ACCOMMODATION
Originally built as two separate cottages, this unique and characterful four-bedroom home is nestled in the heart of the ever-popular village of Sonning. Seamlessly blending historic charm with modern living in this popular village, the property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance hall that leads to a central passageway providing access to the sitting room, family room, kitchen/breakfast room, and stairs to the first-floor landing.
The sitting room, situated at the front of the property, features elegant parquet flooring, a fireplace, and access to a cellar, offering valuable additional storage or potential.
To the rear, the spacious family room runs the width of the property and acts as the connector between the original cottages, Sunnyside and Rosemary. This inviting room boasts an inglenook fireplace, a historic serving hatch believed to date back to when the property served as a public house, and French doors opening onto the rear garden.
A separate snug at the front of the house offers a cozy retreat with tiled flooring, an ornate wood-burning stove, and an exposed brick fireplace perfect for relaxing evenings.
The kitchen/breakfast room, a later extension, is a true highlight. Measuring 15 feet in length, it is flooded with natural light thanks to a stunning glass ceiling and a wall of windows. From here, you also access a downstairs shower room and a separate WC.
Upstairs, you'll find four generous double bedrooms and a staircase leading to the attic/loft space, offering further potential for conversion or storage.
