4 bed terraced house for sale

Greys Hill, Henley-On-Thames RG9

This exceptional four-storey, four-bedroom, Grade ii-listed Georgian townhouse is one of only two, set in a quiet, sought-after residential street within walking distance of the centre of town. Coming to market for the first time in 33 years, it has been lovingly preserved and updated by the present owners, offering a blend of classic elegance and modern convenience. The property features high ceilings and a wealth of original period features throughout.

Approaching the front door via the original Yorkstone steps from the front patio, we open into an airy hallway and find the refined drawing room and dining room, the former with original open fireplace and shutters to make an elegant space for relaxing and entertaining. To the front is a period roofed balcony accessed through full-height double veranda doors, providing uninterrupted views of the churchyard opposite. A cloakroom is situated at the rear of the ground floor, adjacent to a rear door leading to the garden. A set of stairs leads down to the large fitted kitchen, comprising a substantial central unit and opening onto a welcoming family room. A contemporary glass extension leads, via bi-fold doors, onto sandstone steps leading to the charming and exceptionally peaceful, private garden.

At the front of the kitchen is a door leading to a large cellar, currently used as a utility area. An external door leads from here via steps upwards to the herringbone-bricked front terrace of the property.

Stairs to the first floor, flanked by original bentwood handrails, lead to the exceptionally light and airy principal bedroom, guest bedroom and family bathroom, while a further set of stairs leads to two further double bedrooms and convenient shower room, offering flexible space for families and guests. High views over the rooftops of Henley can be enjoyed from all bedrooms, further enhancing the character and appeal of this beautiful, elegant and welcoming home.

Greys Hill is a wonderfully peaceful area within easy walking distance of Henley town centre and all its amenities – shops, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, health and fitness clubs, cinema, theatre, and excellent transport links. Henley railway station offers direct services into London via Twyford. For leisure, there are several golf courses nearby such as Castle Royle, Temple and Henley Golf Club, and the River Thames is just a short walk away with rowing, sailing and other recreational facilities on hand.

Garden

To the rear of the house, accessed from both the ground floor and via the bifold doors on the lower level, is a beautifully-curated garden.
Wide sandstone steps lead up to a lawn bordered by lushly-planted flower beds filled with herbaceous perennials, roses and specimen trees, including a wealth of fine acers.

A sandstone-paved terrace and Malaysian-style boardwalk creates inviting spaces for relaxation, and provides access to the rear door to the ground floor. At the rear of the garden, bordered by the original Grade ii-listed brick wall to the property, is a decked sun terrace offering an ideal spot for al fresco dining or enjoying the afternoon sun in complete seclusion.

To the front of the property is a glorious, mature wisteria with a brick-paved patio bounded by period iron gate and railings, with steps leading down to the lower floor entrance and the cellar.
