Knight Frank are delighted to offer this detached three/four bedroom cottage. The property has lovely accommodation set over two floors and is set in the centre of a generous plot in a private no through road in the heart of the village.

The front door opens into a reception hall with doors leading to the reception rooms and an inner hallway with stairs to the first floor.
A wide access takes you into a light, airy double-aspect living room with an attractive square bay window to the front and a gas coal effect fireplace. A door leads into the inner hallway with a side aspect corner storage cupboard. From the inner hallway, a door leads into the light and spacious kitchen/dining room with an island unit and a range of integrated appliances. A utility area with ample space for a washing machine, dryer, and storage is accessed from double doors in the kitchen, and French doors lead out onto the rear garden terrace, ensuring this space works perfectly for family living.
From the kitchen/dining room, a corridor leads to a shower room with WC and access to bedroom four/study. This room provides flexible accommodation and can be used as a home office or guest bedroom.

The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, a single bedroom with pleasant views over the gardens, and one with an original fireplace. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

To the front of the property is a driveway with parking for several cars. The front garden is bordered by mature hedging providing a great sense of privacy. To the side is access to the rear garden that is laid mainly to lawn with a kitchen garden to its rear.


Northfield Avenue is a private no-through road accessed from the heart of the village. Shiplake is a very popular Thames-side village. Local amenities include a village shop/post office, butcher, garage, and The Baskerville, a pub and restaurant.

The railway station is just moments away, giving mainline access (via Twyford) in 8 minutes or Reading (18 minutes) with a fast service to London and Paddington (from 25 minutes) and also a connection to the Elizabeth Line. Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and Reading are all within easy reach and offer a more comprehensive range of shopping, cafes, restaurants and recreational facilities.

The area is well served by schools, including Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake College, The Abbey School for Girls, and Queen Anne's in Caversham. Manor Croft is also in the catchment area of Shiplake Primary School. There are boating activities on the River Thames, and Henley has the world-famous annual Henley Royal Regatta and hosts the Henley Festival of Music & Arts, Henley Literary Festival and regional farmers markets. There are excellent walks beside the river into Henley and in the nearby Chiltern Hills.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 6, 2022

    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
