's easy parking for two to three cars at the front of the house, and a secure driveway with iron gates, for extra vehicles. There's an electric vehicle charger supplied.

A Few Words from Quarters
"It's hard to beat the convenience of living in the town, but it's also hard to find a family home with such good inside and outside space. With classically handsome looks, this home feels beautifully balanced, and its ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms and living space is the perfect formula. Although it's large enough for all family stages, it still has plenty of scope to extend upwards or to the rear (subject to planning consents).

The unique style and attention to detail on this home are quite special ~ every upgrade made has full respect its 1930's origins, but the thoughtful design caters for modern family life. We particularly love the flow from the entrance to the bifold doors, with continuous flooring and a wide, door-less entrance to the kitchen.

One of the highlights of this property is the lovely garden - although the grass is scorched in the photos, a walk around outside should spark the imagination for future family fun and garden parties!

As you'd expect from a home so close to town, you can enjoy easy walks to Wokingham's wonderful restaurants, bars, coffee shops and eateries. Ironically, for a house with such generous parking, you may find you don't need so many cars as it's easy to walk to schools, bowling, swimming, library and gyms . The train station is a brisk 15-6 minute walk, and buses to Bracknell and Reading are just a few yards away.

Sitting close to All Saints Church, this home enjoys the gentle bell-ringing on a Sunday (and Tuesday evenings practice!). The Cornerstone at All Saints provides varied community activities (including yoga and crafts), and the church itself has been adapted to provide social space for the wider community, to include a coffee shop and cultural events.

The 'local' is the Ship Inn, which is just 350 yards away - a landmark building in Wokingham with wonderful beers and a warm welcome!

Close by are the Elizabeth and King George V recreation parks, and some of Wokingham's most sought after schools - St Crispin's, Westende, Wescott (OFSTED Outstanding) and St Teresa's Catholic Primary school (also OFSTED Outstanding). See below for fuller details of the area,
