This exceptional Grade II listed property forms part of the historic Hunt's Farmstead, which was thoughtfully converted into individual homes in 2018.
Combining original period features with beautifully considered modern finishes, including underfloor heating, a smart heating system, double glazing and excellent insulation, the property offers wonderfully versatile accommodation, a stunning garden and the added attraction of a recently installed shepherd's hut, all set against an idyllic rural backdrop.
Hunts Farmhouse can be approached either through the original farmstead, via the front entrance, or along its own private driveway, which leads directly into the garden. A pathway takes you to the front door and into a welcoming entrance area.
To one side is a beautifully appointed shower room, featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall, WC and stylish vanity unit. There is also a particularly useful utility room, fitted with contemporary units and composite work surfaces, with space and plumbing for appliances and housing the boiler.
This charming vestibule leads down into the heart of the home, a beautifully fitted Shaker-style kitchen with an excellent range of wall and base units, plentiful storage and space for dining. A traditional Belling range cooker with electric hob, double Butler sink and brushed steel taps complement the cabinetry perfectly, creating a kitchen that is as practical as it is attractive.
The kitchen flows naturally through to a wonderful family room, which could equally be used as a generous dining room or additional reception space. French doors open onto the garden, making this a lovely room for entertaining and enjoying the views throughout the seasons.
The principal sitting room is full of character, with an original inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, exposed beams and attractive double aspect windows. This is a wonderfully atmospheric room with a real sense of history, while the exposed brickwork and timber detailing are reminders of the building's original farmstead heritage. Stairs rise to the first floor.
Upstairs are two impressive double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly magnificent, with generous proportions, a front aspect, exposed brickwork and wonderful architectural detailing.
The second bedroom is another excellent double, featuring a vaulted ceiling and exposed brick chimney breast.
A beautifully finished family bathroom completes the accommodation, with a P-shaped bath and shower over, stylish vanity unit, WC and rear aspect.
The outside space is every bit as special as the house itself. From the family room, timber and slate steps lead into the beautifully landscaped garden, with a lawned area, raised sleeper beds and a generous patio providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
But perhaps the most unexpected feature is the recently installed shepherd's hut. Beautifully finished and accessed via its own steps, this gorgeous additional space provides incredibly versatile accommodation, perfect for visiting guests, a home office, studio or creative workspace. With a double bed and charming wood-burning stove, it is a truly enchanting space and a wonderful addition to the property.
A useful log store sits to the rear, while the garden enjoys far-reaching views across the Chiltern Valley, creating an exceptionally peaceful and private setting.
There is an annual service charge of £500 - £750 for the maintenance of the courtyard.
Despite its wonderfully rural setting, the property is ideally positioned for enjoying everything Henley-on-Thames has to offer. The town is just a short drive away, providing an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday amenities, together with the River Thames and its many leisure opportunities.
Henley is renowned for its beautiful riverside setting, vibrant calendar of events and excellent choice of schools, while the surrounding Chiltern countryside offers an abundance of walking and cycling routes. For commuters, Henley railway station provides regular services towards London, while the M4, M40 and wider road network are readily accessible. The combination of peaceful countryside living with easy access to Henley and London makes this an enviable location.
A truly special property that successfully combines historic charm, stylish modern living and exceptional outdoor space. The beautifully converted accommodation, enchanting shepherd's hut and breathtaking rural views make this a home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. We strongly recommend an early viewing.
