West Road, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40

noir by david cliff- a setting like no other

This magnificent home is beautifully positioned in an immaculate courtyard setting shared only with four other high-end residences.

The setting is truly unique and is steeped in history, situated on the grounds of Easthampstead Park estate where King Henry VIII first set eyes on Catherine of Aragon. Records date back to at least the 7th century, when King Cynegils of Wessex had a home here.
The Cottage is approached via the long and meandering West Road which is beautifully lined with mature trees. The journey takes you past the renowned Downshire golf course before you arrive at this secluded hidden gem.

The property itself is a glorious sight to behold!
Situated at the end of a generous gravel driveway and occupying a sizeable plot with a beautiful wrap around garden that gives an overwhelming level of seclusion. This home effortlessly showcases English charm with its white rendered exterior, red tiled roof and dormer windows.
The setting is enhanced by its well-manicured front lawn where a striking red maple tree stands proudly, adding a beautiful splash of colour.

As you walk up the charming steps to the front door you are met with a picturesque entrance that sets the tone for what lies within. As you enter, you are immediately struck by the fabulous feeling of space. This home proudly boasts 3856 square feet of living accommodation, and as you walk around you notice not only the generous proportions of each area, but the remarkable scope and potential this property holds. Beautiful wooden beams are a theme throughout, and they really add to the property's character.
Upon entry you come to an impressive entrance hall to meet and greet. Turn left and you come to a spacious living room with a double width opening to a homely snug room with a fireplace. The area then leads through to a fabulous conservatory that overlooks the garden and next to this you will find the dining area that easily accommodates an 8-seat table. Gorgeous wooden flooring runs throughout and located on the edge of the east wing you'll find the kitchen which boasts ample cupboards, lots of surface space and a breakfast bar.
On the ground floor in the centre of the property you'll find a sizeable double bedroom with built in wardrobes and a small double (or large single bedroom) that is currently being used as a home office. You will also find a generously sized reception room which could easily be used as a second living room, games room, hobby room etc. Just off you'll find a fully serviced utility room and internal access to the spacious garage.

Upstairs on the property’s east wing you will find the principal bedroom which is impressively sized and features its own dressing room, along with a generously sized en-suite with a Juliette balcony that overlooks the garden. You will also find two further bedrooms, perfectly suited for a growing family or visiting guests. The larger of these boasts its own office and has a handy dressing area. Here you will also find another three-piece bathroom.
On the west wing you will find bedroom two which is also sizeable with more than enough space for larger items of furniture. Next to it, you'll find a large bathroom which also boasts a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden.

The garden to the rear is beautifully boarded by trees. This botanic setting is wonderfully peaceful and exceptionally private. The sunlight captures the entire garden beautifully. You will find a lovely lawn, a charming decking area and various fruit trees which enhance the garden’s appeal.

You could be forgiven for thinking that The Cottage is in a rural village however the neighbouring village of Crowthorne, market town of Wokingham and the bustling town of Bracknell with its regenerated Lexicon shopping centre are all within easy reach. The A329(M), M3 and M4 motorways and Heathrow Airport are all easily accessible, as are various local railway stations, affording easy access into London. The area provides several outstanding state and private schools and is easily accessible to local parks and woodland including Swinley Forest which provides over 2,600 acres of forestry, ideal for walkers and cyclist alike.

If you are seeking a forever family home that offers privacy, individuality, warmth and plenty of potential this could be the one for you.
