Gabled 18th century farmhouse with storybook rustic charm

Spacious grade II listed property combines period architecture with modern amenities.

Full of rustic charm, Chamberlain Farm is indeed the archetypal farmhouse with gabled roof, flanking chimneys and gabled porch sheltering the solid panelled front door. At the back, the kitchen stable-door opens onto a delightful courtyard and rear garden, providing views over green fields as far as the eye can see.

Set in a quiet spot along the Swallowfield Road, near Wokingham, Chamberlain Farm is on the market with Prospect priced at £575,000. The spacious four-bedroom detached property, believed to date from the early 18th Century, retains a multitude of period features, including open brick fireplaces with cast iron hood and grate, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and casement windows. Sympathetically renovated, the Grade II listed home now also offers a complementary range of modern comforts such as under floor heating, re-fitted four-piece luxury bathroom and double garage.

In the best farmhouse tradition, the heart of this home is its kitchen/dining room with its striking exposed beams. Spanning 21’ this airy dual aspect space provides an ideal setting for daily family life and for entertaining friends - by the open brick fire perhaps, on a cold winter’s day. With slate floor, underfloor heating, granite worktops, integrated range cooker, dishwasher, and glass-fronted display cabinet, this room is equipped to a high standard with everything a modern chef could need.

The property’s spacious 23ft triple aspect living room has impressive vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, open feature fireplace and doors onto the courtyard. There is also a study, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor. Continuing the period theme upstairs, the 18ft master bedroom and the second bedroom again feature exposed beams and cast iron fireplaces with wood surround and mantle.

Providing a further touch of luxury, the re-fitted bathroom has a corner bath, double width shower cubicle and marble tiles. On the second floor are two additional double bedrooms, offering splendid viewpoints over rear garden and at the open countryside beyond. At the front a walled and fenced garden completes the property’s picture perfect look.
