The flexible accommodation is arranged over three floors and briefly comprises four reception rooms, six bedrooms (four with en suite facilities), five bathrooms, downstairs WC, utility room, triple garage, generous driveway, and landscaped gardens.
The front door opens into the impressive entrance hall galleried by both the first and second floors, with a feature mirrored sky lantern above.
The formal dining room and large drawing room lie to the left, along with a downstairs WC. The dual aspect drawing room features a large fireplace, currently fitted with a 'coal effect' remotely controlled gas fire. French windows lead out to the inviting rear terrace.
To the right of the entrance hall, a spacious study with built-in storage overlooks the front drive.
The open plan kitchen, breakfast room and orangery occupy the rear of the ground floor, with two sets of French windows opening out onto the garden terrace.
The kitchen comprises bespoke fitted cabinetry in a modern country style, with a large central kitchen island, and a range of quality appliances. The orangery currently functions as a TV room, while the fully appointed utility room lies off the kitchen and offers a separate entrance for muddy boots or paws.
On the first floor, the exceptional principal suite boasts a dressing room, en suite bathroom and a balcony terrace overlooking the rear gardens.
The generous second bedroom also has a dressing room, en suite shower room and balcony French windows. The other two bedrooms on this floor each have en suite shower rooms and bay windows to the front.
On the second floor, two further rooms may function as bedrooms or further living spaces as suits the occupants. There is also a shower room on the landing, and a walk-in plant room.
This fine house presents wonderfully on approach across the generous paved driveway with lawns to left and right. The triple garage (with loft space) lies to the right: the current owners have converted one of the three bays into a gym space. The front of the house is flanked by laurel hedging and front by estate fencing with double gates.
The landscaped gardens total approximately 0.57 acres and wrap around the side of the house. The gardens are truly lovely, having been professionally designed and planted. Mature trees and shrubs provide peace and privacy. A path leads from the large, shrub-lined terrace at the back of the house to a sun deck with flower borders full of colour in season. From there, stepping stones lead to the cottage garden, which features an ornate Hartley Botanic greenhouse and useful raised vegetable beds.
At the rear of the garden is a summerhouse, and there is also a garden shed. The plentiful remaining garden space is dedicated to lawn.
The house is situated on the edge of both of Stoke Row and Checkendon villages in the Chiltern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Checkendon is listed in the Domesday Book and has many amenities, including an excellent preschool and primary schools, a twelfth century church, a village hall, and three nearby pubs. There is also a highly regarded equestrian centre, a large village green with children's play area, sports facilities, and a pavilion, home to the village cricket club and football team. Stoke Row is equally charming and well served.
The property is a short drive from the riverside market towns of Henley-on-Thames, famous for the Royal Regatta, and Wallingford. Comprehensive conveniences are available in nearby Reading and Oxford. Both Henley and Reading offer excellent rail links (London in under 45 minutes), while M4 and M40 motorways are also easily accessible. The area is well served for schools, including the highly regarded Oratory School just two miles away, as well as Moulsford, Cranford House and Queen Anne's to name a few.
