The accommodation is well laid out with all the reception rooms flowing off the beautiful floral decorated reception hall. The principal rooms are of comfortable proportions, with characteristic features of a house of this period. There is some fine cornicing, and traditional sash windows. The house has been extensively renovated and updated over the years by the current owners to an exceptional standard to create an ideal family home, equally suitable for entertaining.
The property is entered through wrought iron gates through wonderful gardens leading to the front of the house. Steps lead up to a panelled door to the beautiful hall, with staircase leading up to the first floor. The principal bedroom accommodation has a marble bathroom and dressing rooms. The house benefits from a lift from the ground to first floor arriving outside the principal suite. There is a further luxurious suite to the first floor with further family accommodation to the second floor.
To the rear of the house is the kitchen and domestic offices. Beyond is a wing suitable for guest accommodation or staff to be located within the house. From here there is a covered walkway to the courtyard with guest or staff accommodation, comprising a one bedroom apartment and a guest house (called The Black Swan) with spacious suites, a sitting room and kitchen area.
There is a luxurious Pool House within the grounds with a further guest suite and wonderful highly appointed swimming pool and gymnasium with spa facilities. This was rebuilt around ten years ago to the highest of specifications by the current owners.
Henley-on-Thames 7 miles | M40 (Junction 4) 9 miles | Watlington 4 miles | Oxford 23 miles | Heathrow Airport 30 miles, High Wycombe Station 14 miles (London Paddington 28 minutes) (All distances and times are approximate).
The property occupies a unique Chiltern Hills location, on a wide unspoilt leafy heath with a famous lime avenue, in an elevated rural setting adjoining magnificent riding and walking. This part of the Chilterns is renowned for its beauty, with some substantial private estates in the immediate vicinity ensuring that the countryside is immaculately maintained and presents a wonderful environment.
It is a highly sought after country location outside Henley, where the opportunity to buy is very rare. The heath is common land, but protected and ideal for families. The short drive to the historic town of Henley along the Stonor Valley enjoys some of the finest scenery in England. In the nearby village of Pishill, there is an excellent public house, The Crown. There is a village church, with a stained glass window by John Piper, and a fledgling vineyard. Other noted pubs nearby are The Five Horseshoes at Maidensgrove, with fabulous views over the Chilterns, the Frog at Skirmett, The Chequers in picturesque Fingest, The Bull & Butcher in Turville (of Vicar of Dibley fame), the Stag and Huntsman at beautiful Hambleden. Watlington to the north is a pretty, small market town with butcher, delicatessen, petrol station, Co-op and other day to day amenities. Henley-on-Thames has excellent day to day shopping, recreational and educational facilities.
