About
Description Spacious room sizes, ample parking, and a short stroll to everything Wokingham has to offer - shops, bars, station, restaurants, salons & acres of peaceful nature in the beautiful Cantley Park.
This smartly presented home is just a footpath away to the heart of Wokingham, has a secluded and sunny garden, plenty of versatile living space, and a detached double garage.
With a sensible layout and plenty of natural light, the welcome home at the front door is both practical and warm.
The entrance porch provides a smart range of coat and boots storage, and the hallway underfoot has beautiful & hard-wearing maple flooring.
Turning right to the reception room, there's another treat in store with the parquet flooring (please note, this room is currently used as a dining room, so shown in the photos with table and chairs).
Arranged with four upstairs bedrooms, and a fifth bedroom suite & annex downstairs, this property would perfectly suit families of all ages and stages.
With its own small kitchen, the downstairs annex would suit older children, au-pairs, guests, or - of course - ideal accommodation for senior relatives or those with limited mobility.
The smart modern kitchen is fitted with Capel appliances, has a low-level breakfast bar, and a lovely view over the garden.
The adjoining utility room has a practical sink, storage and workspace, a large boiler cupboard to swallow the largest cleaning equipment, and a door to the garden and garage.
Separately, there's a large cloakroom with hidden laundry appliances - this room was formerly a third bathroom (with shower enclosure), and could easily be re-instated.
There's plenty of versatile reception space, with an impressively large, bright and airy living room.
With French doors to the garden and double pocket doors to the dining room (currently used as a piano room), this space gives plenty of options for large gatherings, or sectioning off for studies or games.
The location, in the heart of Wokingham town, makes everyday living super easy - with Waitrose as the 'corner shop', nearby buses, and plenty of amenities in the town, this home offers an easy lifestyle for dining out, meeting up for coffee, and trains to Reading and London.
Raising children here, of course, means they'll have more chance to be independent.
There's an easy walk to St Cripsins and The Holt School (across Cantley Park), with a good selection of infant and junior schools nearby.
Please see the interactive tool on our map function for full details on schooling, connectivity, amenities and transport links.
Sitting on a plot of 0.3 acres, the garden is both secluded and sunny (with a south-east orientation).
There's plenty of driveway parking, detached double garage, well-kept flower borders, and an enclosed vegetable garden.
A Few Words from Quarters "Built in the mid-1960s, this home has the luxury of large room sizes, well-spaced plot, and plenty of natural light.
Extended around 1986 to create the ground floor annex and utility, and with the same family's careful ownership for 40 years, this home has all the hallmarks of a forever home.
This home is clearly well-maintained, and presented in smart order throughout.
Whilst it's ideal for those needing annex quarters, the flexible layout means this space flows easily into the main house We particularly love the maple flooring downstairs.
- carrying warmth and classic style throughout the hallway, living and dining rooms - a perfect back-drop for colourful rugs, but almost too good not to show it off!
The Master bedroom may take your breath away too - but that's something you'll only appreciate on a viewing. Please get in touch with Nick or Teresa at Quarters Estate Agents.
