4 bed detached house for sale

Finchampstead Road, Wokingham RG40

Description

Attractive & substantial 1930's home - with a large & secluded garden, ample parking, and an overall plot approaching 1/4 acre.

Ideally-placed for excellent schooling, open country-side space, and less than a 20 minute walk to Wokingham town.

With tasteful décor and a warm welcome, this home has been extended to provide well-balanced living space. It offers everything a family needs - but also has good scope to extend further.

The hallway is spacious, with parquet flooring, under-stairs storage, cloakroom, and a corner feature fireplace.

The kitchen, with its large island / breakfast bar, is the perfect size for everyday dining. There's extra seating in the breakfast and family room under the glass roof lantern, offering light-filled space for casual dining or relaxing. The bifold doors bring plenty of natural light into this space, and - fully opened - creates a wonderful connection to the garden in the warmer months. This layout lends itself to entertaining, keeping an eye on young children playing, and provides a peaceful spot to wind down.

The kitchen is beautifully equipped with sage timber cabinets, modern floor tiles, and a gas range cooker (which has been cleverly fitted into one of the original fireplaces). With an adjoining utility / laundry and pantry room, there's plenty of practical space to cope with the busiest of families (including a side entrance and large Belfast sink for hosing down dogs and football players!)

Outside, there's a handsome brick-built open kitchen - with power, pizza oven, TV point, timber joists and a tiled roof - this wonderful feature promises to host many summer parties and relaxed family meals.

There's a large formal dining room, with a 'secret' bookcase doorway into the integral garage. The living room has a timeless decor, with wooden flooring, calming colours, and a large bay window over-looking the garden. There's also a set of French doors to provide light and flow with the garden.

With four sensibly-sized bedrooms and two large bathrooms, the upstairs space will suit most growing families. The master bedroom has a range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, large bay window over-looking the garden, and an en-suite with large shower enclosure.

The 1930s is renowned for house-building quality and craftsmanship, and this super home has beautifully modernised over the years, whilst retaining plenty of period style. Charming features include fireplaces, dog-leg stairwell with large widows, a pantry, and traditional bay windows (interestingly at the rear of the house). Properties of this era traditionally had large plot sizes, and this home enjoys easy parking with space to turn, and a large and mature garden.

The garden is a super size for family fun, gardening and veg growing. The timber garden cabin is fully-commissioned for working from home - with double doors and window, but not too far from the kitchen or coffee-maker!

This home has an EV charger, integral garage, and excellent driveway parking

Ideally-located for some of Wokingham's most sought-after schools, including Evendons Primary (ofsted Outstanding) and Bohunt Secondary (with a sixth form college opening autumn 2026). Luckley House School is very nearby, and Luckley Road leads into Ludgrove School's driveway. There are also quiet walks through Chapel Green to Heathlands Road and Crowthorne. Bus routes runs along Finchampstead Road, with services to Arborfield, Barkham and Wokingham town (although it's far quicker to walk, with 15 minutes on foot to the Carnival Hub, with its gym, pool and library). The rail station is also within walking distance with trains into London and Reading.

A Few Words from Quarters

"We understand this home was built in 1934, and those who appreciate the build quality of this era will find the combination of plot size, quality of finish, and future potential quite compelling.

We particularly love the position of this home - set back from the road, easy to get to town and with a play park and recreation ground nearby (Leslie Sears & Viking Field). 'Welly walks' such as through the wooded Gorrick Plantation or into Wokingham's beautiful countryside to Chapel Green and the Nature Park are on the doorstep.
