Local information
Queen Street is a period residential road in central Henley. The house's location is described in historical records as 'laid out from 1879 by Robert Owthwaite, who built three pairs of sizeable semi-detached houses at the south-east end, with attractive brick and tile-hung fronts and decorative sgraffito plasterwork'. It is located off Friday Street, one of the oldest roads in the town. It is just 200 yards to the train station and river.
Henley-on-Thames is a charming and famous riverside market town within 10 miles of Reading, 35 miles of Central London and 25 miles from Heathrow. The town offers an excellent variety of shops ranging from high-street chains to independent boutiques. There are numerous coffee shops and many restaurants offering an array of cuisines. Every summer the town hosts the world famous Royal Regatta followed by the Henley Festival and Rewind Festival. Henley is surrounded by lovely countryside, dominated by the Chiltern Hills to the north of the town.
State Primary schools include Trinity (ofsted Outstanding), Sacred Heart, Badgemore and Valley Road, plus Gillotts secondary school, and the Henley College. Fee paying schools include Rupert House and St Marys Prep, and there are buses to Shiplake College, The Oratory, Reading Blue Coat, Moulsford (boys), Wycombe Abbey and Queen Anne's School, Caversham (girls).
Accommodation
The living accommodation is flexible and split over the raised and lower ground levels. Typical of the period and style, the raised ground floor has elegant high ceilings, wooden floors and beautiful fireplaces throughout. There is a well proportioned double reception room, currently a living room and study with double doors separating the two. To one end is a large picture window and to the other glazed patio doors provide access to a balcony with steps down to the garden. Both rooms benefit from period fireplaces. This floor also has an additional room which could be converted into a guest w.c., if required. On the lower ground level, a bright dining room benefits from a pair of sash windows and an original wooden floor. The kitchen breakfast room is traditional and currently fitted with a butler sink and freestanding oven. From here there are glazed double French doors leading to wide steps up to the garden. There is a bathroom with a bath with shower over. This floor also includes the former coal cellar, which has been cleverly converted into a useful utility room.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The larger bedroom has built in storage and a Jack and Jill entrance to a smaller bedroom which could be used a dressing room, if required. The bathroom has a traditional feel with a free standing roll top bath. On the 2nd floor are two further double bedrooms.
Outside space
The front of the house shows the architecture to best effect. The painted plasterwork, gables and wide steps leading to the front porch are especially charming. The front door itself is imposing, setting the scene for the grand house beyond. There is space for two vehicles to park comfortably on the gravel driveway along with a pretty font garden, and access around the side return to the garden.
At the rear, the garden is flat and mainly laid to lawn. There are steps up to the upper level balcony and down to the kitchen. The garden has an attractive secluded feel, despite being so centrally located.
