The Old School House, Wokingham

Set within the heart of the Wokingham Conservation Area, The Old School enjoys a prime position on the edge of this charming market town — just a short stroll from a vibrant mix of eateries, traditional pubs, independent boutiques, and welcoming coffee shops, and only a few minutes’ walk from the station, making commuting effortless.

Originally the town’s schoolhouse, this historic building has been expertly converted by renowned local developer Siloam Homes, preserving its period character while seamlessly integrating contemporary luxury and modern convenience.

A pair of electric gates opens to an exclusive development of just four distinctive homes, each thoughtfully crafted from the original Victorian structure. The Old School’s handsome brick façade and elegant architectural detailing immediately set the tone for the sophistication within.

The property benefits from two brick-paved parking spaces, and a covered entrance leads to a private front door. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a bright hallway with coir matting and a glazed internal door that opens into the impressive main reception room — a fitting introduction to this beautifully restored and reimagined home.

Spanning an impressive 29 feet in length, the stunning living and dining space effortlessly blends elegance with comfort. A large triple-glazed hardwood window floods the room with natural light, highlighting the beautiful oak flooring and the gentle warmth of gas-fired underfloor heating.

At its heart sits a striking honey-stone fireplace with a log-burning stove — an inviting focal point and the perfect place to relax or gather with friends and family.

A dedicated dining area comfortably accommodates six to eight guests, creating a stylish setting for dinner parties or long, memorable meals together. The thoughtful layout makes the room equally suited to entertaining and everyday living.

A part-glazed oak turning staircase rises gracefully to the first floor, accompanied by a generous built-in cupboard. Originally designed as a cloakroom, the space still retains its plumbing and could easily be reinstated if desired. Clean architectural lines and natural materials combine to give the home a timeless and welcoming feel.

The luxury kitchen and breakfast room exudes both quality and warmth, featuring solid oak cabinet doors, sleek dark granite worktops, and elegant natural Travertine flooring. Contemporary Bosch appliances blend style with practicality, creating a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

French doors open directly onto the patio and garden, inviting natural light inside and offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A useful storage area sits between the kitchen and living space, ideal for keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away. There is also ample room for a bistro-style table — the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while overlooking the garden.

The oak turning staircase leads to a striking first-floor landing with vaulted ceilings and beautiful exposed beamwork, a characterful feature that continues throughout the upper level. The design effortlessly blends period charm with contemporary flair, with quirky architectural touches such as clear glass and timber balustrade panels creating a modern contrast to the traditional beams.

The result is a bright, architectural space that feels both timeless and thoughtfully designed.

Bedroom One is a beautifully proportioned retreat designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind. Exposed design beams add architectural interest, while two windows — positioned at different heights — frame varying views and fill the room with natural light, creating a calm and airy atmosphere.

The bedroom is complemented by a generous walk-in dressing room and a luxurious ensuite wet room, fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, Grohe taps, and natural Travertine wall and floor tiles. Chrome finishes and a thermostatic shower complete the space, giving it a refined, spa-like feel.

Bedroom Two is a beautifully presented guest room featuring fitted wardrobes and a charming exposed beam that adds warmth and character. Generous in size and thoughtfully designed, it offers a peaceful retreat for visiting family or friends and could also be used as a home office if desired.

Bedroom Three is a generously proportioned bedroom with an impressive vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and dual windows, creating a bright and welcoming space. While primarily a bedroom, its size and layout also make it suitable for occasional use as a home office or study area. The combination of height, natural light, and architectural detail gives the room a distinctive sense of style and versatility.

Both rooms are served by the luxurious family bathroom, finished to a contemporary standard with high-quality sanitaryware, natural Travertine wall and floor tiles, and elegant chrome fittings. A shower-over-bath design offers flexibility for busy mornings or indulgent evening soaks, while a heated towel rail ensures warm, fluffy towels — a simple touch of everyday comfort.

To the rear, the beautifully maintained garden is enclosed by quality wooden fencing, offering both privacy and a peaceful sense of retreat. Measuring approximately 36 feet wide by 20 feet deep, the space is immaculately presented with an Indian stone patio — perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying al fresco dining on warm evenings.

An artificial lawn provides an attractive, low-maintenance green space ideal for relaxing or children’s play. A rear gate offers convenient access, while a timber shed provides useful storage for gardening tools and outdoor essentials.

The garden is further enhanced by exterior lighting and a water tap, completing this stylish and practical outdoor space.
