This handsome semi-detached house has generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors with attractive grounds to the front and the rear. The house has been in the same family since the mid 1970's and retains many of the original attractive period details including open fireplaces, exposed wood panels and sash windows with working shutters.
Stepping through the front door into the hall, the feeling of space and high ceilinged proportions is very welcoming. The front reception room has a striking cream marble fireplace and connects with the kitchen via the inner hall. Also on the ground floor is the dining room and cloak room.
On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms, the bathroom and a walk-in linen store. Attractive panelling lines the landing and a discreet stair leads up to to the top floor where there are a further two large bedrooms.
The house is set back from the inner lane that runs along The Fairmile. The driveway leads up to the garage and side access to the house with a lawned area in front of the house. The rear garden which has an open westerly aspect is laid to lawn with established planting.
Due to the age of the house, the period features and proportions are a particularly fine feature and the house is generally nicely presented. However, it is dated and would now benefit from a scheme of refurbishment which would have a transformative effect and create a truly beautiful family home in a location that is hard to beat. This house certainly should be considered by those that would prefer a project and the ability to put their own stamp on the house.
The Fairmile is a beautiful tree lined avenue leading into central Henley-on-Thames with attractive properties, a vineyard on the side of the valley and rolling hills beyond. The location of the house is within 0.5 miles of the town centre.
Henley-on-Thames itself is an attractive market town situated in beautiful and unspoilt countryside, approximately 36 miles west of Central London. Henley offers a wide range of excellent shopping, prize winning restaurants as well as a 3 screen cinema and theatre. The town is world famous for the annual Henley Royal Regatta and hosts the Henley Festival of Music & Arts, Henley Literary Festival and regional farmers markets.
The prestigious Leander Club, well supported Rugby Club and Phyllis Court (a private members club), are all within walking distance. There are numerous primary and secondary schools as well as Henley College which also offers adult learning facilities. There is golf at Henley and Huntercombe and excellent walks beside the river and in the nearby Chiltern Hills.
