For Sale6 Bedroom Detached House in Rose Street, Wokingham£750,000

This is a rare chance to acquire a piece of Wokingham's history. This beautiful, Grade II listed building designed across five storeys has been tastefully improved by the current owner and now benefits from contemporary décor throughout. Records for the property date back to the mid-18th century, starting off as a warehouse before becoming a gamekeeper's lodge for Windsor Park and then as a residence for the well known Gadd family in the 1800s. Locals will remember the property once as "Dollshouse Boutique", selling up-market clothing and fashion accessories. Three stone steps with plaid iron handrails lead up to the front door, complete with architrave. As you enter the property, you are immediately met with dual aspect dining room and living room. Each of these rooms has it's own fireplace. The lower ground floor is accessed via staircase between the two rooms and has a modern kitchen with 5 ring gas hob, integrated microwave and decorated in muted jewel tones. Exposed beams and brickwork add a touch of character to this beautiful room. A reception room is located to the side of the kitchen, currently being used as a home gym. Completing this floor is the cloakroom. On the first floor, two double bedrooms are fitted with built in wardrobes and fireplaces. The slightly large of the two is fitted with ensuite shower and dual aspect views over Rose Street. The second floor of the property features three of the six bedrooms, with built in wardrobes and fireplace to the largest on this floor. The main bathroom is fitted with footed bathtub and sink built into a mirrored alcove. A separate shower is located next the bathroom with it's own door. The top floor accommodates the final double bedroom - perhaps the most impressive part of the house. Exposed wooden beams galore, showing off the authentic period features of the property, improved with a dormer installed in the early 1900s with two sash windows to illuminate the space. The property is located in the centre of Wokingham town and is a stone's throw to Waitrose supermarket and all other shops and amenities. Permit parking is available from the council.
