4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale

Unique & exciting opportunity to update a wonderful water-side home in one of Wokingham’s prime residential roads. This detached home has good potential to remodel, refurbish and possibly extend, with an unbeatable setting next to Windmill Pond.
Chestnut Avenue is a wide, tree-lined road of mainly large detached homes. Aptly named Waters Edge, this is one of just a handful of homes with restful views over the pond. This peaceful setting, with its south-westerly facing garden, means beautiful wildlife displays throughout changing seasons, and endless sunsets over the calm waterside.
The new owners of Waters Edge will enjoy fishing rights for two rods, and the grounds and garden are both beautifully-kept and full of healthy-looking life.
Reassuringly, as the pond’s water is purely supplied by underground springs, and not a river tributary, this property is not in a flood risk area (source: Environment Agency, March 2026).
This home was originally built with three bedrooms in the 1950s, and has since been converted to provide a fourth bedroom annex quarters with separate living space, small kitchenette, and shower room downstairs. It will certainly require modernisation, but the possibilities to extend over the garage, into the garage, or into the garden (subject to planning consents) will be quite compelling to buyers with an appetite to create a large, bespoke home.
Waters Edge gives a welcome home-coming, with smart border fencing, large gravel driveway, and a beautiful cherry blossom tree by the entrance. There’s ample parking, but also room to increase the hardstanding and driveway area by re-landscaping. The garden, which has been well-tended and nurtured, offers a good degree of privacy (with morning-to-evening sunshine)
Ideally-placed for some of Wokingham’s best schooling - Hawthorns Primary, Windmill Primary, and St Paul’s CofE, Emmbrook Secondary & Junior Schools (all OFSTED rated GOOD), and Walter Infant School, Emmbrook Infant, and the Holt Secondary Schools (all OFSTED rated OUTSTANDING)
