The property is approached via a long, private driveway and occupies a beautiful position in the highly popular village of Shiplake. The property has a lovely sense of light and space as soon as you enter the reception hall with its vaulted ceiling and galleried landing. Doors radiate to all the reception rooms.

Newlands benefits greatly from a lovely kitchen/dining room, which provides a fantastic family and entertaining space with bi-folding doors leading out to the patio, gardens and annexe/home office. The kitchen area has a range of wall and floor units, a large central island, and integrated appliances, including ovens, hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The kitchen area has a separate utility room. French windows open to the front of the house on to the south-facing terrace, offering a pleasant seating area overlooking the front garden. The dining room is at the back of the kitchen, with doors opening to the patio. The triple-aspect sitting room has a wood-burning stove and enjoys views over the front and access via bi-folding doors to the rear garden. The office has a large bay window overlooking the front garden, and a sitting/family room looks over the rear garden; a downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor to a light filled galleried landing, leading to the principal bedroom with an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes and a guest bedroom with an en suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, are accessed from the landing, all served by the family bathroom.

The gardens are accessed via electric gates on to a sweeping driveway that provides an impressive approach to the property. To the front of the house is parking for several cars, and the cedar-clad double garage offers further parking and secure storage. The front and rear gardens have been attractively landscaped and offer various seating areas, ideal for al fresco entertaining. The back garden features a cedar-clad annexe/studio with a living room, a shower room and a first floor, providing excellent study space.


Newlands is located in the centre of the charming village of Shiplake, which features a branch line station, village shop and post office, a butcher shop and a well-regarded public house. Shiplake station links to Henley-on-Thames in one direction and Twyford Station in another. Twyford has fast trains to London Paddington. Nearby, Reading also has an excellent commuter rail service to London Paddington with Crossrail providing access into the City.

The property is about 2 miles south of the market town of Henley-on-Thames, which provides an excellent selection of amenities, day-to-day shopping, and supermarkets, along with a selection of specialist retailers, boutiques and an inviting choice of cafes, bars and restaurants. In Henley, there is also a 3-screen cinema and a theatre. The larger centres of Reading and Oxford are also close at hand, offering a wide selection of shops and amenities. South Oxfordshire is renowned for its wide variety of schools providing an excellent choice for children of all ages in both the state and independent sectors. Shiplake has a CE primary school and Shiplake College (an independent day and boarding school).

The surrounding countryside is ideal for country pursuits and is well served with bridleways and footpaths for horse riding, cyclists and walkers and, of course, the nearby River Thames offers boat hire, rowing, sailing and canoe clubs.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
