About this property

One of Nettlebed’s finest homes, this 18th-century townhouse is a striking property in the centre of the village with excellent access to the many popular amenities.

The property is Grade II listed and notable for its well-preserved character, including a pleasingly symmetrical façade of tall sash windows and an imposing pedimented front door. Inside the original features continue with open fireplaces, wood floors and doors and decorative plasterwork and the interiors have been decorated in a complementary style which suits the age and grandeur of the property.

The spacious layout offers a wealth of options for entertaining, including two generous reception rooms at the front of the house, a sizeable sitting room with double doors opening to the outside terrace, and a relaxing kitchen and breakfast room which enjoys excellent natural light – the latter is perfect for informal family occasions. The accommodation is arranged over five floors and there is a generous cellar at basement level which is currently used for storage.

The bedrooms are arranged over the first, second and third floors, including three spacious double bedrooms, a principal bedroom with en suite bath/shower room on the first floor, together with a family bathroom; two further double bedrooms on the second floor and a sizeable en suite bedroom on the top floor which would make a lovely guest suite.

Outside
The house enjoys a central position in Nettlebed on the village high street, though benefits from private parking and a double garage accessed to the rear via a shared gravel driveway. To the rear of the house there is an idyllic courtyard-style garden which is mostly paved for convenience and features a number of flowerbeds stocked with specimen trees, shrubs, colourful flowering plants and herbaceous borders. A path leads through a charming arch to a gate at the rear to access the parking area. Adjoining the house there is a covered terrace providing outdoor dining in all weathers.

Situation
The sought-after village of Nettlebed is just four miles from the historic riverside town of Henley-on-Thames and is well-regarded for its charming village green, excellent local amenities, primary school, and access to beautiful countryside walks. Henley provides a vibrant mix of boutique shopping, fine dining, and the famous Henley Royal Regatta. The surrounding Chiltern Hills provide superb walking and cycling; a popular local route combines Nettlebed and the Warburg Nature Reserve in a circular route with the local creamery and cafe, The Cheese Shed. The property is conveniently located for commuters, with easy access to the M4 (J8/9) and M40 motorways, both approximately 12 miles away. Reading and Oxford are also within a short drive, and there is a bus stop in Nettlebed that provides transport to several prestigious schools, including Abingdon Boys', St Helen’s & St Katharine’s, Moulsford Prep, Cranford House, and Queen Anne’s. Other renowned schools nearby include The Oratory and Reading Bluecoat.
