(all measurements are approximate)
A marvellous 6 bedroom detached period house of enormous character and quality, valuably unlisted. Enormous potential. Full planning permission granted to extend and alter existing building.
Constructed by the previous owner`s grandfather 100 years ago in 1919, in the Arts and Crafts period which is noted for its high standards of building and outstanding architectural designs. This was a revolutionary period not only in architecture but in design in general including textiles, ceramics and art.
The Gables is situated in one of the most important and peaceful tree-lined roads within Tilehurst, noted for its outstanding residential properties.
Planning permission granted 21st July 2022 application no: 220585 for a single storey rear extension and internal link, new car port and internal alterations. Creating a stunning kitchen/ living/ dining room area with a good-sized study or family room, plus various other alterations shown on the plans (see architects drawings/ plans showing external and internal extensions and alterations).
This is an exceptional family house in many ways, set in large gardens extending to 0.3 acres, which have been tended and cared for with love over many years. Not only is the design of the outside a delight to behold, also the interior with its imposing entrance porch and original entrance door with stained glass and leaded light panel – so typical of the period.
The reception hall sets the tone of the whole building, with its high ceiling, decorative beam work, large open fireplace, all original to the period. This area is also panelled with a graceful staircase leading to the first floor which has a large landing and a similar staircase rising to the second floor.
There are some fine views from the first and second floor rear bedrooms over the rear gardens and undulating woodland with some splendid views to the south across the valley in which the Thames lies, with wooded hill rising in the distance to the north. To the south west you can see the Arthur Newbery Park rising in the distance.
The property has been maintained in good order through its life, but will benefit from some modernisation. It is within walking distance of Tilehurst train station offering fast commuter links to London Paddington and Reading (with Crossrail coming to Reading) and a short distance to both Waitrose and the shopping centres of Tilehurst.
The 3 main double bedrooms to the first floor enjoy very high ceilings, as does much of the property, approximately 10-foot-high with oak beams. There is plenty of room in all three of these bedrooms to convert the large walk-in wardrobes with their pretty eyebrow leaded light windows, to perhaps ensuite shower rooms.
On the second floor, there are 3 further double bedrooms and there is a large walk-in cupboard.
Special features:
A fine staircase rising to the first and second floors with oak balustrade
Very pretty bay windows to the main reception rooms and the two main first floor bedrooms
The reception hall has a flagstone floor with carved motifs understood to have been removed from an ancient abbey at the time of construction
The sitting room is oak panelled with a fine original open fireplace and double doors with coloured leaded light panels giving access to the front lobby
Original pantry with AGA, shelving and quarry tiled flooring
Some wonderful original oak panelled doors to the ground floor
The garden room could make an excellent study
Lots of parking to the front for cars
