Just 2.3 miles from the historic town of Henley-on-Thames, this exceptional property combines striking contemporary form with practical, family-friendly function, all set within 1.7 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds that include a meandering brook.

The residence features nearly 3,800 sq. ft of internal living space, thoughtfully arranged over generous open-plan layouts, all enhanced by double-height ceilings and triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows that invite light and landscape into every room.

This includes an effective ventilation heat recovery system that helps to future-proof it against rising energy costs while maintaining comfort year-round.

Ground Floor:

Step into the breathtaking ground floor of Brookfield — a masterpiece of design, elegance, and comfort that immediately captivates the senses. There is an expanse of luxurious Italian porcelain tile flooring, which seamlessly flows through to the stunning entertainment terrace, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

Every inch of this level has been curated with intention and style. The open-plan kitchen is a culinary dream — featuring a double oven, expansive bench space, and the all-important walk-in pantry for effortless entertaining and everyday living. It’s a space where elegance meets functionality in perfect harmony.
Tucked away for privacy and productivity are two beautifully appointed home offices, ideal for remote work or creative retreats. A serene bedroom downstairs offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, while the stunning bathroom is like stepping into a boutique hotel — elegant, sleek, and inviting.

In the heart of the lounge, a newly installed designer fireplace glows with warmth, creating the perfect ambiance to unwind after a long day. And with electric blinds adorning the windows, you’re in full control - soak in the daylight, block the sun at its peak, or relax under a canopy of stars in the evening.

Brookfield’s ground floor includes a boot room and WC but isn’t just a living space — it’s an experience. A sanctuary of refined luxury and timeless character, where every detail has been considered and every finish tells a story.

First Floor:

Brookfield has always been synonymous with luxury living — and its first floor is a masterclass in high-end residential design. From its expansive principal suite to thoughtfully designed utility spaces, every inch of this level has been crafted with style, comfort, and elegance in mind.

Perhaps one of the most unexpected and delightful features of the first floor is the hallway overlook, which offers sweeping views of the gorgeous ground floor below. This architectural design element not only creates a stunning visual connection between levels but also adds a sense of grandeur and openness to the entire home.

At the heart of the first floor lies a huge principal suite. This room is a true retreat, featuring a gorgeous ensuite bathroom complete with fixtures and fittings imported directly from Australia. The design is both sleek and contemporary, enhanced by curved glass features that lend a sense of architectural fluidity and refinement. Dual entry points to a luxurious dressing room provide ease of access and an elevated sense of flow throughout the space.

Beyond the principal suite, two further spacious bedrooms offer outstanding views, showcasing the beauty of the surrounding landscape and drawing natural light deep into the interiors. Each room is crafted to maximise both comfort and visual appeal, making them ideal for family, guests, or even a high-end home office.

Adding further value to the layout is the all-important utility room — located upstairs for maximum convenience. Perfectly appointed to accommodate a washer, dryer, ironing area, and ample storage, this room blends functionality with aesthetics. It’s the kind of practical luxury that modern homeowners deeply appreciate.

Outside:

The home sits on 1.7 acres of private, secure land, accessed via an electric gated driveway, with manicured gardens and natural water features that enhance the serene ambiance. There is a generous double garage with EV car charging points and large shelves for log storage. There is on-site space for 4 additional cars alongside the internal drive. Also impressive is a large shed built to the same quality as the house. This has power, hot and cold water and a WC. There is an electric stair lift adjacent to the main entrance that can also be used to convey heavy items into the house. Main area grass cutting is facilitated by a robot mower.

Just a 5-minute drive to Henley-on-Thames — famed for its regatta, riverside dining, and boutique shops — the village offers a quiet lifestyle without sacrificing access to city amenities.
