Sophisticated, stylish, and surprisingly spacious, this Victorian townhouse set in a well-heeled and central district of Henley-on-Thames has got large family getaway written all over it. The clincher here must be that made-for-action, sociable kitchen and living area. It's a space best served with those patio doors open to let the sunshine in as you come together for long, lazy breakfasts. Then pad out onto the suntrap terrace with your second coffee while kids and furry friends alike can burn off some energy on the lawns. If the weather doesn't buck up, you can always sneak away for a quiet read of the papers in the oh-so-contemporary sunroom and get first dibs on that Oriel box window seat. And the dedicated office area, tucked away in a quiet nook, will be handy for anyone planning to work or study during their stay. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms as elegant as the next and spaced out across two floors. Plantation shutters, ceiling roses, and cornicing nod to the home's Victorian heritage, while pops of contemporary artwork add a flourish of modernity. Should you ever be persuaded to leave this chic retreat, you're just a short walk from the waterfront here. Enjoy leisurely strolls along the... river, then dive into the many traditional pubs nearby for a swift pint and posh nosh – you'll be in good company.

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...
