Binfield Heath, Henley-on-thames, RG9

Description

A beautifully charming semi-detached cottage, set in the heart of the pretty village of Binfield Heath, which has been comprehensively renovated, extended and refurbished to an exceptional standard. The property retains an abundance of original character and charm, beautifully complemented by contemporary finishes, generous room sizes and an excellent attention to detail throughout.

The impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the home, with a stylish high-specification kitchen, large central island, bespoke media wall and two sets of bi-folding doors opening onto the south-facing garden. A large rooflight floods the dining area with natural light, while the generous patio creates an excellent connection between the house and garden, ideal for entertaining and modern family living.

A separate sitting room provides a quieter and more characterful reception space, featuring an original York stone fireplace, log burner and large sash windows, whilst retaining a visual connection with the main living area. There is also a study, cloakroom, concealed walk-in pantry and utility room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly impressive feature, enjoying a wonderful vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beam, roof windows, built-in storage and attractive views over the surrounding countryside with an en-suite. There are two further double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, together with a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvement, including new windows, doors, electrics, plumbing, heating and insulation, alongside a high-quality internal finish. The result is a character home offering modern comfort and efficiency without compromising its original appeal.

A significant benefit is the fully self-contained annexe, converted from the former garage and offering a double bedroom/living area, kitchen and en-suite shower room. With its own independent services, it provides superb flexibility for guests, family members, older children or home working.

The beautifully landscaped south-facing garden is another particular highlight. A large natural-stone terrace leads from the bi-folding doors onto the lawn, with mature planting, established roses and characterful apple trees creating a delightful cottage-garden feel. To the rear is an insulated garden studio/workshop, offering further versatile space for a home office, gym, studio or hobbies. There is even a hot and cold dog shower.

To the front, a newly created gated driveway provides generous parking and has significantly improved both accessibility and the property’s approach.

Situated in an enviable position within Binfield Heath, the property is directly opposite the village playing fields and children’s play area and just a short stroll from the village shop, Post Office and coffee shop. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and an extensive network of footpaths, yet within approximately 4 miles of Henley-on-Thames and 5 miles of Reading, the property combines a peaceful village lifestyle with excellent accessibility.
