A generously proportioned five-bedroom character house with immaculately presented interiors and extremely versatile accommodation, situated just south of Henley-on-Thames Woodvale is privately situated just off a quiet country ane in the highly sought-after village of Harpsden, which offers the ideal compromise of country living with excellent access to the cosmopolitan Thameside town of Henley, just under a mile and a half to the north. The house has been, in recent years, a luxurious holiday let, and has been extensively renovated to a very high standard while retaining much of its Edwardian charm and character. The interiors have been fully stripped back and refurbished, rewired and, in places, extended, to create a spacious and modern house which could easily continue as a holiday let or be returned to a family house. Outside there is extensive parking, garaging and secluded gardens. Outside The front of the property affords ample private parking on the gravel driveway, which is accessed via wooden gates. There are lawned gardens to the front and rear, enclosed by mature trees which give the plot a very private feel. There are terraces adjoining both the main house and the detached annexe, providing outside space for both residences. Whilst the property has been renovated extensively inside, the main house’s exterior retains its wonderful brick construction and period wooden-framed porch. There is excellent potential for further landscaping. Situation Harpsden is a small semi-rural village situated just south of Henley-on-Thames, with excellent access to surrounding countryside whilst being just 1.3 miles from the centre of town.

Property Ref Number: HAM-55871 Additional Information Most notable for this property is its extremely versatile floor plan and provision of ancillary accommodation, comprising two separate self-contained units to provide sleeping arrangements for up to 10 people. In the main house, five double bedrooms are wonderfully spacious, with three en suite, while outside in the grounds there is a one-bedroom studio above the garage, also with its own shower room, and a detached two-bedroom annexe with stylish kitchen, living area and shower room; the latter could be let separately as an income generator and the studio is also well equipped for many uses, such as living accommodation for an au pair, as a studio, gym or home office. The property is an excellent option for multigenerational living, for example parents, grandparents and children all living together. Inside the house, the interiors are immaculately presented and features premium flooring, a neutral colour palette and a high standard of attention to detail: traditional-style radiators complement the age of the house, as do the windows and lighting choices, though all has been fully modernised. One of the standout rooms is a spacious and contemporary open plan snug/dining room/kitchen area, which leads out through to the garden beyond. The kitchen is fitted with a Rangemaster stove, a wine fridge and premium Neff appliances, and is a fabulously sociable space when combined with the dining area and snug – it’s a great room for entertaining. Elsewhere there are two further reception rooms on the ground floor, a laundry room, utility area and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, including three with en suite facilities, as well as a family bathroom, all overlooking either the front or rear of the property with stunning views of the rural landscape beyond. In the property’s secondary accommodation, the annexe features two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/living room and a shower room, with an additional ‘studio’ space over the triple garage.
