Description
Lavender Cottage is an attractive, detached family home, built in 2001 with red brick elevations under a clay tile roof. The generous, well-proportioned accommodation, approaching 5,072 sq ft, is arranged over three floors and beautifully presented throughout.
The drawing room is a delightful double aspect room and has an open fireplace with stone surround and square bay window with doors opening to the garden terrace. The kitchen is very well appointed with a range shaker wall and floor units arranged around a central island/breakfast bar, finished in Farrow & Ball colours. Integrated appliances include a range cooker with extractor above, 2 dishwashers and microwave. This fabulous space is open plan to a sitting room/dining area which takes full advantage of the view overlooking the garden and pool. The flexible ground floor accommodation is completed by a family room and study, both with square bay windows overlooking the front garden and extensive views.
To the first floor the principal bedroom has a large en suite bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate dressing room. There is a guest bedroom with en suite shower and walk-in wardrobe, two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom. To the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes.
Outside
The property is accessed from the lane via electric gates with security entry system. The gates open to a large paviour drive to the front of the house and around to a parking area for several cars and a detached garage. The double garage has ancillary accommodation comprising a ground floor kitchen/utility with stairs leading to a sitting area, bedroom and en suite shower room. The front garden is private with shrubs and hedging along the boundaries and a slate path with beautifully planted borders to either side leads to the front door. To the rear of the house is a sunny terrace with under cover seating area, accessed from the sitting room and kitchen, providing the perfect place for al fresco dining surrounded by raised beds planted with perennial plants and shrubs.
There is an outdoor heated swimming pool and the remaining garden is laid mainly to lawn with trees and mature high hedging to the boundaries providing privacy and seclusion. There is a quaint detached brickbuilt outbuilding to the rear of the garden which is currently used as a summer house/gym.
Location
Lavender Cottage is superbly located at the end of a private road in the sought after village of Shiplake in South Oxfordshire. It has views over adjacent fields and yet is only 0.3 mile from Shiplake Station, very much in the heart of the village which benefits from a thriving community, local bus stop, shop and post office, butcher and popular pub/restaurant, The Baskerville Arms. More extensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Henley-on-Thames and Reading.
The area is well served for schools, including Rupert House, The Oratory, Bluecoat, Shiplake College and Queen Anne’s for girls in Caversham. Shiplake Station is on the Henley Branch Line and there is a mainline rail service to London, Paddington via Reading from 27 minutes and the City via the Elizabeth Line. The M4 J8/9 is within easy striking distance providing access to the M25, London, Heathrow Airport and the West Country. There are a number of fine golf courses in the area including Badgemore Park, Huntercombe and Henley. The nearby countryside offers miles of extensive walking and riding and there are boating facilities available on the River Thames.
Square Footage: 5,072 sq ft
Acreage:
0.58 Acres
Directions
Proceed out of Henley on the A4155 towards Shiplake and Reading. After approximately 2 miles turn left at the Shiplake War Memorial into Station Road. Continue for half a mile and turn left into Northfield Avenue. Continue to the end of Northfield Avenue and the gated entrance to Lavender Cottage will be found on the left at the end of the road.
