5 bed detached house for sale

Lambridge Wood Road, Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9

An exceptional five bedroom contemporary home on one of Henley-on-Thames most prestigious roads

Description
Thornbury is a recently completed (2023) detached family home, superbly positioned on one of Henley-on-Thames’ most prestigious roads. Designed to combine practical living with innovative architecture and a refined aesthetic, the property was constructed by well-established local builders and craftsmen. The result is a fine example of traditional design enhanced by exemplary workmanship and meticulous attention to detail throughout.

Since purchasing the property, the current owners have elevated Thornbury to an even higher echelon. A programme of improvements includes upgraded bathrooms, the creation of an additional en suite and dressing room to the principal suite, and beautifully landscaped gardens. These enhancements now present a truly turnkey family home, finished to an exceptional specification. The décor draws inspiration from the Pop Art movement, introducing characterful yet contemporary living spaces that feel both stylish and inviting.

The accommodation is arranged around a generous reception hall, from which the ground floor flows seamlessly. A combination of open-plan areas and separate reception rooms provides excellent flexibility for family life and entertaining. The reception hall forms part of a striking galleried landing above, allowing natural light to flood through the house and highlight the elegant wooden-framed staircase. A floating wine store has been cleverly incorporated, making effective use of wall space. The sitting room is double aspect and features bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden terrace. This well-proportioned room is finished with wooden flooring and bespoke fitted cabinetry by Schmidt, creating a refined yet comfortable space for relaxation.

The kitchen/dining room is very much the heart of the home, designed to bring family and friends together in an open and welcoming environment. Finished in a harmonious palette of neutral and wood tones, the kitchen is superbly appointed with Hacker Classic handless units, a central island and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. These include an iQ700 multifunction oven, Pure induction hob, Studioline warming drawer, integral fridge/freezer and a Quooker Flex boiling and cold water tap.

The adjoining utility room mirrors the kitchen in design and is fitted with Hacker Classic units, together with a washing machine and condensing tumble dryer. Also located off the kitchen is one of two ground-floor study areas. The second study is currently arranged as a versatile family room with a divider, which can easily be removed to create a formal dining room if desired. The staircase rises to a light-filled galleried landing, enhanced by suspended ceiling lighting and a relaxed seating area. The upper floors provide five bedrooms and four bathrooms arranged over two levels. The first floor is home to the impressive principal suite.

The principal bedroom has been significantly enlarged, with the addition of a newly built en suite, transforming the layout to include his and hers bathrooms and dressing areas. The main en suite is finished to an impeccable standard, with 1000mm porcelain floor and wall tiles, a matt stone freestanding bath, large vanity unit and a Japanese toilet. The second en suite adopts a more masculine aesthetic, featuring Piazza Nero matt black floor and wall tiles and a generous walk-in shower with a wall-mounted overhead shower in a gunmetal finish.

The dressing rooms are equally impressive. The larger dressing room, converted from a former bedroom, sits just off the principal suite and has been designed by Schmidt. It features two-tone integral wardrobes, mood lighting, a central island with soft-close drawers and banquette seating. A second, smaller dressing room within the suite provides further fitted wardrobes and open shelving. The first floor also offers two additional bedrooms, including a generous guest bedroom with its own en suite, beautifully finished with porcelain tiling.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms, ideal for a growing family or visiting guests. The larger double bedroom benefits from a dressing area, an oak acoustic feature wall for shoe storage and an en suite bathroom finished with Sculpture Grande 1000mm porcelain floor and wall tiles. The en suite includes a walk-in shower and a Dansani round illuminated mirror. A stylish walkway leads to the additional bedroom, positioned adjacent to the store room and plant room.
