House For Sale £1,500,000
Named for the small area of trees and bushes that surrounds the property, The Spinney is a turnkey home inside and out. Externally the property is finished in crisp light-coloured render, with grey accents in the roof tiles, window frames, and doors, and extensive glass facades including gabled windows, French windows, and bay windows.
The front door lies centrally beneath a covered porch. The spacious living room lies to the left and runs the depth of the house, with bay window to the front and French windows at the rear. A new woodburning stove accentuates the cosiness of this room, which is neutrally decorated and freshly carpeted. Passing through the living room, the study is situated at the rear of the property, overlooking a small patio and garden beyond. The study is finished in calming grey tones and is ideal for homeworking. The double garage can also be accessed from the study, and boasts electric doors, tiled floors and a utility area complete with sink, plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and fitted cabinets. The current owners have found this space to be incredibly useful, especially when bringing the dogs home from muddy country walks!
Proceeding straight ahead from the entrance hall, the kitchen-cum-breakfast room sits centrally overlooking the rear garden. Here, a vast gabled glass façade with French windows makes for a bright space, making the most of the garden and surrounding woodlands. The kitchen presents as new in a contemporary country style, with bespoke fitted cabinetry, smart Dekton countertops and integrated appliances.
To the left of the entrance hall, the large dining room currently houses both a dining table and a pool table, as well as a comfortable reading nook. Another striking glass gable here opens to the front garden, as well as a small patio to the side.
An internal hallway proceeds left from the entrance hall to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms includes integrated wardrobes and French windows opening onto a patio at the front corner of the house.
The entrance hall also hosts a downstairs WC, a coat cupboard, and stairs to the first floor.
The first floor occupies the entire roof-space and features sloped ceilings, Velux windows, and dormer windows to the front with views over the front garden and surrounding countryside. To the right, the impressive principal bedroom includes a newly fitted en suite shower room, a dressing room area, and a walk-in wardrobe. To the left, a second large bedroom suite features a roll-top bath and WC, along with the generous bedroom area and plenty of storage.
The house is set back from the road behind an electric country-style wooden gate that opens onto a generous gravel driveway with room for several cars. The large front lawn is ringed with fencing, trees, and hedges, offering a high degree of privacy. There is a large shed next to the main gate, while a smaller gate in the far corner leads to an adjacent footpath and off to lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. There is a patio outside the larger ground floor bedroom and the dining room, increasing the available space for guests and residents and enabling the benefit of the gardens during all hours.
The rear garden is surrounded by a small, wooded area, offering a high degree of privacy and peace. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, enclosed by wooden fencing with shrub borders. A summerhouse occupies one of the far corners, next to a small pond. The rear garden is accessible from the front via a wooden gate and can also be accessed via the living room and the kitchen. There are patio areas at each end of the house: Outside the study, the patio houses a hot tub; by the kitchen, a larger patio offers an al fresco entertainment space. Outdoor lighting has been installed by the current owners, allowing for a beautiful and atmospheric space to be enjoyed after the sun sets.
The Spinney lies in a semi-rural position on the border between the thriving villages of Shiplake and Binfield Heath, a stone's throw from the Chiltern Hills Area of Natural Beauty. Fantastic countryside walks are right on the doorstep. Shiplake primary school is moments away, while across the road is the highly regarded Orwell's restaurant. Binfield Heath Post Office and Stores are approximately half a mile down the road, along with the village recreation ground. Shiplake and Binfield Heath boast three pubs, a historic church and village hall, a railway station (London Paddington in circa 50 minutes), a respected public school and access to the river Thames.
Henley town centre is approximately three miles away, where a range of restaurants, shops, schools and other civic amenities can be found. Henley has a packed social calendar, the highlight of which is the annual Royal Regatta. The larger town of Reading is around five miles away and the national road network can be joined to the south via the M4 J10 (ten miles) or to the north via the M40 J4 (15 miles).
