The Orchard is a beautifully designed home on one of Peppard Commons' popular roads, with open fields to the front and the village amenities a short walk away. The property was originally built in the 1930s and, in 2014, was extended and fully refurbished to create a stylish and contemporary home. It has been fully rewired and re-plumbed and has a new roof. Internally, it is wonderfully bright, modern, and exceptionally well-equipped for entertaining and everyday family life.

The contemporary style is complemented by the beautiful natural light throughout the home, which features pale, neutral-tone walls and natural materials like slate and oak floors. Throughout the house are high-quality fixtures and fittings designed to blend seamlessly. The kitchen is well equipped and minimalist, with a fully fitted laundry room. Use of full-height, slim-frame sliding doors and a skylight in the kitchen/dining area fills the space with natural light, creating a wonderful sense of space.

The ground floor is well-equipped for family life. At the heart is the wonderful kitchen, which opens to the terrace and garden. Leading off the kitchen is the semi-open-plan lounge with a wood-burning stove. On the opposite side are double doors leading to the study/playroom and a door to the laundry room. There are also two separate reception rooms at the front of the house, making it possible to have one for formal entertaining and one for relaxed family time.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is fantastic with a walk-in wardrobe area and en suite bath/shower room. Two further en suite double bedrooms would be suitable for guests or children. The two remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are professionally landscaped and well established, with a large variety of trees and shrubs, giving the plot a wonderfully green aspect and making it feel very private.

The Orchard is accessed over a superb, wide gravel driveway leading up to a parking area with space for several cars. A detached garage and double carport provide covered parking and useful storage. The front garden has a stone-paved path with steps leading to the front door, bordered by attractive flower beds and a water fountain. The covered front seating areas are accessible from the reception rooms and offer places to sit and enjoy the scenery. The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and has a spacious terrace to the rear, perfect for al fresco entertaining, a stunning water feature, a large variety of plants within the flowerbeds and borders, and feature Hornbeam hedges. The lawns lead to a detached home office/studio, which could be used as a gym, study or for hobbies, and a wildflower area at the rear.


The Orchard is in Peppard Common, near Sonning Common (1 mile), which has a good selection of local shops, doctor and dental surgeries, and a post office. Primary and state schools can be found in the village; several excellent private schools are nearby, such as The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford, The Oratory, and Queen Anne's School, to name a few. The area has excellent gastro pubs, The Unicorn Pub just a short distance away, and The Red Lion in Peppard Common and The Crooked Billet in Stoke Row.

The neighbouring towns of Henley-on-Thames and Marlow offer a broad selection of amenities, shops, specialist retailers, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The larger centre of Reading is also a short distance away. Henley is famous for the Royal Regatta and the Music Festival every summer and has many sporting amenities, including rowing, golf, tennis and rugby. It has a branch line railway station to Twyford with links to London. Reading Station, a 15-minute drive away, is a national rail hub with fast commuter trains to London Paddington Station (30 mins) and central London via the Elizabeth Line. The surrounding countryside is ideal for country pursuits and is well-served, with bridleways and footpaths for horse riding, cyclists, and walkers. The M40 at Junction 4 is about 12 miles away, and the M4 is easily accessible via Henley or Reading (Jct 8/9 and Jct 11).
