Turville Heath, Henley-On-Thames RG9

A design-led 4 bedroom country retreat combining period charm and contemporary architecture, set in landscaped gardens with open views, just over an hour from London.

Set within the sought-after hamlet of Turville Heath, this thoughtfully extended cottage combines traditional character with confident contemporary architecture. The house is arranged to maximise light, views and flow, with beautifully landscaped gardens and open countryside beyond, creating a private and well-balanced home in an established Chilterns location.

Summerheath Cottage offers the best of both worlds, seamlessly combining character and contemporary design. The original brick and flint cottage has two charming bedrooms and a bathroom, alongside a vaulted drawing room and a wood-burning stove.

A dramatic glass staircase leads to an exceptional principal suite. The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a full-height glass window overlooking the garden and fields beyond, with a luxurious en-suite and dressing area. A second generous en-suite bedroom complements the accommodation.

Turville Heath is regarded as one of the most desirable locations in the area, characterised by its unspoilt landscape, period buildings and established reputation.

The area is well served by respected schools, including Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School, making it popular with families.

The area has long attracted residents from the creative and professional communities, drawn by its privacy and understated appeal. Despite its rural setting, there is convenient access to London, making it suitable as either a main residence or a country retreat.
