4 bedroom detached house

A charming detached family home, set in beautiful gardens just 1.2 miles from Henley town.

Description

A detached family home, built circa 1886, with a major extension in 1985 and more recent modifications. It features brick and painted render elevations under a clay tile roof, blending period charm with modern design to create a lovely, light-filled, and beautifully presented family home.

Upon entering the reception hall, the eye is drawn through to the French doors that open onto the delightful rear garden. The generous ground floor accommodation includes an elegant sitting room with bay windows overlooking the garden, an open fireplace with a stone surround, and doors leading to a large conservatory.

The dining room also features a bay window and a characterful fireplace, while the family room benefits from two separate doors opening to the garden. The good-sized kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of white wall and floor units, complemented by a useful utility room. A separate study is located off the entrance hall.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and panoramic views over the garden from four large windows. The guest bedroom includes an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes) and a family bathroom.

Outside, The Cottage is accessed via wooden gates that open onto a sweeping gravel driveway, offering parking for several cars to one side and in front of the detached double garage. The private front garden is laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedging, with well-stocked flowerbeds and climbers adorning the front façade.

The rear garden is accessed from the conservatory onto a paved terrace—perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining—overlooking the beautiful gardens.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with specimen trees and vibrant borders planted with perennials and shrubs for year-round interest. Hedges divide the garden into distinct sections, creating a picturesque and tranquil setting that perfectly complements this charming home.
