Finchampstead Road, Wokingham, Berkshire RG40

Noir by David Cliff - go on, try not to be impressed

Sat on a tranquil layby, tucked nicely off Finchampstead Road, is something truly special that we can’t wait to show you! This is one of those good-looking homes, sympathetically decorated with a mix of modern and traditional tones, packed with character and offering space in abundance. Immaculately presented, generously proportioned, grown-up and wonderfully versatile, this is a home that really does have it all.

Location wise, you’re onto a winner! Just a short walk from Wokingham town centre and the train station, you’re also within easy reach of Evendons Primary School, rated Outstanding in its latest Ofsted inspection, and Luckley House School, alongside nurseries and preparatory schools including Waverley and Holme Grange. Whether it’s the school run, the morning commute or a wander into town, the spot couldn’t be better.

Pulling onto the gravel driveway, passing the picket fencing and sweet laurel bushes, the sheer size and stature of this home certainly catches your attention. Step through the porch and into a lovely, generous entrance hall, with plenty of room to welcome guests and kick off those shoes and coats. Immediately to the left is one of two studies, which, as we all know, have become increasingly important. Both are already set up and ready to go, complete with bespoke fitted furniture, making working from home a breeze.
Back into the hallway and you’ll find the formal sitting room, another standout space. The fireplace creates a gorgeous, cosy feel, while the impressive pocket sliding doors draw your eyes straight through to the sun trap garden. The second study sits next door, with useful access through to the garage, which has plenty of room for bikes and all the everyday essentials.

Now, onto the room that’s top of everyone’s wish list ... The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space! With a fabulous island, worktop space for days and more of those brilliant pocket sliding doors opening straight onto the garden, this room is truly something special. Measuring approximately 34ft by 22ft, there’s room for sofas, a large dining table and chairs, and even a pool table if that’s your thing! It’s an incredible space for entertaining, spending time with family or simply spreading out and making it your own. The natural light pours in, and when those doors are thrown open in the warmer months, the outside really does come in. Just off this fantastic space is another reception room, currently set up as a gym but equally suited to a playroom. Tucked neatly around the corner, it’s ideal for keeping an eye on the little ones without toys taking over the kitchen island! There’s also a handy utility room alongside the kitchen, keeping the practical bits neatly tucked away.

Upstairs is full of surprises, with four bedrooms on the first floor and a fifth tucked away on the second! The principal bedroom is a great size, while bedrooms three and four offer plenty of room for the family to spread out. Bedroom two is tucked away at one end of the house, making it perfect for grown-up children craving a little independence or guests who like their own space. With its own en-suite, it’s almost a little hideaway of its own! There’s also a family bathroom to help keep those busy mornings running smoothly.

Head up to the second floor and you’ll discover bedroom five, an extension thoughtfully added by our sellers to create even more space. This is no ordinary extra bedroom, either! With its own velux roof balconies, it’s a really cool space that takes full advantage of the views over the stunning garden below. Whether it becomes a teenager’s retreat, a guest bedroom or somewhere to escape with a good book, it’s a brilliant bonus to an already versatile home.

And then there’s the garden ... Definitely one you’ll be telling your friends and family about! Lovely, private and south-east-facing, it’s a gorgeous outdoor space to enjoy throughout the day. But the surprises don’t stop there. A huge, proper outbuilding opens up a whole world of possibilities. Think separate home office, games room, gym or simply another chilled-out space to escape to. Whatever your lifestyle, this is so much more than just a garden; it’s an extension of the home, giving you even more room to live, work and play.

We really can’t stress enough how much this home has to offer, and we don’t expect it to hang around for long. Viewing is an absolute must, come and see it for yourself before someone else beats you to it!
