Earle Crescent, Wokingham, Berkshire

A bright town-centre apartment with a little more than you might expect

There is something immediately appealing about this first-floor apartment. Quietly positioned within a small development, with just three apartments opening from the landing, it combines the convenience of town-centre living with a surprising sense of space, light and privacy.

The heart of the apartment is its generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. With windows on two sides and a particularly attractive full-height bay overlooking the green at Elmsfield, it is a room that feels naturally bright throughout the day. The bay's three sections include opening windows, giving the room plenty of ventilation as well as its lovely outlook.

The kitchen sits neatly within the open-plan space and is fitted with an induction hob, double oven, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer, stainless-steel sink and stone worktops. A window looking towards the parking area brings additional natural light into the kitchen.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both with full-height mirrored wardrobes. The principal bedroom has the added benefit of its own en-suite shower room, while a separate, well-presented bathroom serves the rest of the apartment.

The entrance is secure and thoughtfully arranged, with colour video entry covering both the front and rear access doors. A lift serves the building, although the apartment is also easily reached by the gently rising staircase.

Practicality has been well considered too. There is a useful utility cupboard with plumbing for a washer/dryer, along with the electricity meter and internet connection. Outside, the property has its own parking space within the gated private car park, together with visitor parking, communal gardens, bicycle storage and a bin store.

And then there is the garden. Beyond the car park is an area of private garden, mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and ornamental trees—a pleasant little piece of outdoor space that is rather more than one might normally expect from a town-centre apartment.

With excellent broadband provision, secure parking, lift access, two double bedrooms and genuinely good living space, the apartment should appeal equally to a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize or an investor seeking a well-equipped town-centre property.

In short, it offers the convenience of apartment living without feeling as though you have had to compromise on space, light or outdoor areas.
