Little Hill occupies a wonderful elevated position in Harpsden, enjoying far-reaching views across the valley towards Henley Golf course. Formally the home of Dusty Springfield, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy with the convenience of being approximately 1 mile from Henley and within 45 minutes of Heathrow and London. The house has been in the same ownership for over 45 years and offers a rare opportunity to purchase a sizeable country house in a highly desirable location.

A long private tree-lined drive leads to the house, with the driveway sweeping round to the front of the property. The principal reception rooms and bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the south facing gardens and countryside beyond and the house offers tremendous scope to improve and enlarge subject to the relevant permissions being obtained. The accommodation is well-laid out and extensive offering flexible family and entertaining space. The layout can be found on the enclosed floorplans.

The property consists of five/eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, five reception rooms, kitchen, pantry, utility, and a wonderful balcony accessed from the principal bedroom. Most of the rooms have delightful views of the gardens and the property has a driveway with two garages that has access to both Harpsden and Gillott's Lane which has access into Henley.

The gardens are a lovely feature of the property, with a large lawned area planted with a mixture of mature trees and shrubs, giving a fantastic sense of privacy but still allowing views of the surrounding countryside.


Little Hill stands in one of Henley's most highly regarded village locations. Harpsden seamlessly links with the nearby countryside providing wonderful walks and riding together with many inviting public houses. The town centre of Henley-on-Thames is within 1 mile. Henley is well served for schools including Rupert House School; Trinity C.E Primary school; Shiplake College; The Oratory School, Reading Bluecoats, Reading Grammar School for boys, Radley College, Wycombe Abbey for girls, Queen Anne's Caversham for girls. The larger centres of Reading and Oxford provide a further range of shopping leisure and recreational facilities. There is a rail commuter service from Henley–on-Thames via Reading to London Paddington in approximately 52 minutes or the Elizabeth Line from Reading that takes you directly into the centre of London or Paddington in 28 minutes.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
