Open house planned for future proof family home
A HOME from the roaring twenties is being placed on to the local property market by Wokingham estate agents Martin & Co.
Dating back to 1929, this four-bedroom detached family home has been substantially extended and refurbished to a high standard by its current owners over the past 10 years as their family home with attention to detail throughout.
With new electrics, new plumbing and heating, a new roof and new timber throughout it has all the advantages of a new build while retaining the character and substantial plot size of the original property.
And the owners are looking forward to welcoming potential buyers at an open house event on Saturday, June 24.
Beautifully and sensitively refurbished, the downstairs has solid oak flooring throughout and two open fireplaces.
An entrance hall leads to the downstairs rooms: a front-facing study of 11ft 11in by 6ft 4in has a bay window, as does a 13ft 6in by 4ft 11in family room, which could be converted into a bedroom.
The living room is 22ft 3in by 15ft 4in and has french doors leading out into the garden and a gorgeous fireplace.
The kitchen/dining room is 22ft 3in by 11ft 10in. The kitchen area boasts fitted worktops with built-in appliances and a back door that overlooks the garden.
There is a cupboard under the stairs leading to the first floor.
The three bedrooms upstairs are all doubles. The master bedroom is 14ft 8in by 10ft 9in and features an ensuite and a dressing room. There is also access to the eaves for more storage areas.
The second bedroom is 12ft 4in by 9ft 2in, and also has access to storage areas in the eaves. The third bedroom is 9ft 9in by 9ft 1in.
Opposite it is the bathroom and a storage cupboard.
Outside, the grounds are secluded and there is a patio area perfect for installing chairs and tables and watching little ones play in the expansive gardens which are mostly laid to lawn.
There is ample parking on site.
Mike Townend, managing director of Martin & Co’s Wokingham branch, said: “This might be an older home, but it’s as modern as they come.
“The current owners have respected the heritage of this building while adapting it for the 21st century. Large and spacious and close to several excellent local schools it is a perfect family home.
“And for those who like partying, there is plenty of room for entertaining.”
It is offered to the market for £720,000, has no onward chain and is in council tax band E.
