Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A former chicken house reimagined as a countryside retreat – this is the kind of place that makes a weekend feel restorative. Set in the Chiltern Hills village of Stoke Row within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house opens straight onto the garden, and the outdoor bathtub is the standout touch – whether you're soaking under the stars or taking an icy plunge at dawn. Walks and cycling trails begin right outside, and Henley-on-Thames is a short drive away for riverside dining and boutique shops.
