Birch House, The Green, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 5AX

An extended South facing detached family home, tucked away in the heart of Nettlebed, with country walks on your doorstep.

Description A covered porch opens into a generous and welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms flow seamlessly.

At the heart of the home is a thoughtfully designed kitchen/dining room measuring an impressive 24 ft 7 in, perfectly suited to modern family living.

Featuring a sociable central island and four sets of French doors opening opening out to the rear patio and south facing garden, this space is ideal for both everyday life and entertaining.

Leading off the kitchen is a practical boot room with external access and a dog shower, perfect for family living and countryside lifestyles.

To the front of the property, the sitting room enjoys excellent proportions and features a fireplace, creating an elegant yet relaxed setting for entertaining or quiet evenings.

There is also a separate family room, ideal for more informal use as a playroom or home office. The former garage has been converted into a superb home gym with its own independent entrance.

This versatile space could equally serve as a larger home office, studio, ancillary accommodation, or converted back into a garage if required.

Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom accessed from the entrance hall. The first floor is equally well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged.

The principal bedroom suite benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a well-appointed en suite shower room.

There are four further bedrooms, including a particularly generous second bedroom with its own en suite bathroom.

A family bathroom with a separate shower serves the remaining bedrooms, along with a practical utility cupboard providing space for a washing machine and dryer.

Outside, the property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens, providing a private and tranquil setting.

The rear of the house is south facing and enjoys a generous patio spanning the width of the property, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Beyond, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees, established borders, and thoughtfully planned planting, offering colour and visual interest throughout the year.

Location The pretty village of Nettlebed is situated on the Henley–Oxford Road (A4130), approximately five miles north west of Henley and boasts a particularly vibrant and well supported local community.

Village amenities include Nettlebed Primary School, a doctor’s surgery, petrol station with Budgens (open 24/7), the highly regarded McQueen’s Bakery and Deli, and the popular White Hart Hotel and restaurant.

The village hall hosts regular folk nights, activities and classes, while the local church is also active and central to village life.

Equally important is the excellent transport provision, with bus routes to many of the surrounding schools stopping at the village Green, along with regular public bus services to Henley, Reading and Oxford.

There are schools in the area of excellent repute, as well as a broad range of sporting and leisure facilities including rowing on the River Thames and a number of highly regarded local golf courses.
