Wokingham, Berkshire

DESCRIPTION/LOCATION:   Holmes Crescent is as the name suggests, a crescent, approached from Oaklands Drive and with very little, if any, passing traffic.  The railway station is about ¾ of a mile (15 minute walk) whilst there are local shops including Lidl, in nearby Mollar Millars Lane and Tesco within walking distance.  There are also two pubs/restaurants within walking distance.

Holmes Crescent is a low density and exclusive development dating from the 1970s with a mix of houses and bungalows.  The garage has been professionaly converted (with building regulation approval) to provide additional accommodation in the form of a self-contained annexe.  The Town Centre is about 1 mile with a good range of shops and leisure facilities including the Carnival Hub with swimming pool, leisure, fitness, community and library facilities in one centralised location.  There is also a bowling alley and nearby cinema.  The railway station offers services on the Reading to London (Waterloo line) and also to Guildford/Gatwick.  The M4 (Junction 10) is available on the outskirts of Wokingham and the M3 to the south at Camberley.
