Property description
The house has been very cleverly extended by the current owners now offering a versatile living space across three floors. Tucked away within a small, historic village in a conservation area three miles from Henley-on-Thames. Dating from the 17th century the property has original timber frames and there are a number of charming character features which are complemented by modern additions.
A gorgeous farmhouse-style kitchen opening onto an orangery dining area, well-appointed bath and shower rooms and updated décor. The detached garage has been partially converted to create a self-contained studio / annexe, with a kitchen and shower room on the ground floor and a studio bedroom / living area upstairs. This also offers great potential as an income generator, such as a holiday let. Within the main residence there is a basement level bedroom / shower room and family room which, combined with the utility room, could be turned into a further separate living space. The living accommodation is well planned and offers both formal and informal spaces for entertaining.
The property is set back from a quiet country lane in an idyllic position. The gardens about one acre, surrounding the house on all sides and comprising lawns, a beautiful stone terrace with roof lanterns providing tremendous daylight to the family / media space. Lovely flowerbeds and borders stocked with a huge variety of flowers and shrubs, vegetable plots and mature trees around the boundary creates a natural feeling of privacy. The house is approached via a gated driveway which offers ample parking and access to the detached garage block, which has been partly converted to comprise a garage, store and the annexe accommodation. There is also a stone-built summerhouse adjoining the terrace.
