Forest Road, Hurst / Wokingham

Built to meticulous standards in 2021, this substantial home offers over 5,600 sq ft of luxury living space. Detached four bay garage, expansive driveway parking, and a plot size of nearly 1.5 acres.

Designed with a large two storey annex, the versatile layout also works seamlessly as one large and well-balanced family home.

For guests, teens, or home business, there's also a modern 'Chalet-style' one bedroom cabin, with en-suite shower and full kitchen facilities.

With an impressive frontage, easy parking, and galleried hallway, The Vale offers a very warm welcome home. Styling includes natural timbers, architectural apex glazing, and a cascade of glass chandelier light fitting. Art Deco themed glazed internal doors add an under-stated elegance, and allow plenty of natural light to flow throughout the ground floor.

The statement kitchen and dining room features solid timber units, central island with breakfast bar, bifold doors, and integrated German appliances. Extra touches include a back-lit pantry unit, Qooker on-demand hot water tap, and bifold windows to open out the garden view (and allow the sunlight to flood the kitchen).

The south-facing terrace, which steps out from the kitchen bifold doors, enjoys full afternoon and evening sunshine. The garden is divided into lawn area and a well-tended kitchen garden, with herbs and fresh garden produce. There's also a small art studio, and a large gardeners' shed.

The grounds include a large parcel of land, around 0.6 acres - ideal for paddock land. The driveway parking is exceptional, with easy parking for multiple cars. The four bay garaging is a substantial timber structure with steel-framed timber doors and timber steps to attic mezzanine storage.

Attention to detail includes bespoke window shutters, cast iron radiators and wood-burning stove in the living room. The whole property has a sophisticated Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system. The MVHR ensures high air quality throughout and also regulates humidity levels - this creates a healthy, comfortable environment and optimises energy efficiency too. There's gas-fired under-floor heating throughout the ground and first floors, and this system (including radiators) can by controlled digitally by app, and zoned to each room individually.

All five first floor bedrooms are generous doubles in size, with en-suites to three of the bedrooms. Each south-facing bedroom has a charming Juliet balcony, and the Master Bedroom has a double door entrance, walk-in wardrobe, and tasteful en-suite with shower enclosure.

The family bathroom has a spa feel, with large shower enclosure, ambient lighting, twin basins, and free-standing bath tub.

The entire second floor offers nearly 70sqm (747 sq ft) of versatile living space - this is ideal as a media room, sixth bedroom, games room or home office.

The integral annex, which is partitioned by doors, is ideal for visiting guests or as permanent accommodation for family - incorporating two of the en-suite bedrooms upstairs, the annex also has its own living room, kitchen / diner, utility and cloakroom. Although it can be accessed through the main staircase, it has its own dedicated lift.

On the practical side, this home has a large utility & boot room, ample cloaks storage, separate cloakroom, and water softener. There is also the remaining BuildZone Home Warranty (approx 6.5 years)
