Milley Road, Waltham St. Lawrence, Reading, Berkshire, RG10

The history and tradition of the village made this a special place to move to. Woodside House used to be called ‘The Police House’ and was previously owned by Thames Valley Police. Such quirkiness and the large plot made this a must have.

The spacious living area and garden of our house are what attracted us to it 21 years ago. We have had such fun entertaining our friends and family here. We knocked thru the utility room(holding cell) into the kitchen so that it is big enough to have a table and cooking area to eat and socialise together in this relaxed space or eat in the back dining space when we had warmer weather with the doors open to the garden.

Milley Road is quiet during the day and just becomes a little more active school run time.

We are a few minutes walk from The Pound, the centre of the village and The Bell Inn - the pub owned by the village. We have a mobile post office and the bus stop at The Pound for buses into local towns. We are also very close to Twyford with all main facilities.

It’s time to downsize and move to our dream county of Devon.

WOW, just wow! This is one of those homes that presents a rare opportunity! Most seek the house but with Woodside House you are buying a location to make your forever home. Waltham St. Lawrence is one of those beautiful village locations that goes under the radar. Close to all the amenities you could want (including the Elizabeth Line from Twyford) but rural enough you truly feel like you are out in the wilderness. So many picturesque walks and horse/bike riding routes to explore and with The Pound (village centre to outsiders) just a short distance away, Woodside House offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone wishing to place a sizeable stamp in the countryside.

Waltham St. Lawrence Primary is rated Outstanding and for secondary schooling there are a few options but locally Piggott is the sought-after choice and you fall within the catchment here.

The property does require modernisation but when you compare the existing home (positioned within 0.23 acres) to those homes in close proximity, it becomes very clear that anyone prepared to put the work in will gain substantial benefit further down the line.
