House For Sale £850,000
Wokingham RG40

Beautifully-restored Victorian detached home in Wokingham town centre. Plenty of driveway parking, garage, workshop and garden studio. South-facing large & mature garden with fruit trees and a 'secret garden'.

With 1885 origins, every detail of Charnwood has been sympathetically refurbished - the result is the immense charm of a period home and the luxury and comfort of a modern build.

True to its era, the bedroom and reception rooms are similar in size, and of square proportions. The exception is the large upstairs bathroom which has hints of Victorian styling, and features a large shower enclosure, sleek bathtub, sash window and plenty of space for ablutions!

The downstairs wet-room is next to the boot room, so ideal for a hot shower after school sports matches, hosing down muddy dogs, or anyone with messy gardening or work clothes. The boot room has a back door, and a large utility range, sink, storage and downstairs loo.

The renovation included opening the kitchen and dining room into one space, and this gives a lovely flow through the house, and a sociable space for meals and entertaining.

The restoration retained chimney breasts and feature fireplaces, pantry, bay windows and storm porch with traditional clay tiles. All internal doors have been painstakingly restored, as has the staircase and storage cupboards. The roof has had new batons, breathable felt, soffit, facia, guttering & downpipes. The roof slates have been re-laid with original & reclaimed tiles, with new lead flashing applied.

The refurbishment included new windows, rear doors, heating system, electrics and re-wiring throughout. Outside, the garden has been beautifully landscaped including fences, new patio and outdoor lighting.

Charnwood is both perfectly-proportioned and perfectly-presented, and retains its original footprint. With its large plot, however, there's scope for the next owner to extend to the rear or side (subject to planning permission) and still retain a good balance of garden and internal size.

A Few Words from Quarters

"As you'd expect from a home so close to town, you can enjoy easy walks to Wokingham's wonderful restaurants, bars, coffee shops and eateries. Ironically, for a house with such generous parking, you may find you don't need so many cars as it's easy to walk to schools, bowling, swimming, library and gyms . The train station is a brisk 15 minute walk, and buses to Bracknell and Reading are just a few yards away.

Sitting close to All Saints Church, Charnwood enjoys the gentle bell-ringing on a Sunday (and Tuesday evenings practice!). The Cornerstone at All Saints provides varied community activities (including yoga and crafts), and the church itself has been adapted to provide social space for the wider community, to include a coffee shop and cultural events.

The 'local' is the Ship Inn, which is just 300 yards away - a landmark building in Wokingham with wonderful beers and a warm welcome!

Close by are the Elizabeth and King George V recreation parks, and some of Wokingham's most sought after schools - St Crispin's, Westende, Wescott (OFSTED Outstanding) and St Teresa's Catholic Primary school (also OFSTED Outstanding). Do check our School Finder tool on the map function for more schools.

We're really looking forward to showing buyers around this super home, so please get in touch with Nick or Teresa with questions or to arrange your viewing"
