barkham road, Wokingham, RG41 4TL

The property is approached via a private lane running through open farmland and is beautifully presented as the current owners have just completed a refurbishment and extension project. The ground floor offers generous and adaptable accommodation with a particularly impressive kitchen/breakfast/family room which has only just been fitted with a range of attractive units with composite stone work surfaces, induction hob with ‘down draught’ extractor, large fridge/freezer and wine cooler, dishwasher and under lighting. With its vaulted ceiling and wide sliding doors to the deck which overlooks the garden, this is sure to become the hub of family life. The 4 reception rooms ensure that there are plenty of options for formal entertaining and family spaces and have retained much of their character with lovely wooden flooring, original open fireplaces, moulded cornice and ceiling rose and new Victorian style radiators. On the first floor the principal suite is certainly noteworthy with a full height and width glass ‘wall’ overlooking the garden and farmland beyond. It also has a generous dressing area and luxurious bathroom with walk-in shower and freestanding Victorian style bath. Outside, there is plenty of parking on the gravelled driveway and a barn set to one side which offers great storage options. The raised decking directly outside of the kitchen is a super place to entertain in the summer and you also have a very nicely fitted garden ‘pub’ to enjoy. The whole plot extends to about 1.2 acres.
