Colmore Lane, Kingwood, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9

Great David's is a beautifully designed Edwardian country home offering extensive and flexible family living and entertaining space, with ample accommodation and immaculate grounds. The property is approached from a quiet lane through electric gates opening out to a private gravelled drive up to the house, with a large parking area.
The property was constructed in 1909 and the current owner has had it beautifully designed internally with bespoke Phillip Koomen joinery throughout.
The house has a large reception hall, leading into the drawing room with views over the beautifully kept rose gardens. The main hall flows round to a cloakroom with downstairs WC. The wood panelled dining room is perfect for entertaining with a large fireplace. Adjacent is a cosy snug room leading into the lovely family kitchen designed by Smallbone with French doors out into the gardens and a separate substantial larder.
There are two staircases within the house to the first floor. Ascending the main oak staircase there is an open galleried landing, leading to the principal bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. Followed by five further bedrooms and two bathrooms and a generous sized linen room. There is an impressive study and bathroom on the second floor, as well as attic storage space.

Garden and Grounds

To the rear of the house there is a large shaded loggia, perfect for alfresco dining, overlooking the croquet lawn and swimming pool beyond. The croquet lawn is immaculately kept with fescue grass imported from the Agricultural Centre in Denmark.
The swimming pool is west facing with a pool house adjacent, providing space for dining and changing rooms, kitchenette, WC, sauna, and shower room. The tennis court has an accompanying tennis hut. The grounds comprises a beautifully manicured rose garden designed by landscape architect Ian Teh, herbaceous borders, an orchard, a mix of norwegian maple, irish yews magnolia grandiflora trees and a large paddock.
