SITUATION
Halfridge provides an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a tranquil and private site with planning permission for a stunning 21,000 sq ft Arts & Crafts style house with excellent leisure facilities. The proposed design offers spacious open plan, modern living and is meticulously positioned to take advantage of the views down a beautiful valley. The land predominantly consists of formal gardens and woodland, all set within 68 acres of land.
Halfridge is situated on the edge of the pretty village of Nettlebed, which boasts several antique shops, a local store/post office, The Cheese Shed Café, McQueens Deli and the well regarded White Hart Hotel and Restaurant. The village also boasts a primary school and GP surgery.
More extensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby historic riverside town of Henley-on-Thames, offering a fine variety of shops, public houses and restaurants as well as a Waitrose and a hospital. The town of Reading also offers further shops and amenities, together with a fast rail service to London Paddington (from 27 minutes) and the Elizabeth Line. The M4 junction 8/9 lies within easy reach and provides access to Heathrow and the national motorway network.
The surrounding countryside offers extensive walking and riding through a well-linked network of public footpaths and bridleways.

Racing may be enjoyed at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury and the Guards Polo Club and the Royal Berkshire Polo Club are both within striking distance.
PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION
The proposed main house will provide 21,000 sq ft of accommodation. The new design scheme has been created to sit within the historic and typology planning guidance.
An overall property and landscape strategy has been prepared by chartered architects The Anderson Orr Partnership, with an aim to respect the nature of the site.
The intention is to replace the current house on the existing site and rotate the dwelling by 30 degrees. The new house has been carefully planned so that it is positioned to take advantage of the vistas down the valley and towards the farmland beyond.
The architects propose Halfridge to comprise of open planned living on the ground floor with a large kitchen/breakfast and family room. There will be four further rooms on this floor including three large reception rooms to the south and west providing the entertainment spaces, as well as an orangery with views over the gardens and down the valley.
On the first floor, four bedroom suites will be accessed off the landing all benefiting from separate dressing rooms and en suite bathrooms. In addition there will be a reading room adjacent to the large landing.
On the second floor will be three further bedroom suites with far reaching views. The basement will contain ancillary spaces including the indoor swimming pool, changing rooms, spa, gym, wine store, plant room, games room and cinema room.
The proposed ancillary building (garage) is designed as standalone structures and will not be connected to the accommodation within the main dwelling.
