Northfield End, Henley On Thames

Sydney House, stands on a prominent corner position in the heart of the conservation area of Henley-on-Thames. Recently the subject of major renovation with careful and exacting attention, this elegant home has been expertly curated to retain much of its original period detail, including exposed sections of brick and timber beam work, whilst blending the modernity one expects for a modern family home. The accommodation, which is over four floors, is arranged off a welcoming hallway and large landing. Throughout, there is a wonderful feeling of space and serenity with light flooding in through the large period windows. On the ground floor, the kitchen and dining room are open plan; the kitchen has been cleverly designed around a central island, beyond is the utility room and, connecting the areas, beautiful glazed doors step out to an amazing courtyard garden creating a fantastic, inside/out feel, ideal for alfresco dining and a wonderful suntrap with its southerly aspect. Also on the ground floor are the elegant sitting room and a separate study The lower basement has been converted to a family cinema room and gym, whilst the upper floors have seven generous bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is a fully independent self contained apartment on the top floor, again, beautifully styled which is either accessed through the house or via the spiral stairs from the garden. Location Northfield End is a conservation area, with Phyllis Court Members club close by. The wonderful amenities of the thriving town centre are moments away, and crucially also some wonderful walks up into the Chiltern Hills or along the world famous stretch of the River Thames.
