Wokingham, Berkshire

DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: A pair of Grade II Listed cottages that have been in single ownership and occupation. They date from the 17th Century with 20th Century alterations. 36 Rose Street was “the family home” and is connected to 38 Rose Street via the conservatory at the back. We understand 38 Rose Street has not been occupied for many years. 

This pair of cottages represents a superb opportunity to buy one or two Town Centre properties and then create “a home of your liking” from virtually a blank canvas.
