6 bedroom detached house for sale

An elegant Edwardian home, in a sought-after position on a popular, tree lined road, just over half a mile from Henley Station and under a mile to the town.

Description

The house has an imposing setting and is presented to an excellent standard: its well-maintained interiors are traditionally appointed with heritage colours and attractive wall coverings, which beautifully complement a plethora of character features including stained glass windows, a Victorian heritage tiled floor in the entrance hall and attractive fireplaces. A particular highlight is the kitchen, with its hand made cabinetry and AGA – a very spacious room which runs the full depth of the house, affording views to the front and rear. The accommodation is fantastically bright and airy, with excellent natural light, and all of the rooms are generously proportioned. The vendors have made a number of updates over the years, including new bathrooms, adding a porch and updating the kitchen. It’s a very stylish home, perfect for family life.

The entrance hall is a welcoming space, leading to the kitchen/breakfast room, a cloakroom to the rear and the two expansive reception rooms, currently used as a formal sitting room over looking the front and a family/ playroom overlooking the rear. In the cellar there is a wine store and utility room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

On the first floor there is a principal suite with dressing room and en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor, there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, the house is set back from the road behind a lovely front garden and a gravel driveway. Double gates open to an additional enclosed parking area and the detached garage/workshop, which has a useful bike store to the rear and a mezzanine for storage. The rear garden is secluded, bordered by mature trees and hedges, and benefits from a good-size terrace, raised flowerbeds, a sizeable lawn and a delightful wooded, wildflower area at the rear.
