5 bedroom house for sale

Thomas Sheriff Place is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian wing forming part of Henley Park—a historic mansion estate with origins dating back to 727 AD. Once named for its Saxon translation “high clearing,” the estate has long-standing royal connections, serving as a residence to Edward the Confessor, Richard the Lionheart and Edward VII, and later Lord Pirbright and Lady Rothschild and historical intrigue, from its days as a royal hunting lodge through scandal and use in the Second World War. Henley Park was part of the royal Forest of Windsor as early as the 12th Century and after a succession of royal and noble owners it finally passed into private hands around 1630 where is was re built in the Georgian Style before being beautifully restored in the late 1990s into four individual freehold homes.

Offering over 3,500 sq ft of accommodation across four floors, this elegant south-facing residence features a formal reception hall, a magnificent double-length drawing room with working fireplace, a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom. There are five generously proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms (three en suites), blending period character with modern convenience.

Set within 17 acres of stunning communal parkland and approached via electric gates and a sweeping ¾-mile tree-lined drive, the property also benefits from a detached double garage, two private parking spaces and a private walled garden with mature borders and views over the Hogs Back—making this a unique countryside retreat or impressive full-time residence.
