Nine Mile Ride, Finchampstead, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

Nestled off the Nine Mile Ride, in a leafy 0.25 acre plot, this non-estate family home currently adorns over 2200sqft and is now available for the first time in well over a decade.

This property has masses of potential and as such has the rare benefit of granted planning permission to convert the rear right hand side of the property into a larger-than-average kitchen/dining room, as well as a dormer extension for a double master bedroom with en-suite.
The owners have already initiated this planning permission by building a separate double garage, which can be admired as you pull onto the gated gravelled driveway which is spacious enough to host eight vehicles comfortably.

As you enter the property, you are greeted by a larger-than-average porch, whereby you can admire the rest of the open plan flow of the accommodation ahead. The dining room sits at the heart of the downstairs space and has the advantage of natural light and high ceilings. To the front of the property, there is a living area which is the perfect space for a study/playroom but due to the additional storage and sink, this has been used as a fourth bedroom for guests/elderly relatives over the years. The living room spans over 19ft in length and not only benefits from dual aspect light but has a warming wood log burner to enjoy in the colder months. A pair of sliding patio doors will provide access to the rear garden. The ‘tardis like’ feeling continues throughout the right hand side of the ground floor with a boot room, a single integral garage with additional workshop to the rear, a downstairs cloakroom and large utility room all located here. Finally, to conclude the ground floor, there is a kitchen that overlooks the wonderful views of the garden with ample storage and worktop space. As mentioned previously, this space can be significantly improved with the relocation into the right hand side of the building.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms (with potential for four if someone wants to execute the planning). The two larger bedrooms look over the front of the plot and have additional advantage of multiple integrated wardrobes. This home benefits from two modern family bathrooms, one of which was formally a fourth ‘box bedroom’. Both are three-piece and the larger of the two has plenty of additional storage as well as a double shower tray.

The rear garden is the real ‘wow factor’ of this home and is one that will leave most people in awe. The garden is completely private and tree-lined, benefitting from tranquillity and maturity. The garden is mostly laid to lawn however, the owners have created two additional patio areas which are perfect for entertaining. Please do not be deceived by the North facing aspect of this home as this garden is absolutely sun-soaked all year round, as can be admired on the photos.

Despite its semi-rural location, Nine Mile Ride is well located to enjoy the local amenities. For instance, within strolling distance a small parade of shops including takeaways and a pharmacy can be found. California Country Park and The Ridges are right on the doorstep and for those who enjoy golf on the weekends can be safe in the knowledge there are multiple nearby options.
