Description

Substantial period home, with annex, in one of Wokingham's most sought-after addresses. The location of this attractive home would be hard to improve upon - a private road setting, West-facing garden backing onto parkland, and just a few steps to woodland walks from the garden gate. South Drive is completely tucked away from traffic, yet is in the very heart of Wokingham town. This home has kept much of its period 1920s styling, and has evolved beautifully with modern twists for today's lifestyle. Detailed cornicing, wood-burning stoves, wooden floors and high ceilings retain the character, and bifold doors and replacement windows take care of the creature comforts. Whilst the current owners have configured the 3,000 square feet into a four bedroom home and one bedroom annex, there is scope to re-instate this to a large family home. The principal house has a lovely-sized kitchen / dining room with bi-fold doors opening onto the patio terrace. The garden faces to the west, so twilight dining and warmth in the kitchen should have a wonderful, warm atmosphere. Each of the five bedrooms is double in size, with an equal number of bathrooms. The Master Bedroom has a beautiful en-suite with large shower enclosure, double basins, and free-standing bath tub. The annex accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen / dining room, a utility room, and a wonderful living room with roof lantern and outside terrace. There's a communicating door to the main house - so ideal for creating a larger family home, but also perfect for flexible living space for growing families. With ample driveway parking, there are five outside storage buildings and a large timber workshop. There is also the benefit of a spacious timber garden office/studio/gym. With its private road setting, this home is just a short walk to the unique and vibrant town of Wokingham. Wokingham frequently appears on league tables of the Best Places to Live in the UK, and has recently benefited from a £270m regeneration. Locals enjoy a wide range of pubs, eateries and coffee shops including Gail's Bakery, Nando's, Costa, Cafe Nero and Pizza Express. There are plenty of independent restaurants, wine bars, and even a gin bar in the new Peach Place. For groceries Wokingham has a large Waitrose, Aldi and Tesco. There is a selection of clothing retailers including Mountain Warehouse, M & Co and Edinburgh Woollen Mill, there are also lovely boutiques such as Purple Butterfly, Elle Won, Mimi's and Oliver Bonas.

There's also a recently-opened boutique Everyman cinema in the Elms Field Development and the town hosts music festivals, carnivals and seasonal town events. By road, Wokingham is well-connected for the M3 and M4, and for High Street retail shopping both Bracknell and Reading are within easy reach (including by bus).
