Uniquely-placed for a peaceful lifestyle in the heart of Wokingham town. Extensively refurbished in 2024, this smart home has ample parking, a detached garage, and the benefit of planning permission to create a two storey / four bedroom home in the future.

Sandy Bank, which dates back to the Victorian era, has an attractive frontage in Gipsy Lane, and driveway access from Langborough Road to the rear. Set on an elevated spot in a quiet lane, this home is perfectly positioned for sun-lovers, pet-lovers, and avid gardeners.

Super-convenient for Wokingham's shops, eateries, bars and coffee shops, yet also just moments away from Gipsy Lane allotments & the peaceful Langborough Recreation Ground. There's also a pleasant walk to Elms Field, the Carnival Hub & Pool, library and railway station. For keen walkers, there's footbridge access over the tracks for a ramble around Chapel Green, Ludgrove and Gorrick Woods.

Refurbishment and renovation works include new boiler, heating system, loft insulation, roof tiling work, flooring, plasterwork, groundworks, drainage & landscaping. Sandy Bank also has a smart new kitchen with integrated appliances, two new bathrooms, new carpets, and internal doors.

The kitchen / breakfast room has striking giant floor tiles, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, larder fridge & freezer, oven, extractor & gas hob. This well-planned room has space for table and chairs, and a back door which opens to a sunny (west-facing) brick block-paving patio.

The Master Bedroom has an en-suite shower, and both bathrooms have tasteful white suites finished with beautiful Italian wall tiles. The living room has timber flooring, a feature fireplace, and enjoys natural light from two windows. The second bedroom also gets plenty of sunlight from both windows, and has a feature fireplace and storage in the alcove. The smallest bedroom, whilst large enough for a small double bed and furniture, is shown on the photos as a home study.

Recent landscaping includes turf and young shrubs, so the grounds should have more screening as this matures.

A Few Words from Quarters

"The frontage of Sandy Bank from Gipsy Lane is particularly pretty, with its rustic post & rail fencing, newly turfed lawn, smart timber open porch, and symmetrical lines.

If you're looking for single-storey living and step-free access, Sandy Bank offers exactly this through its Langborough Road driveway to the rear.

Similarly, if you're looking for a 'turnkey' home in one of Wokingham's prime areas, but may want to add space and value, the current planning permission to extend upwards and outwards should be appealing.

Set on the edge of a Conservation Area, this part of town is pre-dominantly Victorian and Edwardian character properties, so it's quite rare to secure a home here with such easy parking. Ironically, living here you're not likely to use a car so much with everything within a few hundred yards of home. There's a nearby footpath from Langborough Road to Denmark Street & Peach Street), and a lovely walk to town through the tree-lined path on Langborough Recreation Ground.

Offered for sale in neutral tones, and no onward chain, Sandy Bank is a unique find which should be a low-maintenance property that promises to be a wonderful home for its new owner. Please get in touch with Anne or Teresa at Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham - we're looking forward to showing you around!"
