2 bed bungalow for sale

Brookside, Wokingham RG41

Description

Perfectly-placed for peaceful living ~ set in a quiet backwater, but just a gentle riverside stroll to Woosehill shops, and around ten minutes walk to Wokingham station.

Meticulously refurbished, this spacious bungalow has a secluded & sunny garden, open plan kitchen, and ample driveway / garage parking.

The kitchen design creates a sociable space, with breakfast bar, dining room and wide sliding doors opening on to a large decking area. This open plan feel zones in to the living room with seamless flooring - there's plenty of space for friends and family, and the gas fire creates a striking focal point. This room has a ceiling sun tunnel to bring natural light into this space, and the large sliding doors (with their sunny aspect) frame a lovely view of the garden,

The bathroom is modern and airy, and both bedrooms are double in size. This home also has an extra versatile room next to kitchen - ideal for a study, hobbies, but also a laundry room (as it has plumbing for a washing machine)

With an easy layout, this home is ideal for sun-lovers and those who enjoy some tranquility. This home backs on to the 'Riverside Walk' so enjoys a high degree of privacy, and also has a sunny south-westerly outlook, which bathes the decking and kitchen in beautiful sunshine!

The garden is low maintenance, with steps down to a very secluded patio area - perfect for pots and finding a cool shady spot on hot summers days.

The detached garage is set back at the end of a smart driveway (with low gates), and offers plenty of useful space for car-lovers (or those looking for workshop / hobby space)

A Few Words from Quarters
"This home is presented in 'turn-key' condition, and would make an ideal home for down-sizers and up-sizers alike. Tastefully refurbished, but retaining the charm of its origins - the decent room sizes and plot size make this home feel spacious and private.

Although it's close the the Emm Brook, its elevated position means it's safely away from the Environment Agency's flood risk zones.
