Ancastle House is a rare and exquisitely preserved five-bedroom Grade II* Listed Tudor home in Henley-on-Thames, blending rich historical character with adaptable modern living just moments from the town centre.
Ancastle House dates back to around 1580, with thoughtful Victorian and 1990s additions that have enhanced rather than compromised its unique heritage. Spanning over 3,000 sq ft, the property offers generous and flexible living spaces ideally suited to modern family life while retaining a wealth of original features that speak to its long and storied past.
Among the most striking elements are the beautifully preserved exposed beams, original timber framing, and two magnificent inglenook fireplaces, all of which lend a timeless character to the interiors. The home is arranged to offer a mix of formal and informal living areas, as well as excellent scope for further adaptation — including space for a sixth bedroom, guest or au pair accommodation, or a dedicated home office or studio.
Originally known as The Old Dairy, the house carries a unique legacy, with former uses still remembered fondly by the current owners. Later known as Ancastle House, the house name draws inspiration from the time of William the Conqueror, who allegedly considered building a castle on the hill behind, but finally decided on Windsor, because of the shorter distance for his troops to march from London. There was originally an area, with a windmill on the hill behind, known as Ancastle.
