Dairy Lane, Hambleden, Henley-on-Thames, Buckinghamshire, RG9

A unique former dairy, beautifully reimagined for modern living in an exceptional Hambleden Valley setting.

Description

Occupying an enviable position at the foot of the Hambleden Valley, Dairy Cottage is a distinctive and beautifully presented home offering approximately 2,150 sq ft of thoughtfully designed accommodation. Combining the charm and character of a former Victorian dairy with a striking contemporary extension, the property enjoys a spectacular setting surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the area.

The property has been carefully configured to create a wonderful balance between character and modern family living. At its heart is an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family room, designed as a bright and sociable space with extensive glazing and bi fold doors framing the surrounding landscape. Flooded with natural light and enjoying an effortless connection with the terrace and gardens, it provides an outstanding space for both everyday living and entertaining.

A separate sitting room offers a more intimate retreat, centred around a wood burning stove and enjoying attractive views over the gardens, whilst a study over looking the front provides an ideal home working space. Practicality has not been overlooked, with a utility room and excellent storage throughout.

The principal bedroom is undoubtedly one of the home's most memorable features. Occupying the original Victorian dairy, the magnificent octagonal vaulted room is rich in character and architectural interest, creating a wonderful sanctuary. The room is complemented by a dressing area. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms.

Outside, the property sits comfortably within its generous plot, with terraces and gardens designed to take full advantage of the outstanding views. The gardens blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside, creating a remarkable sense of peace, privacy and connection with the landscape beyond. There is ample driveway parking, a carport, log store and further outbuildings that provide useful ancillary storage.

Location

The location is one of the property's greatest strengths. Situated at the entrance to the highly sought-after Hambleden Valley, Dairy Cottage enjoys immediate access to miles of walking, riding and cycling routes through protected Chiltern countryside. The valley is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque locations in the region, characterised by rolling hills, woodland, traditional villages and spectacular scenery throughout the seasons.

Despite its wonderfully rural feel, the property is conveniently positioned for the riverside towns of Henley-on-Thames and Marlow, both of which offer an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. For commuters, rail services from High Wycombe, Twyford, Henley-on-Thames and Marlow provide access to London Marylebone, Paddington and the Elizabeth Line. There is a regular bus service from High Wycombe to Reading that passes through Marlow and Henley with a stop local to Dairy Cottage.
