Waterloo Road, Wokingham

Unique Opportunity ~ A secluded & substantial family home on the edge of Wokingham town, with large corner plot, peaceful position, and restful views.

With exceptional room sizes and excellent parking, this well cared-for family home offers enormous potential to refurbish, re-model or extend.

Set in a private lane of three detached homes, Silver Trees is a gentle walk to the town centre, and has green spaces and local shops nearby. Its unique location offers the ease of a town lifestyle, yet has traffic-free peace and views from the rear.

With a large central hallway, easy internal flow, and a good balance of living space, this home is super-versatile and capable of catering for the largest of families. With a downstairs bathroom and four reception rooms, it lends itself to accessible living (with a fifth bedroom option) on the ground floor. And, as the property is not overlooked in any way, it enjoys plenty of natural light and a high degree of privacy.

The living room is an impressive size, and is perfectly-placed to enjoy the garden all year 'round- with patio doors stepping in to the garden and a large bay window overlooking the lawn. With dimensions of 7.3m x 5.2m, this wonderful space will host the largest of gatherings and furniture pieces.

Upstairs, the four bedroom with three bathroom configuration allows plenty of space for older families, and - with two en-suites - takes the strain from the morning demand on bathrooms! The family bathroom is spacious and modern, and features a free-standing pebble bath tub and a large walk-in shower enclosure. The master bedroom has statement proportions, vaulted ceiling, views over fields, and an en-suite bathroom.

On the approach, the spruce trees and rendered boundary wall add to the feeling of privacy, and also give an air of quiet calm. The grounds are well-kept and easy to maintain, and the property backs on to the St Crispins playing fields (but is far from the school building and everyday activities - which is around 0.2 miles to the north). The private lane access is owned by this property, with access rights by its two close neighbours - we understand there is an informal neighbourly arrangement for the occasional upkeep of the lane, and ultimate responsibility is held with this property.

A Few Words from Quarters

"Sitting on the edge of Wokingham town centre, the 20 minute walk to the vibrant town promises the new owners a wonderful lifestyle. With its choice of pubs, restaurants and eateries within walking distance, getting home after a night out is super-easy. Wokingham also has a lively market with farm produce and street food, a modern library, leisure centre (including gym, bowling, and pool) coffee shops and train station. All these facilities are in reach without taking the car.

Locally, there's a parade of shops around the corner on Rances Lane - with its butchers, convenience store, and a highly popular fish & chip shop. There's also family dining at The Foundry Bell, Oakingham Belle, & Three Frogs Pubs

With a large detached garage with powered door, easy parking, and a secluded garden, Silver Trees will serve the largest of families (including multi-generational ones). The layout is well-planned, with sensible room sizes and over 2,500 square foot of living space. Given its plot size and internal space, we feel certain that buyers will love the opportunity to create their own forever home in this idyllic location.

Well-placed for some of Wokingham's most sought-after schools means the children can walk to school- St Crispins Secondary, Floreat Montague Park Primary, and St Teresa's Catholic Academy are all a 12 or 13 minute walk away. Montague Park (accessed through Clay Lane), has dog-walking spaces and a modern Co-op. There's also the King George V playing fields nearby, and bus routes running to Wokingham, Reading & Bracknell (from London Road).

As Waterloo Road is now permanently closed to through-traffic and, with its set-back position from the road, this home is a wonderfully private retreat. We particularly love the downstairs room sizes and endless possibilities to re-imagine this space for today's lifestyle.

Please get in touch with Nick or Teresa at Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham, for more information or to discuss viewing arrangements - we're looking forward to showing you around!"
