Local information
The property is located in a highly sought-after quiet area in the village of Shiplake. The train station, village shop and butchers are all within 450m.
The Thameside village of Shiplake has traditional local amenities and shops. Shiplake railway station is in the heart of the village, only one stop from Henley and giving mainline access via Twyford (8 mins) or Reading (18 mins) with a fast service to London, Paddington (from 29 mins) with Crossrail allowing direct access to the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow. The area is well served for schools, including Shiplake Primary, Shiplake College, Reading Blue Coat, The Abbey School for Girls and Queen Anne's.

The historic riverside town of Henley-on-Thames (2 miles) has superb facilities including a Waitrose, individual cafe's and restaurants, a fine variety of shops and public houses and is home to the world famous Regatta and Festival.
Accommodation
The property dates from 1889 and is consequently very well-proportioned throughout. There are high ceilings, large sash windows, original architrave, skirting and wooden flooring in many areas. Traditional double doors leads to a high ceiling entrance lobby which is square and bright with a traditional black and white tiled floor. A glazed door leads to a spacious internal hallway with good storage and further to the reception rooms. The drawing room is a large, elegant reception and entertaining space. Double aspect French doors and windows give floor to ceiling views over the garden and a large central open fireplace provides a central focal point. A double height ceiling complimented by a ceiling rose, original cornicing, a restored Victorian wooden floor, bespoke wall panelling and a stunningly detailed mantel all combine to create a unique and impressive space. The formal dining room is equally impressive with an over-sized feature fireplace and tall sash window. Opposite is the kitchen, breakfast and family room. The kitchen has under floor heating and is fitted with bespoke hand made and painted pale grey shaker units and includes built in Neff appliances and granite work surfaces. The neighbouring utility room is fitted in a matching style. The kitchens' peninsular bar has space for stool seating and a breakfast table beyond, and further to a relaxed family seating area overlooking the garden. This area has a partially glazed roof and French doors to the patio and therefore enjoys an abundance of light. From the utility room is a door to both the garage and the lower ground floor reception room. This is currently used a family cinema room and includes plenty of storage space.
The final reception room on the ground floor is the study, which benefits from twin windows with white wooden shutters and underfloor heating. The ground floor is completed by an attractive traditional w.c. With a high level cistern, high specification marble basin stand, white wooden shuttered window and a Victorian style patterned tile floor.
The staircase has a curved walnut rail and winds up to the bedroom accommodation. The main bedroom has double aspect windows, both with wooden shutters and underfloor heating. There is a wall of built in wardrobes and space for a dressing area. The ensuite shower room has been recently re-fitted to a high specification and includes a walk in shower and underfloor heating. There are three further double bedrooms all with high ceilings and sash windows. The family bathroom is spacious and again fitted with high specification white sanitary wear in keeping with the period of the property. There is a free-standing curved bath and separate walk in shower and the room further benefits from underfloor heating. The loft is partially boarded for storage with a velux window.
Outside space
At the front of the house is a gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and a mature bed with tall hedges for privacy. There is also a double garage with two electric doors and underfloor heating. The garage is spacious and includes an internal door to the garden.
At the rear, the garden begins with a terrace that wraps around the house. To one side is a bespoke modern fully glazed garden sun room. It has power and lighting and benefits from sliding doors that create a fabulous indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The lawn is on two levels, a feature resulting from the houses' former life as a manor where the carriages would pull up and deliver guests. The lawn is surrounded by mature plants, beds and trees creating a private space.
