Property Details
A very individual Grade II listed home set in stunning grounds, extending to over two acres, set on either side of the Hennerton Backwater.
Reception 1
Being brought to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this unique detached home is set within exquisitely landscaped gardens that sweep gracefully down to the Hennerton Backwater. A rare and captivating opportunity, the property blends history with thoughtfully designed extensions offering a truly special environment.
Sitting room
Originally part of the 18th century Hennerton Manor estate, the house is believed to have once served as a tearoom with bathing hut before being significantly extended in the 1980's. This transformation added a spacious reception room with the principal suite above, while later enhancements introduced further entertaining areas including the vine room and a guest suite.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, a ceramic sink, integrated oven and hob, and an oil-fired twin oven Raeburn which also provides heating and hot water for the property.
Upstairs the principal suite has enviable views overlooking the gardens and includes a large en-suite bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms, one with its own en-suite bathroom, a separate shower room and small office study, distinguished by the oval window visible from the front fa'ade. A guest suite sits above one of two double garages and includes its own shower room.
Boat House
Completing the offering are two boat houses, a two-berth wet boat house with power, lighting and a boat charging point, and a dry boat house featuring a gated slipway to the river, fitted racks for canoes and skiffs, chandlery shelving and loft storage above.
Grounds
Across the backwater is a further area of garden that in Spring becomes full of Loddon Lilles and has a small storage cabin and decking, left intentionally wild to encourage the abundance of wildlife that inhabits or visits the property.
The gardens are undoubtedly the propertys crowning glory, lovingly cultivated over the past four decades. They feature an array of mature trees, sculpted hedges, flowering shrubs and trailing wisterias. Various terraces and paved areas provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining with several seating areas perfectly positioned to take in this breathtaking setting.
Situation
The house enjoys an elevated position with a favoured westerly aspect overlooking the tranquil Hennerton Backwater, equidistant from Wargrave village and from the bustling market town of Henley on Thames, famous for its music and arts festivals and, of course the Henley Royal Regatta. Wargrave offers an excellent selection of amenities including three highly regarded schools - Infant, Junior and Secondary Academy and Sixth Form alongside doctor and dental surgeries, a chemist, village store and coffee shops and two very popular public houses. Henley on Thames provides a wider array of shops, restaurants and bars, along with a theatre and three-screen cinema. For those with sporting interests, the propertys direct river access provides ample opportunity for rowing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating. Hennerton Golf Club is also nearby, and Wargrave offers facilities for sailing, tennis, cricket, and football.
Henley is home to several gyms, cricket, rugby, hockey, and football clubs, as well as rowing clubsincluding the prestigious Leander Club. Other notable schools in the area include Rupert House in Henley, Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake College, and The Oratory with several in Reading including The Abbey School and Leighton Park, many served by local bus routes.
