House For Sale £7,500,000
A quintessential, period home situated on a magnificent 2.2-acre plot, adjoining the River Thames.
Bird Place is a landmark property uniquely situated adjoining the River Thames. Dating from the Eighteenth century, Bird Place is a two-minute walk from the centre of Henley and yet separated from the town by the River Thames.
The property requires some refurbishment but enjoys approximately 7,500 square feet of accommodation in total, over three levels. High ceilings and period features abound, with a grand gated driveway leading up steps to the main entrance through which a large hall is situated, with spectacular formal Drawing and Dining Rooms to each side.
A large family room, cloakroom and kitchen/breakfast room completes the ground floor. A cellar runs across the entire footprint of the main house, with ample space for a workshop and bespoke wine cellars.
The house benefits from large working fireplaces and the space to store wood in dry conditions.
There are seven bedrooms on the first floor, the highlight being the principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and outstanding views over the grounds. There are three further bedrooms, serviced by three further bathrooms and all benefitting from magnificent views over the grounds.
Gardens and Grounds,
The gardens and grounds are a true highlight of Bird Place.
The outdoor space is not much smaller than Henley cricket pitch, with private moorings, a scenic inlet with reed beds, a private bridge and even a pitch-and-putt across water creating a unique riverside estate.
The 400 feet of moorings have occasionally been let in the past, as have the gravel driveways which extend around the side of the property.
Significant large trees of Hornbeam and Horse Chestnut, interspersed with Yew, create a 'secret garden' atmosphere and an immaculate lawn stretching from the house to the river and furthest perimeter to the sunny South aspect. An orangery by the river is ideal for entertainment or working from home and, of course, the heated swimming pool provides relaxation in a quintessential English Country garden. Bird Place is the definition of a best-in-class home. With its mixed commercial permits, Bird Place has the potential to generate between £50,000 - £100,000 in rental income per year.<br /><br />
