Situated in a quiet backwater of the market town of historic Wokingham, Hollybank makes a lovely family home with a spacious open-plan kitchen / breakfast room, five double bedrooms, two walled gardens, a double garage & secluded parking.
Beautiful outlook over the park, tasteful décor and finished to a high standard throughout. Certainly one of Wokingham‘s prime addresses, this home is a convenient walk to shops, library, schools, trains, buses and restaurants.
Arranged over three floors (or four, if counting the quirky cellar rooms!), Hollybank provides five spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, reception rooms for all occasions, and a theatrical grand entrance hall / occasional dining room.
The gardens have been designed to create space for all occasions - with a walled kitchen garden to enjoy coffee in the morning sun, smart hedges and lawn from the garden gate to the main entrance, and a casually-inviting dining patio and fire-pit area for evening drinks, barbecues and dining.
Hollybank welcomes visitors into its large hallway, with its two sets of double doors and inner porch, beautiful paned glazing, and classic Victorian décor with terracotta detailed floor tiles and an open fireplace.
The impressive kitchen / diner & family room offers a versatile space for meals, lounging and entertaining. The angles of the vaulted ceiling, lofty rafters, roof lantern and paddle fan make quite a statement - but also give practical ventilation, light and cooling. The kitchen and dining area have the luxury of underfloor heating and a glass inset wall fireplace.
Integrated appliances, kitchen island, contemporary extractor and gas hob are designed to make food preparation a joy. The utility lobby deals with grocery bags, shoes, pets and laundry, but also houses a large wine-cooling fridge (for the cook, in case the cellar runs dry!)
Below the hallway, the cellar serves as a reminder of Hollybank‘s rich history and heritage, and can be used as pantry storage, log supplies or (naturally) rows of fine wines!
A charming snug is reached by a small staircase, giving space to work, study or relax. The high ceilings, sash window, real fire and natural wooden flooring also make this room cosy for film nights, or a quiet place to focus.
For more formal entertaining or larger gatherings, Hollybank‘s lounge (most likely once the drawing room) is both grand and warmly welcoming. With high ceilings, large windows, grand doors and hardwood flooring, this room retains a flavour of its grand Victorian heritage.
Using the light from its three large bay windows, this room makes the most of the afternoon and evening sun. To the south-facing side, there‘s an inviting window seat which is a wonderful place to get lost in a book, enjoy the sun‘s rays and take in the park views. For high summer, the room has two west-facing doors which open into the garden & patio for evening sun and a summer breeze.
For colder nights (and Christmas stockings), the handsome fireplace gives a warm focal point. Its proportions balance beautifully against the bay windows and high ceilings.
It‘s worth noting that the entrance hall was originally a formal dining room, and would lend itself beautifully to dinner parties and entertaining guests. The backdrop for Christmas gatherings is perfectly set - with its grand high ceilings, statement chandelier, vintage glasswork and a crackling real fire in the grate.
Adjoining the entrance hall there is a period-styled cloakroom with high-level WC and basin.
On the first floor, the Master Suite commands a view over the park with bay and sash windows. The floor-to-ceiling bespoke wardrobes provide ample storage and also integrate an en-suite wet-room and WC.
The other two large double bedrooms on the first floor each has period sash windows, high ceilings and hardwood floors. They provide versatile space for large double beds, and various combinations of bedroom and occasional furniture. The second of the two has a small alcove and feature fireplace.
The family bathroom features a charming free-standing white bathtub, extra large walk in shower enclosure and modern basin & WC suite - a perfect place for a long soak or quick revive.
The second floor is ideal as a guest suite, teenagers‘ zone, au pair quarters or additional family space. With vaulted and eaved ceilings, ample fitted storage and warm hardwood floors, the larger bedroom provides space for a large double bed and units. Its character is enhanced with ceiling rafters and tongue & groove doors on the fitted storage.
The second top floor room, with views over the park, could be used as a study or would be very suitable as bedroom five. Eaves storage, views across the park, beams and wooden floors complete the character of this cosy room.
These bedrooms have use of a traditional bathroom with a simple white suite and airing cupboard
Unusually for a town house, Hollybank has a large double garage with rafters storage, automated doors and a pedestrian door to the garden
