Bell Street, Henley On Thames

Adam House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed home with an impressive Palladian facade ideally situated in the heart of Henley’s historic old town, with shops, restaurants, the River Thames and all local amenities just a short walk away. The property offers generous and versatile accommodation, comprising six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, two of which are en-suite. The elegant principal drawing room retains many original period features and is complemented by two further reception rooms, together with a charming open-plan family kitchen/breakfast room centred around a wood-burning stove. Attractive oak flooring extends throughout much of the property, enhancing its warmth and character. Outside, the property enjoys a delightful sunny secluded courtyard garden, thoughtfully landscaped and attractively planted to provide a peaceful outdoor space that is both private and relatively low maintenance. A particularly valuable feature is the inclusion of three dedicated parking spaces in the nearby private Adam Court residents’ car park. Between 2014 and 2017, Adam House underwent an extensive and highly sympathetic renovation, carefully combining modern comforts with the preservation of its historic character. The programme of works included complete rewiring and replumbing, a new roof, replacement of all leadwork, comprehensive repointing, and significant insulation upgrades, including the installation of breathable wood fibre insulation with lime plaster to the internal walls, helping to maintain the building’s natural breathability. To future-proof the property, Cat 6 data cabling was installed throughout, all connected to a central communications hub. During the renovation every floorboard was lifted, the joists were thoroughly inspected and reinforced where necessary, and all debris was removed from beneath the floors to reduce fire risk. The property also benefits from the installation of a Greenstar 8000 Worcester Bosch boiler installed April 2026, supplied with a 12-year manufacturer’s guarantee plus new cylinder, together with a modern sump pump system installed July 2026 in the front wine cellar by Stonehouse (5 year guarantee), providing additional peace of mind. In addition to its grand front entrance, the property also benefits from having a separate side entrance which is ideal when coming home with muddy boots and muddy dogs, who can be washed in the dog shower in the adjacent utility room. Offering an exceptional combination of historic character, high-quality craftsmanship, modern infrastructure and a prime central location, Adam House is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Henley’s finest period homes.
