Brookside, Wokingham

Homely bungalow with a sunny & private garden. Set in a quiet backwater, but just a gentle riverside stroll to Woosehill shops, and around ten minutes walk to Wokingham station.

A beautifully accessible home, with living space which looks out across a secluded garden (and green space beyond). This home has a tranquil setting, with a green and private outlook, ample driveway, and a detached garage (which has been adapted to a store and bonus space, but could equally be re-instated)

The kitchen design, with a door leading to the patio, is perfectly-placed for stepping in to the garden. The southerly-facing position brings the warmth from the sun through the glazed door, and the westerly-facing window brings more light from the afternoon sun. This room feels bright and airy, and its crisp, white cabinetry accentuates the natural light. Fitted with good storage, easy-to-clean hob, eye-level oven, and well-designed prepping space.

The bathroom is modern and airy, with a corner shower enclosure and window ventilation. Both bedrooms are good sizes, and the principal bedroom has impressive proportions, a range of fitted wardrobes, and room for the largest of beds.

With an easy layout, this home is ideal for sun-lovers and those who enjoy some tranquility. This home backs on to the 'Riverside Walk' so enjoys a high degree of privacy, and also has a sunny south-westerly outlook, which bathes the patio, kitchen, and living room in beautiful sunshine!

The garden is low maintenance, with steps down to a very private lawn area - perfect for pots and finding a cool shady spot on hot summers days. Uniquely, it has a garden gate which opens to Riverside Walk, along the Emm Brook - this is a super place for a stroll or dog walk, but also leads to the local Morrisons, pharmacy, medical centre, barbers and vets.

The detached garage is set back at the end of a long driveway and offers plenty of useful storage and workshop space. It's been converted into a bonus space garden office, with power, and a lovely window with green views. With power, this is an ideal space for hobbies, remote working, or extra utility space.

On a practical note, there's ramped access to the door, with a welcome porch canopy, and good cloaks storage in the entrance hall. There's side gate access to the garden, timber shed, garden tap, and power to the garage building.


~ THE LOCATION ~
Brookside is ideally located for some of Wokingham's most sought-after schools, including The Holt Secondary, Windmill Primary, St Paul's CofE, and Walter Infant School. It's also convenient for The Emmbrook Secondary and Emmbrook Junior Schools (all with OFSTED Good or Outstanding ratings). All these schools are walkable in under 15 minutes, with St Pauls CofE just a few moments away.

The walk to Wokingham station is around 10 minutes (along Oxford Road), with bus routes easily picked up from Wokingham station or Reading Road.

Just over a mile to the town centre, there's everything Wokingham has to offer in a 20-25 minutes walk, but there are also excellent amenities in Woosehill (including Morrisons supermarket, the medical centre and community centre) - this a is traffic-free route along Riverside Walk, and is less than 10 minutes from the front door.

A Few Words from Quarters
"it's rare to find a bungalow within walking distance of amenities, but this lovely home promises the best of both worlds - a peaceful setting in a quiet neighbourhood, and a leg-stretch to some useful local shops (and buses too)

Although it's close the the Emm Brook, its elevated position means it's safely away from the Environment Agency's flood risk zones.

Ideal for active down-sizers (and "right-sizers"!), and anyone looking for that rare blend of convenience and privacy. On the edge of the vibrant market town of Wokingham town, this is also an ideal place for anyone who enjoys leaving the car at home, and walking to meet friends for coffee, drinks or good food.
