From the outside, this home appears to be a traditional country cottage. It’s nestled between rolling fields in the Chilterns AONB, just three minutes from Henley-on-Thames – easily reached after an amble through a sheep field. Positioned on just over an acre of private grounds, you'll be treated to stunning countryside views here. Idyllic doesn't even begin to describe it, though there are plenty of surprises inside, too. The interior is light-filled, stylish, and equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for – including underfloor heating to keep you cosy. We think it's a great option for families, as one of the bedrooms can be set up with a cot for little ones or with twin beds to accommodate guests seven and eight.

About Henley-on-Thames
Weeping willows cascade into the Thames and barges putter along the serene water – life in Henley-on-Thames is all about the river. Cruises by steamer, or a day pottering about in a row or sail boat are the best ways to experience a slice of river life, and the Henley Royal Regatta takes over in August. If staying landside is more your thing there are plenty of tea rooms serving...
