Countess Gardens is an impressive Grade II* Georgian townhouse dating from 1742, offering generous family accommodation across three main floors plus a cellar. High ceilings, original panelling, sash windows and working fireplaces give the house strong period character and an immediate sense of place. The layout includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms, four reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room extended into a conservatory.
The rear garden is private, well fenced and generous in size, with a stone terrace, lawn, mature planting and a recessed trampoline. Off-street parking for four to six cars is privately owned and accessed discreetly via an arch, a rare convenience for a central town property. Practical spaces include a basement utility, wine room and garden storage.
This house sits in central Henley-on-Thames close to shops, restaurants, a supermarket and highly regarded schools; Reading, Oxford and Maidenhead are readily accessible and Henley station provides fast links to the mainline. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II* listed status will restrict alterations and can increase the cost and timescale for works and maintenance; buyers should budget for heritage-sensitive repairs. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are material factors for owners to weigh alongside the property’s scale and location.
