Property description
Apartment 4 Wolsley House is located on the first floor with an initially communal entrance at the rear of the house. The property is carefully maintained and beautifully presented, with generous room sizes and characterful features such as a working fireplace, original internal doors and sash windows. The apartment has the benefit of access to a secluded South facing balcony terrace, enjoying an open view over the beautifully maintained gardens.
The Victorian mansion house built around 1860 also has a long frontage to Station Road, originally the main street leading down to the river Thames from where a ferry used to travel across to Streatley on Thames on the Berkshire side of the river.
Of impressive architectural design and solid construction associated with the mid Victorian era, notable features include appealing brick elevations with decorative detailing and plinths, scalloped clay tile hanging in the gables, and an interesting multi gabled roof. In approximately 1893 a rear wing was added in a complimentary design expanding the accommodation and in more modern times the property was successfully converted into 6 Apartments of differing size and arrangement. Original features include heavy panelled doors, deep skirtings and door architraves, period ceiling cornicing and quality seasoned window joinery.
Outside
Wolsley House occupies a position in the heart of the village in a mature garden setting with park like grounds. Across the frontage is a lawned bank with a splayed entrance at one end having tall brick piers each side opening onto a private drive which leads to the garaging area and on to a forecourt area having designated parking bays for residents and visitors.
Fronting onto the Parking Area at the eastern end is a large detached Garage of period construction, which 4 Wolsley House currently rents from the Freehold Management Company (Currently £240p.a.) and it is thought this arrangement could continue subject to confirmation. There is the possibility to build a new garage on the site, subject to Freeholder and planning approval.
The gardens are a particular feature and lie mainly to the rear being beautifully maintained and containing a number of originally planted trees including lilac, cherry, Norwegian maple and Japanese acer and eucalyptus. There are extensive lawns interspersed by clipped yew hedges separating different areas, together with numerous beds and borders containing many specimen herbaceous plants and shrubs, and with neat gravelled pathways around part of the perimeter of the house itself and extending through into the gardens.
Further along the frontage of the house, on the same side as the main entrance, there are bricked steps leading down to a series of Cellar Rooms where are situated Store Rooms for each apartment.
In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately ¾ of an acre.
