4 bedroom detached house

A bespoke country house, standing in discreet position just outside Henley-on-Thames with beautiful views of the valley

Holly House - This fine country house was built to our client's specifications and now on the market for the first time. Construction is traditional using original red wire cut bricks with hand made Victorian "Swirl" chimney pots and "Isokern" lining and the whole house has over insulation ensuring a high level of efficiency and reduced running costs.

The ground floor design was created to facilitate our clients specific requirements, but easily adaptable to create additional accommodation space if required. The principal rooms are arranged off a stunning central hallway with galleried landing.

There are some innovative design features including a laundry chute from the landing directly into the utility room. The first floor has all bedroom suites plus a decadent bathing room. A particularly fine feature is the incredible master suite, with a hidden walk-in dressing room behind tailor made cabinets. Another innovative feature of the first floor is that none of the bedrooms walls are laid bearing, allowing easy configuration without major construction.

The house is beautifully presented throughout, built and fitted out to the highest standards.

Garden And Grounds - The gardens have been curated to have zones to enjoy the views across the Harspden Valley, with areas of lawn, wild flower planting and flower beds to create a lovely and relaxing setting. There are a number of sitting areas and a lovely summer cabin set back for enjoying the sun setting over the valley.

Garaging And Annexe - Our client is a motoring enthusiast and created a garage building specifically for working on and enjoying his cars collection, there is a sitting area to admire the vehicles and a useful store room. The floor above is a full length work shop but has been built to facilitate a guest annexe with a simple conversion, the room has a power and plumbing and there is a cloak room.

Situation - Henley-on-Thames and surrounding villages benefit from a wide range of excellent shopping, prize-winning restaurants as well as a 3 screen cinema and theatre. The town is world famous for the annual Henley Royal Regatta and hosts the Henley Festival of Music & Arts, Henley Literary Festival and regional farmers markets. There are numerous primary and secondary schools as well as Henley College which also offers adult learning facilities. There is golf at Henley, which is moments from the house in the Harspden Valley and Huntercombe, equestrian centres, racing at nearby Ascot, Windsor and Newbury, and excellent walks beside the river and in the nearby Chiltern Hills.
