5 bedrooms House in Busgrove Lane, Stoke Row, Henley-On-Thames RG9
Built in 2017 by a respected local firm and beautifully redecorated throughout in 2025, this detached family home sits right in the heart of Stoke Row, one of the most loved villages in the Chilterns, with protected woodland rising directly behind it and an award-winning bakery, the village shop and two much-loved pubs all within a few minutes on foot. Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 2,969 square feet, it offers five bedrooms, generous, connected living space and a genuinely versatile layout, all finished to a premium standard. Underfloor heating runs through the ground and first floors, the kitchen is fitted with Siemens appliances, and an EPC rating of B reflects how efficiently a home of this age performs. It is, in the truest sense, turnkey a house you can move into and simply begin living in. A welcoming arrival Birchwood House announces itself quietly. Electric gates, open onto a wide block-paved driveway with private parking for up to six cars, framed by clipped hedging and topiary. Ahead stands a handsome red-brick house under steep gables, its oak-framed porch giving the newly built home the warmth of something older. The hall is double-height and galleried, with an oak staircase rising through the centre and a sculptural brass pendant hanging in the well of light above. Oak flooring and doors run throughout the ground floor, and from the first moment the sense is of a home that has been thought about, and cared for, in every detail. The heart of the home Life at Birchwood House gathers, as it should, in the kitchen. A large island sits at its centre, topped in warm timber and generous enough to seat the family around it, with the induction hob built in and the room wrapping around it on every side. Handmade in a deep navy by Optiplan and set against a blue metro-tiled splashback and a Belfast sink, it is a kitchen that looks the part and works hard, two Siemens ovens, a Siemens microwave and integrated steamer, an integrated tall fridge and dishwasher, all in easy reach of the cook. The room opens to a dining area beneath pendant lights, where French doors give onto the terrace and the garden beyond. Tucked into the end wall is newly installed bespoke oak cabinetry, a stylish coffee station, the kind of considered, handmade touch that tells you the house has been loved. This is where Saturdays begin and where homework, cooking and conversation happen all at once. Off the back, a boot and utility room keeps the working part of the house out of sight, with its own Belfast sink and a door straight out to the garden for muddy boots and paws. Space to gather, retreat and entertain For all its openness, Birchwood House knows when to offer calm. The formal living room is the grown-up end of the home, a room to retreat to in the evening. It centres on a large, modern log burner set into a brick hearth beneath an oak mantel, soft carpet underfoot and its own French doors to the patio, so it stays bright by day and cosy by night. It is a room made for reading, talking and long evenings with friends, while daily life carries on around. Calm, considered and complete The first floor holds four bedrooms. The principal suite looks out over the garden and the woodland behind, with a large walk-in wardrobe and a private en-suite finished with a double vanity and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom has its own en-suite, while two further bedrooms share the family bathroom along the landing. One of these rooms is currently used as a generous dressing room, giving the house an easy five or six bedrooms depending on how a family chooses to live. A second oak staircase rises to the top floor, where two more bedrooms sit under the eaves, brightened by roof lights and served by a stylish shared bathroom. A large, fully boarded and lit storage room on this floor offers the kind of walk-in loft space most homes can only dream of. On the ground floor there is also a snug, a relaxed, comfortable room with fitted storage that works equally well as a playroom, a family television room or a quiet escape. A dedicated home office completes the ground floor with fast, reliable broadband and both owners having worked from home here for years, it is a room that earns its keep. A garden made for summer days The garden is designed to be lived in. A sandstone terrace runs the full width of the house, with seating set outside both sets of French doors so the outside space flows straight from the kitchen and the living room. To one side sits a proper garden kitchen with a barbecue and bar, ready for summer entertaining, alongside built-in seating and a spot set aside for a hot tub.

2 bedrooms House in Stoke Row Road, Kingwood, Henley-On-Thames RG9
Set in the picturesque Kingwood, a delightful 2 bedroom cottage with plentiful gardens, and generous downstairs living & entertaining space. A 400 year old 2 bedroom cottage full of charm, alongside modern entertaining space. With delightful gardens, off-road parking and easy access to Henley on Thames. Set back from the road, hidden behind soft greenery and approached along a gentle garden path, Smiths Cottage feels like a home you discover rather than arrive at. There's an immediate sense of calm here. Private, peaceful, and full of character, it offers a rare opportunity to own a detached cottage that has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern living. This is a home that doesn't try too hard. It simply welcomes you in. From the moment you step inside, there's a warmth that's hard to replicate. The current owner enters through the kitchen - and it's easy to see why. This is not just a functional space, but a true hub of the home. With its vaulted ceiling, considered layout and soft, tasteful finishes, the kitchen feels open yet intimate. There's space to cook, gather, and linger a little longer over morning coffee or an unhurried supper. It's a room that sets the tone for the entire house - relaxed, inviting, and beautifully balanced. Flowing through from the kitchen, the main reception room offers a more traditional feel. Generous in size yet wonderfully cosy, it's centred around a working fireplace - the kind that naturally draws people together. Light filters in through the windows, framing views of the garden beyond, while the blend of original features and modern touches creates a space that feels both characterful and easy to live in. Whether it's quiet evenings curled up with a book or hosting friends for drinks by the fire, this is a room that adapts effortlessly. Beyond the reception room, the home continues to reveal its practicality. The bathroom is well-proportioned and finished with both a bath and separate shower - a small but important detail that makes day-to-day living that bit more comfortable. A separate utility room sits discreetly to the side, keeping the everyday elements neatly tucked away and allowing the main living spaces to remain calm and uncluttered. Upstairs, the cottage continues its quiet charm. Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit beneath the eaves, each enjoying soft natural light and peaceful views over the surrounding garden. The principal bedroom feels calm and private - a place to retreat at the end of the day - while the second bedroom offers flexibility. Whether used as a guest room, nursery or home office, it adapts easily to changing needs. Step outside and the sense of privacy becomes even more apparent. The garden wraps gently around the cottage, with lawned areas, mature planting and a raised decking that catches the sun beautifully throughout the day. This is a garden designed for living rather than labour. Space for morning coffee, long lunches, or a glass of wine as the light softens in the evening. There's a natural flow between inside and out, especially in the warmer months when doors are left open and the house spills effortlessly into the garden. Tucked within the garden is a separate studio, complete with heating and power - a hugely valuable addition that opens up a range of possibilities. For some, it becomes a home office, offering complete separation from the main house. For others, it might be a creative studio, a treatment room, or simply a quiet place to escape to. Whatever your lifestyle, it's a space that adds genuine flexibility and long-term value. Despite its tucked-away feel, Smiths Cottage is remarkably well connected. Off-street parking for several vehicles sits to the front, while the location places you within easy reach of both countryside and town. This balance - privacy without isolation - is part of what makes the home so special.
