4 bedroom detached house for sale

Standing in a discreet position overlooking a green, with outstanding open views over the Chiltern Hills, this is a fabulous opportunity to acquire a beautiful country home in a first class location near Henley-on-Thames.

Hope Cottage - Hope Cottage is a fine brick and flint detached country house standing in a very discreet position overlooking a pretty village green to the front and enjoying simply breathtaking views over the rolling Chiltern Hills.

The house has been much improved over the years; the styling is elegant, blending many original features with a contemporary twist. The accommodation, which is arranged over two floors, offers flexible living.

Stepping in to the generous hallway with a duel fuel stove, one is immediately enveloped in a peaceful light living space. From here there are connecting doors to the sitting room, cloakoom, a separate dining room and the open plan kitchen family room. This area is a particularly fine feature, running the entire width of the house and with a range of glazed doors stepping out to the garden and taking in that wonderful view. A connecting inner hall/utility room has a split level attached annexe with an open plan kitchen studio and shower room on the ground floor and a lovely double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, upstairs.

Returning to the main hallway, stairs lead to two bedroom suites, the family bathroom and a third generous bedroom.

Outside - The front garden is well screened from the green to provide a high degree of privacy with a shingle driveway. The house is surrounded by a mature lawn with some very pretty specimen planting.
