Cottage living in the centre of Wokingham

Until now, the idea of living in a cottage conjured up images of remote countryside and quaint little houses but one homebuilder has bucked the trend, offering cottages in the centre of Wokingham and just minutes away from a Waitrose supermarket.

Chestnut Grange is an exclusive development from David Wilson Retirement Homes and ideal for homebuyers wanting to live in a cottage yet be near the centre of town.

"The two bedroom cottages at Chestnut Grange have proved very popular and a handful remain," commented Michelle Edwards, operational sales manager at David Wilson Retirement Homes.

"Buyers are attracted to the cottages as they are charming, are part of a gated development and are superbly located close to all of Wokingham's amenities. And yet, the development is incredibly peaceful and quiet."

Each tile-hung cottage features spacious rooms, two bedrooms with ensuite, an elegant fully fitted kitchen with appliances including fitted washer/dryer, microwave and dishwasher. Each cottage comes with fitted carpets and ceramic tiled floors and has an allocated parking space. Specification is high throughout the property with features including gated entry, CCTV, and a video entry door system.

Set in Glebelands Road, a short walk from the bustling town centre of Wokingham, with its amenities, shops, leisure facilities. There is a Waitrose supermarket within a few hundred metres of the development, a Marks & Spencer, main post office and a good old fashioned outdoor market.

For an evening out there are many restaurants and dining pubs in the town, and the opportunity to take in a performance at Wokingham's Theatre. There are a number of golf clubs, a bowling club, and a Nifty Fifties sports club offering keep fit, tap, line-dancing, badminton and table tennis amongst other activities.

Wokingham also has a train station with regular connections to London and Chestnut Grange is within easy road access of the M3.

Michelle continued: "External maintenance on the site is taken care of so residents can rest assured that their home and the development will be kept in top condition - this is a particularly attractive extra for our clients who have property abroad but want to retain somewhere to live in the UK or who want to enjoy their lifestyle and not have to worry about DIY."

Chestnut Grange has a guest suite for residents to use to invite friends and family to stay, an on-site house manager for complete peace of mind, a 24 hour careline offering peace of mind for those residents that may not be as active. And with communal garden and residents lounge, there is plenty of opportunities for meeting neighbours and socialising.

Prices start from £369,950 for a cottage, for further details log on to Davidwilsonretirementhomes.co.uk.
