Gipsy Lane, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

A FAMILY HOME BUILT BY THE FAMILY THAT LIVE IN IT -

Originally constructed in 1985, this substantial four-bedroom chalet bungalow was built with care and attention to detail by the current owner's father, and it has been in the family ever since. Nestled within the quiet country lane part of Gipsy Lane, it enjoys a tranquil location whilst still being within walking distance of the vibrant town centre.

The property offers a great amount of flexibility to the new owners, with accommodation arranged over two floors as well as a large basement and wine cellar, which is not something we get to say every day! The basement is a particularly useful addition to the property, offering a fantastic amount of versatile space that could be used for storage, hobbies, a workshop or simply somewhere to keep all the things you don't want taking up valuable space within the house.

As you enter on the ground floor there is a spacious hallway which all the rooms fan off from. To the right is one of the ground floor bedrooms which has a shower room adjacent to it. At the rear of the property is the huge living room which was designed to be the hub of the home where everyone could gather. The bay window in here ensures there is always plenty of natural light and the addition of the conservatory only increases the space available. On the other side of the property, you have the kitchen with a separate utility room and the formal dining area, all flowing together perfectly. The owners cleverly put sliding doors between the living room and dining room, meaning these can be two separate rooms, or they can be opened when entertaining to bring everyone together. To round off the ground floor space, there is another double bedroom at the rear with a large family bathroom adjacent to it.

Upstairs there are two further double rooms, one of which is a comfortable bedroom with the benefit of an en suite shower room, whilst the other is a terrific, versatile space that could easily work as an office or hobbies room. Between these two rooms is a sizable landing, part of which has been cleverly used as a dressing area, although this is another incredibly versatile space and we will let you decide how you would like to use it.

Externally, the property is approached by a sweeping driveway which provides ample parking for numerous vehicles. This is complemented by a double garage and a covered carport with a pitched roof and barn-style doors, giving you plenty of space to park and store. The rear garden is exceptionally private and low maintenance, with mature trees and shrubs providing a level of privacy that you don't always get in other areas. The railway line runs to the rear of the property, but sits within a deep cutting, meaning the boundary is completely secure and the garden remains wonderfully private and not overlooked.

Another particularly attractive benefit for the new owners is the existing solar panel installation. The property has the benefit of an amazingly high existing feed-in tariff, with the contractual benefit passing to the new owners. Whilst there is no battery storage system associated with the panels, this is still a valuable and increasingly attractive feature that could provide a meaningful financial benefit to the next owners.

All in all, this is a really substantial and incredibly versatile family home that offers far more than you might initially expect, with plenty of space, some fantastic additional areas and a surprisingly private position, all within walking distance of the town centre. Add in the fact that there is no onward chain, and we think this is a really exciting opportunity for the next owners.
