Peaceful Setting in the heart of Wokingham Town - Gipsy Lane has a countryside feel, yet is a very short walk to the town's shops, marketplace, station and eateries.
If you're looking for a period property with some creature comforts, it's worth taking a look at this charming home - "The Nook".
The striking open plan kitchen features a lofty vaulted ceiling and French doors to a pergola & decking area. With a south-facing aspect, this room enjoys plenty of warmth and natural light.
Integrated appliances include full larder fridge & freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and induction hob.
The downstairs shower room has a large shower-enclosure, modern sanitary-ware, soft turquoise tiling, and includes enclosed laundry facility.
Set over three floors, this lovely period property features stripped timber flooring, stained-glass front door, gabled porch, brick fireplaces, cast-iron radiators, and natural timber doors.
The living room, formerly two separate rooms, features a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, natural timber flooring, and some bespoke under-stairs storage.
The master bedroom has a feature fireplace and a large en-suite bathroom with bathtub with shower screen. With a sunny southerly aspect, and a window in the bathroom, this room enjoys plenty of light and ventilation. When the temperature gets a little tropical (or arctic!) this room has a dual air-conditioning & heating unit (in addition to the central heating)
Bedroom two, on the top floor, is a generous size and also has air conditioning / extra heating. This room has lovely & far-reaching treetop views too.
Bedroom three overlooks Gipsy Lane, has closet storage, natural flooring and cast iron radiator.
Stepping into the garden starts with decking by the French doors, patio with raised beds, and quirky railway sleeper 'doorway' to lawn and garden cabin. This cabin measures 4m x 4m, is fully powered, and has bifold doors. This garden studio also has air-conditioning / heating and, with the glass facing to the north, this room shouldn't get too hot.
There's driveway parking for two small / medium cars and side access to the garden. The garden backs on to neighbouring gardens, but is not overlooked.
Notes on Energy Efficiency
This home is fitted with a Zero Emissions Boiler (ZEB) - the heating system is 'wet' through the radiators, but the boiler uses off-peak electricity to fuel heating and hot water. We understand a new boiler was fitted early 2022 (shortly after the current EPC rating). ZEB heating runs on the principle of storing low-tariff electricity (when prices, carbon and fossil uses are lowest, and from renewable sources), with running costs on a par with mains gas. The impact to the environment is lower, and we understand the boiler can hold heat for long periods of time.

A Few Words from Quarters
"It's hard to beat the tranquility of Gipsy Lane within the town centre, and this lovely cottage enjoys a good degree of privacy. Locals will know that it's an easy walk to the shops, schools and station, and there's also a nearby footpath to the wonderful Gorrick Woods and Chapel Green.
Anyone with dogs or children will enjoy Langborough Recreation Ground, and there are nearby allotments for keen gardeners.
We particularly love the kitchen - fitted with quality German appliances it's spacious & practical, yet super-homely. We can imagine evening meals and drinks by the French doors, and having these flung open on summer days for barbecues and entertaining.
The Nook is a super home for someone who's looking to put their own style into a period property, but not looking for a project.
Please get in touch with Nick or Teresa to ask any questions, or to arrange a viewing - we're looking forward to showing you around!"
