Cricket Hill, Finchampstead, Wokingham, RG40 3TN

A slice of the good life, set in desirable Finchampstead. Built in approximately 1850, The Gables is a charming character cottage with character features throughout. Just a short distance from The Greyhound, Simons Wood and desirable local schools, including Wellington College. The property offers 1,860sqft of extended and well appointed living accommodation including a glorious open plan kitchen diner, home office and fabulous south-west facing garden.

To the ground floor the entrance hall gives access to the large kitchen dining space with a lovely sociable feel, and patio doors out to the garden. There's a handy utility room too, which gives access to the double garage. The spacious sitting room enjoys views over the garden and a character decorative fireplace. Also downstairs is a study, perfect for those working from home, a second reception room which works as a dining room or kids playroom and a shower room. Heading upstairs the character features continue with striking beams. The primary bedroom is flooded with natural light through the velux windows, has plenty of fitted wardrobe space and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom is also a generous double size also with wardrobes; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upstairs.

The garden is a peaceful haven, with sociable patio for alfresco dining, lawn and shed. The current owner enjoys growing a range of veg which flourish in the south-west facing sunshine. Not overlooked by neighbours, and made to feel more private by the mature planted borders. To the front, there's further planting and a gated gravel driveway for multiple vehicles, and access to the double garage.

The property is located within easy reach of both the M3 and M4 motorways and provides good access to Wokingham town centre and Crowthorne's independent shops and eateries. Wokingham and Crowthorne mainline railway station is also easily accessible and gives access to Reading, London Waterloo and Gatwick Airport. The desirable Finchampstead C of E Primary School is just round the corner, and further desirable secondary schools are within easy reach.
