Hart Street, Henley-on-Thames, RG9

Description

Prominently positioned on Henley’s iconic Hart Street, this Grade II listed timber framed townhouse is one of only two remaining full houses on the street. Dating back to the 1500s with later Regency and Victorian additions, it has been beautifully renovated to blend period character, exposed beams, wattle and daub, sash windows and inglenook fireplaces with contemporary comforts including underfloor heating, a sleek modern kitchen, a glass-and-wood staircase and a smart wood burning stove.
Extending over five floors and just under 2,700 sq ft, the accommodation is far larger than the façade suggests. Every room has been finished to an exceptional standard, with luxurious materials, heritage tones and high quality detailing throughout. Upper floors enjoy superb views across Henley’s rooftops and towards the Thames.

The ground floor includes an inviting reception room, study and a contemporary kitchen with wraparound bifolds opening to the garden. A utility area sits in the cellar. The first floor offers a front reception room with an oriel window overlooking Hart Street, plus a dressing room/bedroom with en suite.
Two further en suite bedrooms occupy the second floor, with a final bedroom, shower room and storage on the third.

To the rear lies a remarkable 200 ft walled burgage garden — a private town centre oasis. Beautifully landscaped, it features a large entertaining terrace with outdoor kitchen, lawned areas, a further terrace with swimming pool, a covered games area and a converted air raid shelter now used as a workshop and sauna.
Established planting, raised beds and a charming kitchen garden complete the space. Resident’s permit parking is available locally, with a private parking space nearby by separate negotiation.

Superbly positioned on Henley’s vibrant Hart Street, the property sits moments from the town’s boutiques, cafés, restaurants and riverside walks, with Henley Bridge just 150 metres away. Reading and Maidenhead are easily accessible for wider amenities.
The area offers excellent schooling, including The Oratory, Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake College and Queen Anne’s.
Henley station provides fast services to London Paddington via Twyford and Reading, with onward Elizabeth line connections. The A404 links to the M4, M25, Heathrow, the West Country and the M40 towards Oxford and the Midlands.
Recreational options include golf at Badgemore Park, Huntercombe, Temple and Henley Golf Club, extensive countryside walking and riding, and superb boating on the Thames — all reinforcing Henley’s status as a highly desirable lifestyle destination.
