Occupying a truly special position at the foot of the Hambleden Valley, this unique single-storey home enjoys a spectacular semi-rural setting with far-reaching views across open countryside and outstanding country and riverside walks directly from the doorstep. The property represents a rare and beautifully judged blend of character and contemporary design, offering light-filled accommodation in stunning surroundings.
At the heart of the house is an impressive kitchen/dining/family room, designed as a generous everyday living space and perfectly suited to both entertaining and relaxed family life. Glazed doors span the rear elevation, drawing in natural light and opening directly onto the terrace and garden, where views extend across the neighbouring fields and valley beyond. The kitchen itself is well appointed, with ample workspace, storage, and room for a large dining table, while a skylight above enhances the sense of space and light.
A separate sitting room provides a more intimate space, ideal for quieter evenings in front of the woodburner, while still enjoying a pleasant outlook. The overall layout works exceptionally well for modern living, with a natural flow between reception spaces and the outdoors.
The principal bedroom is a standout feature of the house; a striking vaulted octagonal room - the former dairy - that blends architectural drama with a calm, restful atmosphere. Exposed timber detailing, generous proportions and views over the garden and country beyond create a genuinely special space, complemented by an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests or home working, along with a study and additional bath and shower rooms arranged to serve the accommodation efficiently.
Outside, the property sits comfortably within its plot, with a terrace immediately adjoining the main living space - an ideal spot to enjoy the outlook, entertain, or simply take in the tranquillity of the setting. The garden blends into the wider landscape, reinforcing the sense of privacy and connection with the countryside. Practical features include a utility room, useful storage, a carport and log store.
Despite its rural feel, the house is well positioned for access to nearby villages and the amenities of Henley-on-Thames, while the Hambleden Valley itself offers some of the most beautiful scenery and walking routes in the area.
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in an exceptional setting, combining architectural interest, flexible living and one of the area's most desirable valley locations.
