4 bed detached house for sale

Honey Hill, Wokingham, Berkshire RG40

Noir by David Cliff - this one will "thatch" your attention.

Nestled on one of the best roads in Wokingham and dating back to circa 1610 this stunning thatched cottage is steeped in history and dripping with character, and that's not even the best part. Despite its heritage, it isn't a listed building and therefore isn't as restricted as most properties of this age. The current owners have loved their time here, transforming this into a warm and welcoming home and caring for it all the while.

Pairing contemporary design with a wealth of character features the owners have tastefully updated the property in perfect harmony with its surroundings and we cannot wait to show you around. Originally a small cottage, it has been extended over the years and now offers versatile accommodation that is predominantly over one floor.

As you enter the property you are greeted with a cosy snug that centres around a working fireplace. The modern, refitted kitchen is adjacent to this with high specification integrated appliances and an intelligent design to incorporate the character features. Directly off the kitchen is an internal lobby and separate utility area complete with a large walk-in pantry and a downstairs bathroom. Across from the living room is the open plan formal dining area and family room which has a seating area overlooking the patio area of the garden.

A further wing provides two double bedrooms, one of which is the huge principal suite that has high ceilings, a range of built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, as well as great views out the front of the property. The third bedroom is located at the opposite end of the property, perfect for guests staying over. The fourth bedroom is another of the standout features of this home and adds to the charm of the property. Accessed via an external staircase, this bedroom has an external balcony overlooking all the grounds at the rear and its own en suite shower room. Personally, we'd consider this as a main bedroom ourselves as a morning coffee on the balcony would be a great way to start the day, but it could also be perfect for anyone with older children too. We'll let you decide.

Externally this property also has a lot to offer the next owners. Benefitting from an in and out driveway, as well as an additional gated driveway that leads to the four-garage block. Parking will never be a problem, and with the garden here you will always have visitors, so this is perfect.

The rear garden extends beyond the property and wraps around the side. It has been designed with outside entertaining in mind and has a raised barbecue area as well as a stunning patio area that has been recently laid to provide a perfect spot for outside seating and enjoying the sunny aspect. In keeping with the character of this home there is also a working well still on site, which isn't something you hear every day. As well as this, there is a double garage as well as two single garages, and numerous outbuildings too which could be re-purposed by the new owners and offers more potential, subject to local planning permission of course.
