Spectacular home with barn conversion in the beautiful Hambleden Valley
Description
Originally part of Yewden Manor which dates from 16th Century. Yewden Place was originally converted in 1960s and is part of a collection of other properties forming a small community at Mill End. The property has been beautifully refurbished in recent years and now includes a stunning barn conversion within this elegant living space which is superbly presented throughout. Period features have been retained and there is a wealth of exposed beams and open fireplaces providing the perfect interior for the charming brick and flint façade.
The drawing room is magnificent, being the original barn with exposed timbers, mezzanine study, wood flooring, open fireplace and bi-fold doors opening to the covered garden terrace. There is a double aspect sitting room, also with an open fireplace with built-in bookshelves to one side and doors to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wood and painted cupboards housing an excellent range of built-in appliances including an Aga arranged around a central island. This opens to the dining space, also with limestone flooring, a door to the garden and stairs rising to the first floor. Here there are two bedrooms and a separate shower room.
The principal bedroom is accessed via a staircase from the reception hall and benefits from views over the valley, en suite bathroom and dressing area. To the ground floor is a study which could also be used as a fourth bedroom, a separate utility room and cloakroom.
From the road there is designated parking for Yewden Place close to the entrance to the property via elegant wrought iron gates opening to a stunning walled courtyard garden. This south and west facing garden provides peace and privacy with areas of lawn and flowerbeds full of perennials, roses, box and climbers as well as a covered dining area accessed from the drawing room.
Agent's note: Please note that the property is subject to a National Trust covenant.
Location
Yewden Place is beautifully and conveniently situated at the foot of the Hambleden Valley between Henley-on-Thames and Marlow approximately half a mile from Hambleden village which forms the heart of the former Hambleden Estate. It is arguably one of the most sought after prime residential locations to the west of London with easy access from London Heathrow airport, combining convenience with outstanding Chiltern Hills countryside offering miles of horse riding, cycling, boating and walking right on its doorstep and easy walking distance to the Hambleden Marina and Henley lock and weir.
Both Henley-on-Thames and Marlow offer excellent shopping, restaurant, recreational and leisure facilities together with good transport links to central London via the M4 and M40 and with trains to London Paddington via Maidenhead (9 miles) and via Twyford respectively. Direct main line train services from High Wycombe (10 miles) to London Marylebone take about 35 minutes.
A wide range of independent schools include Rupert House School, Shiplake College, Wycombe Abbey, Eton, Queen Anne’s School, The Oratory and Caldicott. Other recreational facilities include golf at Huntercombe, Temple, Harleyford, and Henley.
