Approached via a long driveway, The Old Dairy is an impressive and extensive family home, set in scenic countryside, just a three minute walk from the river Thames. The current owners have extended The Old Dairy with flexible family living and entertaining in mind. Surrounded by fields and woodland, the private grounds are predominantly south facing with a stream running alongside the eastern boundary.
On entering, the open and light reception hall, which has bifolding doors directly out to the covered courtyard garden and fountain, leads to the principal living areas of the house including the open plan dining room and conservatory, as well as the large family kitchen/breakfast room, with an adjoining study. The large sitting room, which has windows on two sides and bi-folding doors to the south facing terrace and gardens, is a perfect family area for relaxing, equally ideal for formal entertaining. There is also a calming library area, in the inner hall and a bedroom with en suite bathroom is centrally located on the ground floor, as well as a craft room, studio and large gym. There is also a flower room and workshop as well as an integrated double garage.
On the first floor, there are an additional four bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, mezzanine dressing area, and a private balcony, overlooking the gardens and to the woodland and open countryside beyond. Another bedroom also has an en suite bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms share a connected bathroom. Additionally, there are two offices tucked away up a separate spiral staircase, on the first floor. The second floor features a purpose-built games room accessed by step ladders from the two bedrooms below.
The basement has a sizable and modern cinema room, with a striking underground bar.
Garden and Grounds
The predominantly south facing gardens and grounds include two covered courtyards, one with a fountain and the other currently used for table tennis. Patios and decked terraces lead out from the south and west elevations of the house, with a hot tub and swimspa pool and views out to the lawned gardens and farmland. A stream runs along the eastern boundary and there is a giant chessboard, firepit circle and children's play-area also.
Extensive storage and a workshop (with separate gardener's WC) are found adjacent to the front of the property, alongside two storage containers, a garden office (with another separate WC) and raised viewing terrace. Additionally, three garden pods provide further sleeping accommodation, with integrated shower rooms and kitchenettes, ideal for extra guests.
In all about 3.72 acres.
Situation
The Old Dairy is located in the bustling village of Hurley, nestled along the banks of the river Thames. This energetic community has its own tennis and cricket clubs, as well as hosting regattas and village fetes. The village offers accommodation in a historic hotel dating back to medieval times. Additionally, there is a cozy public house and a handy
village shop catering to everyday needs.
For a wider variety of shopping, dining options, and pubs, residents can explore the neighbouring towns of Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, and Maidenhead. The area also offers excellent educational opportunities, including prestigious schools like Wycombe Abbey, Sir William Borlase Grammar School in Marlow, Lambrook, and Eton College.
In addition to several nearby golf clubs, leisure activities abound, with scenic walks along the river Thames path, opportunities for boating and rowing on the river, and horse racing events at Windsor and Ascot nearby.
