Vicarage Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9

An exceptional period property, extensively extended and meticulously refurbished to offer the look, feel and functionality of a modern home, while retaining its attractive original façade.

Description

The house dates from approximately 1890 and is of traditional brick construction with a slate roof, combining period character with high quality modern improvements. The property has been significantly enhanced and extended by the current owners, including a double storey extension and two single storey additions, together with a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, including re plumbing, re wiring and replacement hardwood double glazed windows.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers an excellent balance of living and bedroom space, well suited to modern family living, with a particularly strong emphasis on quality of finish throughout.

The ground floor is particularly well designed, with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a bay fronted sitting room with a fireplace. To the rear, a substantial kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, beautifully appointed with bespoke Leicht cabinetry and a full suite of integrated Siemens appliances, including oven, steam oven, warming drawer, induction hob with concealed rise and fall extractor, full height fridge and freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen offers a central peninsula and ample space for dining, flowing seamlessly into a further family/garden room. Both the dining space and family room benefit from bifold doors opening onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden and allowing the space to be opened entirely on warmer days. A separate utility room, fitted to match with Leicht cabinetry and Siemens appliances, together with a cloakroom, complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, complemented by two further double bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding resin cast bath by Victoria + Albert and separate shower. The bathrooms are finished to a high specification with natural limestone tiling, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, Duravit walnut consoles, and Hansgrohe brassware, including Axor Philippe Starck fittings. On the second floor there are two additional bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for guests, children or a study.

Throughout the house there is a consistent use of quality natural materials, including limestone flooring to the kitchen, utility, driveway and terrace, engineered oak flooring within the principal living areas, and natural wool carpets to the bedrooms.

Outside, to the front, there is a private driveway providing off-street parking, finished in natural stone. The rear garden is attractively arranged with a raised limestone terrace leading onto a lawn, bordered by mature planting, providing a private setting for both entertaining and day-to-day enjoyment.
