5 bedroom detached house for sale in Wokingham

Ashridgewood Place is a fine example of an early Victorian farmhouse dating from 1870. Formerly housing the butler and cook for the adjacent Ashridgewood Manor House, the main body of the house has undergone extensive renovations, retaining period features whilst enjoying fabulous modern living spaces. With the adjoining buildings and garages there remains opportunity to further increase square footage and add greater value, subject to requisite building regulations and planning, but without any restrictions and complications associated with a listed building.

Set well back off Forest Road you approach the main house along a secluded and private driveway. Entering the house, you are met with a stunning entrance hall from which all the reception rooms are accessed. The three reception rooms – Drawing Room, Family Room and Study have retained their period charm whilst the modern open plan kitchen and dining space presents as the real Hub of the home opening up onto an original flagstone terrace. Period features have been kept throughout with particular note to the fireplaces and Douglas Fir doors.

Heading upstairs there are four bedrooms, The Principal, being en-suite with a private walk-out balcony taking in the panoramic views. There is a spacious family bathroom serving the three other bedrooms. The bathrooms are newly fitted with Critall finishes. Two of these bedrooms benefit from dressing rooms, one of which could be converted back to the original fifth bedroom.

With over 3.5 acres the gardens and land are a real feature of Ashridgewood with equestrian potential.

There is significant further potential to convert the attached coach house and stable block to living space and the garage to an annexe (subject to permissions).
