Parkside, Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9

Originally constructed by Berkeley Homes in 1989 and refurbished in the past 10 years to provide a fantastic family home. Montrose is one of just five homes on one of Henley-on-Thames's premier roads.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway, leading to this stunning home. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious reception hall that connects to the reception rooms, kitchen, and stairs leading to the first floor.

The reception rooms include a living room featuring an inglenook fireplace and a wood-burning stove. This room also opens into a conservatory that leads to the terrace, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Montrose benefits from a superb kitchen/dining/sitting room, which is light and airy and offers fantastic views of the rear gardens. High-end Miele integrated appliances, including a microwave, steam oven, conventional oven, coffee machine, and wine fridge, ensure that you have everything you need for dining and entertaining. The adjoining dining area, bathed in natural light, features bi-fold doors that invite you to the patio, creating an ideal setting for open-plan family living. A comfortable sitting room adjacent to this area provides the perfect vantage point to admire the garden.

The kitchen area flows into a separate family sitting room with French doors that open on to the south-facing terrace.
Towards the back of the kitchen, you will find a generous family/music room, complete with convenient cupboards that provide storage for the boiler and water softener. The ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout, and also includes a thoughtfully designed study with built-in furniture and a convenient W.C.

The first floor features a spacious galleried landing that leads to a large principal bedroom complete with an en suite bathroom and dressing area. In addition, there is a guest bedroom with wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms (one featuring an en suite and both with wardrobes), and a fantastic family bathroom with a standalone bath and a separate shower. The sixth bedroom is currently used as an office and is fitted with various office furniture.

All the bathrooms are equipped with underfloor heating and are fully tiled.

The self-contained annexe is a fantastic addition. It has its own private entrance and is also accessible from the reception hall in the main house. The internal entrance hall provides access to a spacious double garage, a utility room, and the annexe.

The annexe is accessed via a staircase that ascends to the annexe's living room/kitchen and bedroom, creating an ideal space for guests or for use as an independent living area.

The property is situated in grounds of approximately 1.2 acres. To the front, a sweeping brick-paved driveway leads to the garages and offers parking for several cars.

The south-facing gardens are exquisite and beautifully designed. They are bordered by brick walls, which provide an exceptional level of privacy. The garden is primarily laid to lawn, complemented by lovely established herbaceous borders on most sides. A raised terrace and seating area at the back of the house can be directly accessed from the outstanding kitchen, sitting room, and conservatory. In one corner of the garden, there is a charming seating area. Beyond the formal garden lies a woodland area with mature trees, as well as a functional utility space concealed behind yew hedges.

A highlight of the garden is the magnificent swimming pond, which utilises natural biological filtration instead of chemicals to maintain water clarity and cleanliness. It features a swimming area, a separate regeneration zone with plants that filter the water, and a waterfall.
