Description

An exceptional Victorian home, originally built in 1896, which has been elegantly extended and updated. The property retains many of its original character features and generous proportions, while offering modern enhancements throughout. The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and is presented to a high standard.

The contemporary additions beautifully complement the period features, adding a luxurious finish throughout. Works include the addition of an orangery with a cellar/home office, newly appointed bathrooms, underfloor heating in most ground floor rooms, refurbished ceilings and windows and a full redecoration.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. Two reception rooms overlook the front, a sitting room and a formal dining room, both featuring large bay windows and built in fireplaces. The dining room is fitted with bespoke cabinetry on either side of the chimney breast.

To the rear of the hallway is a spacious family room with a large feature bay window overlooking a private terraced area, perfect for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining.

The bespoke designed kitchen is a particular highlight, featuring Italian granite worktops over dark wood cabinetry and integrated Bosch appliances. The kitchen is open plan to a breakfast area and the adjoining orangery, which overlooks the garden and floods the room with natural light.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a utility room off the rear of the kitchen, a home office/study in the lower ground floor accessed via the orangery, and a separate cloakroom at the end of the hall.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

Outside, the property sits within the Henley Conservation Area in an elevated position on the corner of St Andrews Road and Vicarage Road. Vehicle access is via electronically operated gates on Vicarage Road, providing security and privacy to a gravel driveway with parking for several cars. A separate pedestrian entrance is located on St Andrews Road.

The gardens are attractively landscaped and enclosed by mature trees and hedging. There are two lawned areas, one to the north side and another in the southwest corner, alongside a fabulous paved terrace sun trap, ideal for entertaining, with a barbecue area and space for a hot tub. Extensive borders have been planted with shrubs and herbs. At the far end of the garden, a detached garden studio with light and power offers a variety of uses.
