Chaucer Close, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

Situated within prime St Crispin’s catchment, located in a quiet cul-de-sac of just seven houses, this four-bedroom detached house boasting almost 2000sqf is impressive in many regards.

As you approach the property, the kerb appeal of this particular property stands out amongst the surrounding houses. The owner has gravelled the driveway, creating enough parking spaces for four vehicles, this could be further improved however we personally like how the owner has kept some greenery to really enhance the overall frontage of this home. You enter this property straight into the extended porch, which gives you plenty of space to offload coats and shoes.

Immediately in front of you, you can find the living room, which is a big space, spanning over most of the width of this property. There is plenty of glass in this room so not only do you get an abundance of natural light but also, a great glimpse of what is to be enjoyed in the garden. There is a feature fireplace in the centre of this room and whilst this is not used by the current owners, this can be re-instated by anyone who would like to enjoy a toasty fire in the winter months. This home was heavily extended by the previous owners, encompassing two new reception rooms whilst not disrupting the lovely flow of the downstairs accommodation. The first room in this space is the dining room, where you can comfortably fit a eight-seater table as well as some other sizable furniture, which seamlessly leads onto the family room at the rear. This room allows for a great second space, making this perfect for guests or teenagers alike – as it creates a ‘snug’ like effect. The owners have made this space more modern with an exposed sage green brick. Furthermore, there is a separate study.

To the front of the property, you will find the 14ft kitchen which has been kept in great condition by the current owners. There is an array of storage cupboards and plenty of space on the granite worktops as well as a number of integrated appliances, including the dishwasher, oven and hob. For those who enjoy casual dining, there is space for four to eat around the central breakfast bar. We feel this kitchen has been intelligently designed for avid chefs and those who like to entertain. A modern downstairs toilet concludes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the owners have executed a large second storey extension, mirroring the extension that was performed on the ground floor. This has created a luxurious master bedroom suite which most million-pound houses do not benefit from, this bedroom spans over 21ft, you would be hard pressed to find space like it. A dressing area can be found at the forefront of the master bedroom, offering multiple wardrobes for clothes storage as well as a modern en-suite, complete with large shower tray and Aqualisa power shower. However, the unique feature about this room, other than its size, is the double French doors that lead out onto the balcony which allows for one to really appreciate the gorgeous plot this property is blessed with. Following on from this, there are a further three double bedrooms upstairs, with all three benefitting from fitted wardrobes. An additional spot of luxury can be found in the family bathroom, with separate Aqualisa power shower and bathtub to be enjoyed as well as a number of storage options.

Externally, it becomes clear that the owner of this house is a keen gardener – because wow! The garden is a wrap-around corner plot and benefits from the sun throughout the day. This garden is honestly a green fingered persons dream as there are a plethora of flowerbeds and vegetable plots. There is plenty of lawn space but also enough paved space to enjoy BBQs throughout the summer with the family. There is a decking area, a pond, two sheds and a greenhouse – you really need to enter this garden to appreciate its beauty. There is also a double garage that can be accessed via double glazed French doors from the garden, which lends itself to future potential should a family wish to continue expanding in this property. There is also an electric roller door giving access from the front.

Chaucer Close is extremely well located, being less than a mile to walk into town, where you can find an array of popular restaurants and of course, the train station. However, it will take you even less time to walk to the well-regarded St Crispin’s school and the Keephatch Nature Reserve can be ventured to shortly. For those who need to commute by car, you can find yourself on the M4 within five minutes.
