6 bed detached house for sale

Northfield End, Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9

Northlea House is a very special Grade II listed house within a short walking distance of the town centre, with excellent family and guest accommodation, including a two bedroom annexe, with beautiful formal and lawned gardens including woodland.

Northlea House is a rare example in Henley, of a substantial detached Victorian villa. With handsome red brick elevations, the house, which is Grade II Listed and dates
from 1866, was totally restored in 2013 supervised by Jeremy Spratley architects with all building works undertaken by the renowned firm Boshers. Throughout, the
quality of work and fit out is of the highest standard. The proportions of the ground floor rooms and indeed the rooms on the first and second floors are wonderful. The
ceiling heights are excellent, sash windows provide wonderful daylight and even the lower ground floor/basement has been superbly converted to a cinema room, gym, laundry and services area. The bespoke handmade Martin Moore kitchen has an electric aga with induction hob, central island, double Belfast sink and fitted units and is flooded with light from the cupola above. There is a rear hallway with an area for boots and coats. The bathrooms are spacious, of timeless style, with C P hart furnishings and fittings of the highest quality.

The Coach House provides superb ancillary accommodation, with two bedrooms and a shower room. It would equally be ideal as a home office/studio.

Northlea House, located within 150 metres of Phyllis Court Club, offers excellent parking to the front and side of the main house, with a discreet double garage. There is equally excellent parking for the Coach House, all behind a red brick wall with foliage providing further privacy.

The gardens are exquisite, having been beautifully designed at the time the house restoration was undertaken. There are large sections of walled garden, laid principally to lawn but with beautiful established herbaceous borders on most sides. The gardens are adorned with pleached hornbeam trees and box hedges. There is a raised terrace and seating area, with water feature, at the back of the house directly accessed from the outstanding garden room. In the corner of the garden there is a delightful seating area, and beyond the formal garden lies an area of woodland garden with three magnificent specimen trees.
