2 bed maisonette for sale

Marlborough Court, Wokingham RG40

Description

A short stroll into Wokingham's market town, a spacious two-storey maisonette with secure garage & allocated parking.

The landscaped grounds and cul-de-sac setting make this an ideal find if you love stepping in to town, but crave the quiet life too.

Once inside, this maisonette actually has the feel of a terraced house ~ with a private entrance, stairs & landings, and upstairs bedrooms which are not overlooked (so feel secluded) . With gas central heating, recently-replaced windows, and a leafy outlook, this home feels like a comfortable sanctuary... And, with its two-storey layout, there's plenty of natural light and a quiet outlook.

Marlborough Court is in a smart neighbourhood with well-maintained grounds, and is super-convenient for all that Wokingham has to offer. There's a long lease, and a very low service charge of around £80 per month for the upkeep of the grounds.

Although described as a 'two-storey' maisonette, it's actually arranged over three floors (with a ground floor entrance just before the first flight of stairs). This separation from the outside world gives a calm feeling of 'coming home'.

With a kitchen / breakfast room which is large enough for a table of four, it's not only ideal for everyday meals, but also for coffee or drinks with friends. It also has plenty of prepping space and excellent storage (including a large corner pantry unit), and integrated oven, extractor, and gas hob.

The living room, which has sensible proportions, enjoys a leafy outlook over the communal gardens. There's also a large storage cupboard under the stairs, and plenty of light from its south-easterly facing window.

Up to the top floor, Bedroom One is wide and spacious (with yet more leafy views!), has built-in storage, and space for a full bedroom furniture set (including King Size bed). This room enjoys the morning sun, which is a treat to wake up to.

The bathroom has recently been re-fitted with a luxurious large shower enclosure, power shower, clever storage, and tasteful tiling. We particularly love the on-off control outside the shower, which means the shower can get steaming hot and 'just right' before stepping in.

Bedroom Two is perfect for guests, remote workers, or a child's bedroom. With fitted storage, there's also a lovely alcove window which takes a desk or dressing table.

On a practical note, there's useful bike / utility storage close to the front door, a garage in a smart block (with pitched tiled roof), and good visitors' parking (in addition to the property's allocated parking, which is close to the front door).

With a very reasonable service charge, no ground rent, and a long lease (extended to 146 years), this property gives the assurance of sensible running costs. The garage has an extended lease too, with no ground rent or running costs. With its gas central heating and recently-replaced double glazing and front door, this home looks smart, but has also been improved to its full potential energy efficiency (rated 78 / 78 C).

A Few Words from Quarters

"Marlborough Court is a quiet backwater of Wiltshire Drive, and just five minutes' walk to Wokingham town centre, with its regular markets, coffee shops, eateries and a vibrant community. Wokingham is also home to High Street favourite retailers such as Boots, Robert Dyas, Waitrose and Waterstones. Its location is also handy for the train station, with regular services to Gatwick, Guildford, London Waterloo & Reading (where the Crossrail / Elizabeth Line links to London Paddington in under 30 mins on the fastest service).

Turning right, away from town, there's a quiet walk to the beautiful Cantley Park, with over 77 acres of green space to explore; with ancient trees, deer, play park, tennis and other sports facilities. There's also a coffee shop, theatre, and Miltons restaurant. Wokingham, of course, also has a bowling alley, indoor pool, gyms, parks, Everyman Cinema and library.

Although buyers will love the kitchen / breakfast room (ideal for having friends over), we can imagine how tempting it will be to walk to the wonderful pubs, restaurants and eateries in town. With just a five minute walk home, this apartment promises a super-easy lifestyle. Finally, with Waitrose as the 'corner shop' the new owner will be spoilt for choice.

If you're looking for convenience, easy parking, and a peaceful setting, this apartment will be quite a find!
