Description

Nestled in a desirable area of Finchampstead, this four-bedroom detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on an expansive plot of nearly a quarter of an acre, the property offers significant potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning approvals. This residence has been held by the same family since its construction 65 years ago and is now available for sale, moving forward with the added benefit of no onward chain. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway featuring convenient storage options and access to all main living areas. To one side of the hallway lies a generous living room accentuated by a bay window, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The space seamlessly flows into the dining room, enhancing its appeal for social gatherings. The kitchen, equipped with varied eye-level and base units along with a central breakfast bar, leads directly to the garden—a practical layout for modern living. The property comprises three comfortably sized double bedrooms alongside a four-piece bathroom suite that includes both a separate shower and WC. These thoughtful design elements provide ample space for family living while also allowing for personal touches through renovation. Externally, the front of the home features a large driveway leading to a detached double garage. The rear garden is particularly noteworthy, offering substantial privacy and various areas including a vast patio—ideal for outdoor entertaining. The well-maintained lawn and additional side space present excellent possibilities for future expansion or landscaping. Many neighbors have successfully added extensions or converted their properties into two-story homes; thus, there is plenty of potential for development here as well. Alternatively, it could remain as a charming bungalow depending on your vision. Kiln Ride is conveniently located near California Crossroads with its range of local amenities and provides easy access to California Country Park—a popular spot spanning over 100 acres. Wokingham town center and train station are just a short drive away, catering well to commuters with quick connections via the A329M and M4 motorways. Additionally, families will appreciate proximity to both esteemed public and private schools in the area.
