PRIVATE SANCTUARY - Homes in locations like Doles Lane rarely need much introduction. Nestled within a delightful country lane setting, this magnificent detached home offers an enviable combination of rural tranquillity, generous accommodation and complete privacy.
Without question, Doles Lane is one of Wokingham's most prestigious residential addresses. Picturesque, peaceful and exceptionally well connected, it offers the very best of both worlds. Wokingham town centre and the train station are approximately 1.4 miles away, now benefiting from improved connections into London via the Elizabeth Line. For those who enjoy the outdoors, an abundance of beautiful countryside walks can be enjoyed directly from your doorstep.
The property also falls within the catchment area for some of the area's most highly regarded schools, including Evendons Primary School and Bohunt School. For families considering independent education, both Luckley House School and Ludgrove School are also within easy reach. A selection of welcoming country pubs are within strolling distance, while both the M3 and M4 motorways are readily accessible, making commuting remarkably convenient.
Set back behind electric gates, the property immediately creates a wonderful first impression. Occupying a generous wrap-around plot, it enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy from the moment you arrive. Originally constructed in 1956 and thoughtfully extended in 1967, the home has remained in the ownership of the same family ever since—a wonderful testament to both the property itself and the lifestyle it offers.
Mature gardens embrace the home, creating a peaceful sanctuary where the soundtrack is birdsong and the graceful flight of red kites overhead is simply part of everyday life.
Step inside and you'll find a home that has been thoughtfully designed around modern family living. At the heart of it all is a stunning 24ft x 24ft open-plan kitchen and dining room, creating an incredible social space that's equally suited to busy family life as it is to entertaining friends. Flooded with natural light and enjoying lovely views across the gardens, it's easy to imagine this becoming the room where everyone naturally gathers.
Complementing this is a spacious dual-aspect living room, providing the perfect place to relax at the end of the day, while a separate study offers an ideal work-from-home space. A practical utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete a ground floor that perfectly balances style with everyday practicality.
Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with four excellent double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, while the guest bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, creating a layout that's perfectly suited to growing families or those who regularly welcome guests.
Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the accommodation within. Wrapping effortlessly around the property, they offer an exceptional level of privacy, generous lawns, mature planting and plenty of space for children to play, summer entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying the tranquillity that makes this setting so special.
Modern comforts haven't been overlooked either. The property benefits from a Solar PV system with 9.5 Kwh battery storage, generating a valuable income through the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme, alongside an Air Source Heat Pump providing efficient, low-carbon heating. The home also benefits from a three-phase electrical supply, with one phase available for electric vehicle charging, ensuring it's every bit as future-proof as it is characterful.
