Both Henley on Thames and Wallingford offer a range of shops and recreational facilities. The larger centres of Reading and Oxford are also close at hand for a more comprehensive range of amenities. Surrounding the property there are large expanses of open countryside with pretty beech and oak woods ideal for leisurely country walks. Schools in the area include Nettlebed Primary School, Rupert House Preparatory in Henley, Queen Anne’s in Caversham, as well as the Oxford schools which include St Edwards School, The Dragon, Headington School for girls and the Abington schools. Description Part of the former stables and barns to the Nuffield Estate, The Old Stables provides flexible living accommodation arranged over two floors. The barn dates back to the 18th century and was converted into living accommodation during the 1970s originally as two separate cottages which were subsequently joined to make one larger house. Throughout the property there are many period features which add to the character of The Old Stables. These include exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, solid wood latch doors and a large inglenook fireplace which forms the focal point for the spacious double aspect drawing room. From the drawing room an attractive spiral staircase rises to a suite of rooms comprising sitting/dressing room and bedroom with en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining ground floor accommodation is spacious and flexible and offers a dining room, study, shower room and bedroom with en suite bathroom. The lovely kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home with a wonderful range of Mark Wilkinson painted units and is well equipped with a 4 oven Aga, built-in dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is a walk in pantry and door to the rear garden. Off the kitchen is a large family room with doors to the front and rear gardens. To the first floor there are four more bedrooms and an en suite bathroom. The master is a lovely room with built-in wardrobes and vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. Gardens and grounds The house is approached via a five bar gate onto a gravel drive way which passes the garage and workshop and leads to a parking area to the front of the property. The majority of the front garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubberies, topiary and flower borders. A pretty brick and flint wall encloses the garden on three sides with a holly hedge to the remaining boundary giving privacy. To the rear of the house the garden provides a tranquil place to relax. A flagstone terrace runs the length of the property and leads to the well kept lawn which is interspersed with specimen red cherry trees and bordered by a mixture of low level box hedges, evergreens and mature shrubs. To the far corner of the garden sits a pretty pergola sheltering a seating area from which to enjoy the views over the house and garden.
