Honey Hill, Wokingham

Tucked away on a desirable tree-lined road within the sought-after Holme Grange area of Wokingham, Briar Rose Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached character home with outstanding potential. Surrounded by mature grounds and just moments from a local plant nursery, artisan craft village, and a well-regarded independent school, the location balances peaceful countryside living with everyday convenience.

Occupying a generous 1.42-acre plot, the property extends to approximately 3,437 sq ft and offers versatile, adaptable accommodation ideal for those looking to create a bespoke family residence. Whether seeking a refurbishment project or exploring the potential for redevelopment (STPP), this is a home with remarkable scope.

Approached via gated access, the property sits proudly towards the front of the plot and benefits from a roadside frontage of 325ft. The grounds include a triple garage block, a stable block, and a second gated entrance leading to further parking and an attached former garage, now utilised as a workshop. There is also a sizeable study/office area that opens to the corner conservatory and this area in conjunction with the workshop, could be suitable for annexe use, subject to planning.

Internally, the spacious layout includes a striking 36’9” living room, a 23’ open-plan kitchen/dining room, a cosy snug, and a third bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with access to a balcony terrace enjoying tranquil views across the gardens. A family bathroom and an additional loft room complete the upper level.

This is a home of enormous charm and possibility, perfect for buyers looking to tailor a property to their individual vision in a highly desirable semi-rural location.
