Wolsey's Cottage, 66, New Street, Henley-On-Thames, RG9 2BT

Hidden away in one of Henley's most enchanting and historic settings, Wolsey's Cottage is a delightful 1-bedroom 16th-century mid-terrace home.

Tucked-away discreetly within the heart of the town centre, yet just moments from the riverside, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. No onward chain.

Accommodation Believed to date back to the 1500s, the cottage is rich in character, with exposed timber beams, leaded light windows, bespoke joinery, latch doors and a wealth of period detail throughout.

Despite its modest footprint of approximately 316 sq ft (30 sq m), every inch has been thoughtfully refurbished and utilised to create a warm and inviting home full of personality.

Designed by the current owner, a custom-built timber front door is intricately decorated with a stained-glass window, and opens to the open-plan living space and kitchen.

Fitted oak bench seating provides useful storage, with additional storage incorporated under the staircase.

There is a bespoke handcrafted kitchen which has fitted cupboards, a sink unit and a black Everhot 60 range cooker, plumbing for a washing machine, space for an under-counter fridge-freezer and electric underfloor heating.

First floor This versatile room is currently used as the double bedroom benefitting from a bespoke cantilever bed, which can be stowed away into the wall to create a secondary open living space, if required.

There is a front aspect window, a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, exposed timber flooring and some high-level storage.

An oak latch door opens into the shower room which has a white suite comprising a shower cubicle, wash-hand basin, a w.c. And a wall mounted heated towel rail.

Outside The cottage enjoys a garden to the front, a wonderfully peaceful setting filled with colourful planting that feels a world away from the bustling town centre - despite being only a short stroll from Market Place and the River Thames.

Whether as a charming permanent home, an idyllic weekend retreat or an exceptional investment in one of Oxfordshire's most sought-after market towns, Wolsey's Cottage represents a rare chance to acquire a truly distinctive period property in an unrivalled central location.
