The Walled Garden forms the upper and lower ground floors of one of the iconic period villas that line the Fairmile. In addition to beautifully presented interiors, the property also has a large private garden (for which the property is named) and parking for several cars.
Internally the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen.
The maisonette is sold with the benefit of the freehold of the entire villa.
Steps lead up to the grand entrance porch, which opens into a shared foyer. An internal front door opens into the property's hall, with stairs to the lower ground floor and generous storage cupboards. Traditional wooden floors continue to the dining room and living room on the left.
The dining room is at the front of the property with a French balcony allowing light (and air, when the weather is nice) into the room. The high period ceilings retain decorative coving and ceiling rose, and a large fireplace occupies the outer wall. Double doors lead through to the sitting room, equally blessed with period finishes and a fantastic marble fireplace. Here, the French balcony is set into a bay with original wooden shutters and overlooks the beautiful garden.
At the end of the entrance hall, the country-style kitchen is attractively finished with plentiful bespoke cabinetry and built-in appliances, including an oven, electric hob, and extractor hood. Sash windows overlook the garden, and a door opening to the side of the property is used as a private entrance by the current occupants.
On the lower ground floor, the generously proportioned principal bedroom opens out onto the rear patio via French windows. The bedroom has extensive built-in storage and private access to the four-piece bathroom, which can also be accessed from the hall. The second bedroom is a generous double with en suite bathroom, and the third bedroom includes an additional space that may lend itself to use as a dressing room, study, or snug (as the current occupant has it).
The large gravel driveway is shared with the two flats on the upper floors of the villa. The Walled Garden has space for at least five vehicles, including allocated spaces in front of the building and along the side. The side of the property (to which the kitchen door opens) is gated at both front and rear, creating a courtyard of sorts. The wooden fence could be removed to allow vehicular access to the rear garden if desired. There may also be scope to extend the property over this side area, subject to the usual consent.
The southwest-facing rear garden is a surprisingly large and secluded space. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with privacy hedging and shrubs along the left border. On the right is a gravel area (the full extent of the drive) enclosed by a brick wall, housing an outdoor entertaining area and a large shed. A large yew tree sits centrally on the lawn, shielding the full extent of the garden from view.
The property is set back from the Fairmile that leads into Henley town from the northwest. Henley is a pretty market town on the banks of the river Thames, famous for The Royal Regatta and riverside walks along the Thames Path. It has a thriving social scene, with various clubs and societies, many excellent restaurants, and a good selection of shops.
Reading, London and national travel networks are easily accessible via nearby M4 and M40 motorways and by rail from Henley's train station. Reading to Paddington is approximately 25 minutes. Schools in the area include Valley Road Primary School, Rupert House School, Gillott's School, The Oratory School, Shiplake College, Reading Blue Coats, Queen Anne's School, and Cranford House School to name a few.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 9, 2022
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
