Harcourt Close, Henley-On-Thames
£925,000 (Tenant Fees)

ACCOMMODATION

Situated at the end of Harcourt Place in Henley-on-Thames, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers approximately 1,997 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, with a private garden, balcony and covered driveway parking for several cars. The layout offers considerable flexibility, including the potential to create a self-contained annexe on the ground floor, subject to any necessary consents.

The property has been a much-loved family home for many years and, whilst perfectly liveable, would now benefit from some updating and modernisation, presenting an opportunity for buyers to put their own stamp on a generously proportioned house.

The ground floor offers a particularly flexible arrangement, centred around a spacious family room measuring approximately 18'2 x 16'5. This room has wood-effect flooring, French doors providing access to the outside and windows allowing plenty of natural light.

An adjoining office measures approximately 14'8 x 8'6 and provides useful space for those working from home. There is also a kitchenette, separate WC and storage cupboards.

With its own external access and a combination of living space, kitchenette and WC, this floor offers the potential to be adapted into an annexe for a family member or guest accommodation, subject to any necessary consents and alterations.


The first floor provides the principal living accommodation, with a spacious sitting room measuring approximately 18'11 x 11'7. Large windows and French doors opening onto the balcony provide excellent natural light and an attractive outlook across the surrounding area towards the wooded hillsides beyond. There is ample space for both comfortable seating and dining furniture.

The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary-style white units, dark worktops and integrated appliances, with a window to the side. An adjoining dining room provides further space for family meals and entertaining.

A separate WC completes the accommodation on this floor.

Second Floor

The second floor comprises four bedrooms, all accessed from the central landing.

The principal bedroom measures approximately 12'10 x 11'7 and benefits from windows overlooking the surrounding area. The remaining three bedrooms offer flexibility for family accommodation, guest rooms or additional home-working space.

There are two bathrooms on this floor, one fitted with a bath and separate shower enclosure, and the other with a shower, WC and washbasin.

Outside

The property occupies a position at the end of Harcourt Place, with a substantial paved driveway providing covered parking for several cars.

To the side is a garden with a lawn, established trees and shrubs, and a raised boundary providing a degree of privacy. There is also a paved terrace immediately outside the ground-floor family room.

The first-floor balcony is a particularly appealing feature, providing an elevated seating area with views across the surrounding neighbourhood and towards the wooded hillsides.

PLANNING PERMISSION

The planning permission and right of way are material information and should be prominent in the listing rather than buried in the description.

I would recommend confirming whether the proposed right of way will be legally granted on completion or is already established, and whether the approved development will affect the existing covered parking arrangements. These details could materially influence a buyer's decision.

The description above deliberately avoids suggesting that the annexe already exists or that the proposed development is separate from the sale.
