Summary - OLD OAK COURT THE COTTAGE WEST ROAD WOKINGHAM RG40 3DL
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious six-bedroom family home on a large private plot near Wokingham.
Secluded courtyard setting shared with only four other homes
Set in a secluded courtyard shared with only four other high-end homes, this six-bedroom detached cottage offers substantial family living on a generous, private plot. The property combines period character — exposed beams, bay windows and traditional brickwork — with flexible accommodation across 3,856 sq ft, including multiple reception rooms, a conservatory and an integral garage. The wrap-around garden, mature planting and fruit trees give a strong sense of privacy and space for children and outdoor living.
The cottage has clear scope and potential: large rooms, an impressive principal suite with dressing room and en-suite, plus ground-floor bedroom and versatile reception space suitable for a playroom, home office or additional living area. The long gravel driveway and garage provide ample parking, and the setting near Downshire Golf Course and local woodland paths makes this a peaceful family base within easy reach of Wokingham, Crowthorne and Bracknell.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction. The house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so upgrading insulation and modernising some services may be needed. Broadband speeds are slow in the area. Overall the home is structurally attractive and full of character but will reward buyers willing to invest in energy-efficiency and cosmetic updating to bring it fully up to modern standards.
This home will suit families seeking character, space and seclusion with good local schooling and easy road links to the M3/M4 and rail connections. It represents a rare opportunity to create a long-term family home with scope to personalise and improve while enjoying an exceptional historical setting.
