5 bed detached house for sale

Chestnut Avenue, Wokingham RG41

A Modern Masterpiece in the Heart of Wokingham

Tucked away behind sleek electric gates on one of Wokingham’s most distinguished tree-lined avenues, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence is a triumph of contemporary family living, where timeless elegance meets high-spec design.

Originally built in 2005 by renowned developer Michael Shanley Homes and thoughtfully extended in 2016, this striking home has been reimagined for 21st-century life—offering expansive interiors, beautiful craftsmanship, and a seamless flow between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity.

Grand Entrances & First Impressions

Arrive in style through a private, gated driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles. A slate-stepped, covered porch leads to a handcrafted solid oak front door with leaded glass inserts—a hint at the quality that lies within.

Step inside, and you're welcomed by a wide entrance hall where a sweeping oak staircase sets the tone. Tiled flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout much of the ground floor, complementing bespoke oak doors, chrome finishes, and Farrow & Ball’s iconic colour palette that elevates every room.

Designed for Living

At the heart of the home lies a showstopping open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room—designed by Anthony Mullen and finished with exquisite attention to detail. It’s a space made for entertaining and everyday ease: Think three Miele ovens with warming drawers, twin dishwashers, an induction hob with hidden extractor, and two large integrated liebherr fridge and freezer units. A feature ‘Eternity’ light adds a sculptural flair over the dining area, while the family zone centres around a sleek inset gas fire and media wall.

Tucked behind a bespoke glazed door, a walk-in pantry brings both style and substance, while an adjoining utility room and separate laundry room cater to busy households with effortless efficiency.

Space to Retreat, Work & Play

The main sitting room is a sanctuary in itself, painted in soft Farrow & Ball tones with a concealed projector screen, media wall, and wide patio doors opening to a covered terrace—your own private cinema or cosy winter retreat.

Working from home? A front-facing study with box bay window provides the perfect backdrop, while a second office/gym space with garden access and its own wet-room style cloakroom opens up possibilities for guests, multi-generational living, or even a creative studio.

A Boutique Hotel Feel Upstairs

Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing connects five beautifully appointed double bedrooms. The principal suite is pure indulgence—complete with a custom walk-in wardrobe and a spa-like en-suite with freestanding tub, walk-in rainfall shower, and statement glazing.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed with its own character. The guest suite offers views over the rear garden and a stylish en-suite. Another features dual-aspect windows and a chic wet room with a built-in bench, perfect for moments of calm. All remaining bedrooms are generous in size, with built-in wardrobes and en-suite access, blending comfort with quiet luxury.

Your Private Outdoor Escape

The landscaped rear garden is a private oasis, wrapped in mature greenery. Whether you're dining under the pergola, hosting friends on the sunlit patio, or relaxing in the charming summerhouse, every inch invites you to unwind. There’s also a covered terrace off the sitting room for year-round enjoyment, plus gated side access, a timber shed, and space to breathe.
