Once the childhood home of novelist George Orwell. the property offers well proportioned rooms with many character features, including leaded windows, high ceilings and cornicing.
The front door opens into an oak panelled hall with access to a cloakroom with WC, and leads into a large inner hallway with doors radiating to the reception rooms, kitchen and stairs to the first floor. The spacious double-aspect sitting room has a bay window overlooking the garden, an attractive marble fireplace, and oak parquet flooring that continues through the hallway. A further ground floor room with French doors onto the garden may serve as a fourth bedroom, a TV/family room or a study.
A spacious, fully fitted kitchen/dining room has a range of integrated appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, with a tiled floor and double doors leading out to the garden terrace. From the kitchen is a utility room with a larder and access to the garden room/greenhouse, which requires maintenance.
An elegant staircase with large windows overlooking the garden opens to a spacious landing with access to three double bedroom suites. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. Bedroom two has an en suite bathroom, and bedroom three, with French doors leading out to two balconies, offers an en suite bathroom and an additional room, which may also be used as a spare bedroom or dressing room. All the bedroom suites have wooden flooring.

Garden and grounds
Rose Lawn is approached through timber electric gates on to a block paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. A paved path leads to the front door and continues to a delightful rear garden with a high laurel and conifer hedging boundary. A paved terrace to the rear of the property has steps down on to the lawn bordered by a mixture of flowerbeds filled with mature shrubs, plants and hedging. The property owners had acquired planning permission for a garage that has now lapsed.


The property is within a short distance (0.2miles) of Shiplake's village store/post office, butchers, and Lower Shiplake railway station offers access to London Paddington, Reading and Henley. Henley, famous for its annual Royal Regatta, is a five minute drive away and offers a wide range of national and independent boutique retailers, pubs, restaurants, The River & Rowing Museum, Kenton Theatre and Regal Cinema.

Directions
From the Henley bridge, at the traffic lights, travel on Thameside and along the river. At the traffic lights, turn left on to Reading Road and follow the road out of Henley for approximately two miles. Turn left into Station Road, Rose Lawn can be found on the left-hand side through a wooden gate.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
