Super-smart home with a huge plot, and huge potential...
Although this home is in pristine order, and ready to move in to, its garden and plot size are absolutely perfect for creating a 'forever home' for those wanting more space. For that reason, the current owners have carefully brought the vision to life with an approved planning application for a large five bedroom home **
Offering a gated entrance, parking for several cars and a substantial garden stretching over 130', this home is set back from the road by around 70', and enjoys well-screened privacy from all aspects. We believe this is one of the largest plots in the near neighbourhood, and its well-tended garden is a haven of interest and colour.
With four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, utility and a double garage with workshop, this home is in 'mint' condition and doesn't actually need any improvement. The new owners can move in and enjoy the space but, if there's an appetite to take it to the next level, planning has been granted to create a 5 bedroom, 3-4 bathroom beautiful home (without compromising the outside space)**
The modern kitchen is finished with a smart block timber worktop, has a gas hob and integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Unlike other 'projects' this home has been upgraded with smooth skimmed ceilings, down-lighters, contemporary doors, and replacement windows and front door in around 2013.
The energy efficiency performance is impressive (with a C rating), with its good standard glazing and solar panels which are optimally positioned on the south-facing rear of the property.
There are some lovely features, including parquet flooring, gas fire, automated garage doors, and a large welcoming hallway.
The garden is beautifully landscaped, and enjoys the best of the British summer with its south-westerly orientation. The impressive raised patio in Indian Sandstone provides a lovely terrace for barbecues and al-fresco dining while the sun goes down.
For cooler weather, there's a timber summer house, and for all-year working there's a modern garden office with air conditioning which provides both heat and cooling. The deck faces to the bottom of the garden, and makes a wonderful stress-relieving workspace.
Local good schools include St Paul's CofE Junior School, Emmbrook Infant School and Walter Infant School (all OFSTED Outstanding) with Windmill Primary, The Hawthorns Primary and Emmbrook Junior School (all OFSTED Good). Senior schools include The Holt (Outstanding) and The Emmbrook School (Good).
This location is well served with regular buses (up to every 20 minutes) to Reading, Bracknell and Wokingham town and station. The station is under a mile away, so walkable in 15-20 minutes, and there are lovely nearby walks in Chestnut Park and - a short drive away - Dinton Pastures.
Wokingham town is ideal for families, with a new pool and fitness hub, bowling, library, Pirates Landing (indoor play and ice cream parlour) Everyman cinema, theatre, coffee shops, great pubs and eateries. The regular markets include street food, local organic produce, fish, artisan breads, crafts and a vegan market.
For those with a sweet tooth, there's Donut Time, the Cake Box and Joy Cafe & Creperie. Favourite coffee shops include Costa, Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Gails. We also have some popular independent choices - Characters and Brown Bag.
Well-known retailers in Wokingham include Waitrose, WHSmith, Sweaty Betty, Waterstones, Oliver Bonas, Robert Dyas and Edinburgh Wool Mill. Wokingham also has some lovely independent stores, including MiMis and Purple Butterfly boutiques, Maison Rustic & Peacock House interiors, and Maya's Re-fillables (zero waste products, to keep the conscience and re-cycling in check!)
There's an excellent selection of restaurants, including Chalk, Bombay Story, Côte, Hamlet, The Tamarind Tree, sen ichie, Giggling Squid, Rossinis and Piazza Cafe. There's also a quirky little wine bar - The Grasshopper - which is perfect for an informal bite and a slice of adult chill time.
Please get in touch with Nick and Teresa for any questions, or to arrange your viewing. This is a special and unique opportunity, and we're looking forward to showing you around! In the meantime, do check out the virtual tour on this listing.
