With the tiled cloakroom with shower, and utility room to the side, this area is ideal for sports kits, muddy walkers, dogs and gardeners. There is also easy access to the double integral garage.

The formal lounge enjoys light and views over the garden, with a deep and sumptuous window seat, picture railing, French doors and period fireplace. With double doors opening to the adjoining study, this space could open out for large parties and special occasions. The large study has shuttered windows, feature fireplace, high ceiling, and picture railing.

5 bedrooms House in Finchampstead Road, Wokingham RG40
Luckley View occupies a generous plot with an impressive driveway and beautiful gardens. This style extends through the design of a wide, gentle staircase, and then to the spacious landing with light from its lovely balcony and French doors. Keeping the roomy feel, the practical cloakroom's vestibule will hide away the family's coats, boots and everyday clutter. Most importantly for today's household is the 'family hub' - this comprises the kitchen, of course, together with the family and garden rooms. Unlike fully open-plan kitchens, this versatile layout allows the creation of zones for family activities or - for parties and entertaining - the space can flow as one large reception area. The garden room itself is perfect for casual mealtimes or morning coffee with the papers. A corner wood-burning stove creates mood and atmosphere for relaxing evenings, and the roof is designed to keep the room warm in the winter, and freshly cool in the summer. The family room, currently used as a snug, could become a breakfast room or younger kids' playroom. With underfloor heating and adjoining the garden room, this space is both full of light and pleasantly cosy. The well-proportioned lounge features a beautiful bay window which overlooks the garden, and enjoys additional light from the two side windows which flank the stone fireplace and gas fire. The dining room features an attractive bay window and steals extra light from the two side windows. It's ample enough in size for hosting dinner parties and large family Christmases too. For those working from home, the study is perfectly-placed for quiet focus, but not too far from the kettle or front door for visitors and deliveries. For serious cooks, and those with busy mealtimes, the kitchen features several welcome surprises! Fitted with an integrated fan oven and a separate 6-burner Stoves range cooker, there are no compromises when it comes to entertaining. The work-surfaces are extra deep for serious food preparation, and the stainless steel sink was fitted especially to take large pots, pans and racks. The kitchen is equipped with an integrated dishwasher, microwave, water softener, integrated fridge, and space for the additional fridge/freezer. It also has a chimney extractor hood, plenty of storage and a useful dresser unit. The utility room, which sits between the kitchen and integral garage, has a range of fitted units, stainless steel sink and a washing machine. With a door leading to the side passage this is the ideal space for laundry days and returning dog-walkers. Each of Luckley View's bedrooms has an individual feel, and even the smallest room can accommodate a double bed and furniture. The Master Suite, with its calm tones, has pleasant views over the garden, with plenty of light from its set of three leaded-light windows. A range of fitted wardrobes is cleverly designed to create a discreet dressing area. The tiled en-suite bathroom includes a large walk-in shower, illuminated mirrored wall cabinets, and a full-sized bath. Bedrooms Three and Four, both of a double size, are given character with eaves windows and views across the lawn. They each have plenty of room for wardrobes and bedroom cabinets. Bedroom Five, which overlooks the front, could make a perfect children's room with space for bunk and guest beds. It has built-in wardrobes and plenty of additional eaves storage for games and toys. The main family bathroom is fitted with a classic white suite, chrome telephone-style bath taps, plenty of built-in storage, and a modern shower enclosure.

6 bedrooms House in London Road, Wokingham RG40
Modern day elegance meets Victorian character. Impeccable 6 bedroom detached home set over 3 floors. Exquisite, artisanal attention to detail throughout. Opulent principal suite, incredible kitchen/family room, underfloor heating, landscaped garden, driveway parking, garage, town centre location. There's no doubt that this is a good-looking house externally. The classic Victorian red-brick and bay window frontage that overlooks the drive has a pleasing symmetry. While the anthracite grey sash window frames and hand-crafted front door with side glazed privacy panels hint at the tasteful modernity of what lies behind. Stepping through the door, the hall stretches out in front of you. The view is aided by the fact that the staircase on the right rises back towards you, but its open, floating nature means the hall retains a sense of space. Immediately on your left are the part glazed double doors to the sitting room, a large but cosy space with one of those pretty bay windows at the far end. The entire ground floor has underfloor heating and the real wood floors in this room add to the cosy but modern aesthetic. Opposite the doors to the sitting room are one of the sets of double doors used to access the large dining room. You probably first notice the enormous, six-metre, air-sliding glazed doors opposite, offering oodles of natural light and uninterrupted views into the garden. Then your eyes turn to the Kitchen itself, taking in the large island with split levels, one for cooking and one for eating at. The sink with its rinser tap and second rinser sink is also mounted in the island and the stylish leather-granite worktops look sleek and sophisticated against the clean lines of the kitchen units, of which there are plenty by the way, meaning loads of storage is available. Extended lighting at both floor level and in the shelving really helps bring the space to life and lovely touches like an under-counter wine fridge and plenty of worktop space for appliances make this space as attractive as it is practical. Equally, integrated appliances are of a level befitting a bespoke Kitchen such as this with Smeg induction hob and built in Neff multifunction ovens and microwave. Opposite the Kitchen is the family room area which is a lovely sized space and just as terrific for a quick coffee and chat as it is for sitting down to watch a movie. In one corner a door leads you through to the well laid out utility room with more worktop and cupboard space as well as places for all your white goods appliances. This is also where the CCTV system runs from and is viewable with cameras covering the drive and garage for added peace of mind. At one end of the utility is a beautifully decorated downstairs WC and next to that is the side door out to the garden for easy access to the garage. Climbing the stairs to the first floor, immediately on your left is bedroom 5, a good-sized double room at the front of the house with those characteristically high ceilings contributing to the sense of space. Directly opposite is bedroom 4, a nigh-on mirror image of bedroom 5 thanks to the symmetry of the original frontage of the house. Along the landing on your right is the family bathroom. An immaculately decorated room featuring two windows, wall and floor tiling, a large freestanding double-ended bath and matching sink. Next door to the family bathroom is the showstopping principal suite. This a grand room on a unparallelled scale, with a beautiful glass Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. Tastefully decorated and with a feeling of genuine opulence, the bedroom area is spacious and open, tipping the scales at nearly 400 square feet on its own. Add to that the well-equipped walk-in cupboard and dressing room area and the stunningly finished en suite, with its attractive Italian tiling, large walk-in shower with rainfall head and rinser, and double sinks, and it's easy to understand why this is a truly special space to call your own. Turning right out of this incredible room takes you along the landing to bedroom 6 which is another great sized room making a terrific home office or guest room. Just before the entrance to that room is the second staircase which provides access to the top floor. Up here you find two really generous en-suite bedrooms (bedroom 2 and 3), both with double Velux windows and great sized bathrooms, as well as additional eaves storage cupboards for tucking away those suitcases, ski gear or Christmas decorations!

5 bedrooms House in Old Wokingham Road, Wokingham RG40
Set behind private electric gates and sitting within 0.75 acres of carefully maintained gardens, this attractive, extended Victorian home offers a balance of character, space and privacy -- all within easy reach of Crowthorne and Wokingham. The entrance hall offers practical places for hanging coats and hiding shoes. To the left is the cosy, dual-aspect sitting room / snug. A well-proportioned, bright room with a central gas living-flame fireplace which could be reverted to an open fire if preferred. This is the only part of the downstairs that adjoins the neighbouring property and as you leave the room and head in to the dining hall, you realise how much more there is to this house. The dining hall is a versatile space; happy as a separate dining area or large reception space, it provides access in three other independent directions to the stairs, the kitchen and the rest of the downstairs accommodation as well as the under-stairs WC. It also features another fireplace, again converted to gas living flame currently. Work and play are both important in equal measure and this house delivers on both fronts in abundance. Along the corridor from the dining hall, you pass the office on your right-hand side; a calm and tranquil space tucked away and overlooking the greenery of the front courtyard garden. At the far end of the corridor is the beautiful family/cinema room which is an open-plan space connecting directly with bright and elegant orangery - the perfect indoor dining space if your preference is for a larger reception hall instead of a dining hall. As mentioned, the orangery also provides direct access to the front courtyard garden giving the overall flow of the house a lovely feel. In the expansive family / cinema room, clever storage solutions like the pocket-doors on the full-height cupboards mean you can convert the space into cinema mode really easily, with the projector screen electronically dropping down from the ceiling but being totally concealed when not in use. A set of French doors connect you to the rear garden and around the room are some wonderful design choices such as the deco pepper-pot radiators. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and has been fantastically well connected to the outside space via bifold doors which open on to a covered, enclosed and heated outdoor terrace. This space is a true extension of the kitchen and features the same Italian porcelain tiling for an indoor/outdoor experience. Whilst offering a practical space to cook, the kitchen is as stylish as you might expect with copper splashbacks adding flare and off-setting the classically neutral palette - evidenced nowhere better than by the polished concrete-effect worktops. All of this has been implemented around standout features such as underfloor heating, a beautiful gas fired 2-oven AGA, double sink with boiling water tap, chef's table inspired island / breakfast bar with a 2-zone wine fridge below and the cleverly tucked away utility area in one corner. This is a bright and sociable space, perfect for everything from cosy coffee chats. to family meals, to summer barbecues and everything in between. The sizeable principal bedroom is dual aspect and includes an intelligent use of built-in storage space and lots of natural light via the multiple windows. There's also a chic, underfloor-heated en suite bathroom with a 4-piece suite and bespoke tiling in the walk-in shower. Should you want to extend the suite even further, the 5th bedroom (single room) is directly adjacent, and the entire area can be closed off as a private space, meaning the 5th bedroom can become an ideal nursery, perfect dressing room or perhaps an additional office space if you don't need all 5 bedrooms. Bedroom 2 is also dual aspect and spacious with an en suite including a bath. Along the landing you pass bedroom 3, another good-sized double overlooking the front of the house, followed by the spacious family bathroom with large walk-in shower. At the far end of the house, above the sitting room / snug, is bedroom 4 -- another double aspect double room spanning the house from front to back. Outside, the house is accessed via a large, gated driveway with parking for in excess of 10 cars should you need it, plus a detached double garage with potential for conversion to an annexe (STPP). The gardens have been designed and implemented with love and care and offer the perfect blend of open lawns, mature planting, pretty borders and plenty of place to sit out and enjoy your labours, perhaps sharing a bottle of wine or a hot chocolate around the fire-pit.

4 bedrooms House in Heathlands Road, Wokingham RG40
Set in a country lane in a semi-rural location, and secluded grounds of around three quarters of an acre. Found in a quiet lane along Heathlands Road, this spacious family home provides a peaceful setting and plenty of scope to adapt as family needs change. Deaconfield House is a rewarding find for those looking for space, privacy and decent-sized rooms. Each of the four principal bedrooms could accommodate King-size (or even Emperor) beds, and there is scope to convert the current office into a large, fifth, double bedroom. The main reception rooms are all of generous sizes, with a wonderful fireplace, interior windows and bay window in the living room. The dining room opens directly to the conservatory, and a second set of doors gives access to a covered terrace - ideal for barbecues and buffets. The kitchen and breakfast room are naturally zoned by the L-shaped design and the contrast of the striking vaulted ceiling of the fitted kitchen. With natural timber units, stone floor tiles, Butler's-style sink, range cooker and practical cabinetry, this kitchen has been designed for family life and grand-scale entertaining. The bedrooms are arranged with a good balance of bathrooms, including two en-suites. The two bedrooms without en-suites could easily be adapted to have their own bathrooms, although the large family bathroom and cloakroom are conveniently placed to serve these bedrooms well. The conservatory, which is over seven metres wide, is aproned by timber decking and overlooks the secluded garden and grounds. There is a cosy additional room which has a stained glass window and could lend itself to yoga, crafts, gaming, nursery, study, or a place to focus. This home's versatility could extend to converting the layout to provide a self-contained annexe, nanny quarters or perhaps space for business clients (without impacting family life). The owners inform us that Deaconfield House has, over recent months, benefited from considerable re-furbishment work, including carpets, wood flooring, electrical upgrades, plasterwork, screeding, replacement conservatory in 2018 and, in 2016, replacement double-glazing windows and doors. The plot, which is around 0.75 acres, includes two double gated entrances and driveways, a brick-built detached garage, lawns, mature trees and hedging, elevated decking and a timber shed. Deaconfield House has two separate gated driveways (one serving the garage), and may have been intended to create two freeholds as per the titles' structure. There may be potential, subject to planning consents and buyer due diligence, to build a separate home in the grounds.
