Summary - 51 NEW STREET HENLEY-ON-THAMES RG9 2BP
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Grade II listed 3–4 bed character cottage in central Henley with landscaped courtyard garden..
Grade II listed timber-framed cottage with many original features
A rare Grade II listed timber-framed cottage in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, this characterful home blends historic charm with carefully updated interiors. Exposed beams, original features and generous reception rooms create a warm, authentic atmosphere, while a well-fitted eat-in kitchen with an electric AGA and a landscaped walled courtyard extend the living space for relaxed entertaining.
Layouts are arranged across several half levels, offering four bedrooms (3/4 flexible) and two bathrooms, plus a study and formal dining room with bespoke wine storage. At approximately 1,982 sq ft the house feels surprisingly spacious for a period property in the town centre, with polished oak and herringbone floors adding a contemporary finish to period details.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or permissions. The plot is small and the courtyard style garden suits low-maintenance outdoor living rather than extensive planting. There is a medium flooding risk for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive. Crime in the locality is reported as high, so prospective buyers should investigate local security measures and insurance implications.
This cottage will suit buyers looking for historic character and a central Henley location — professionals, downsizers or families who prioritise town-centre convenience, strong schools nearby and lifestyle amenities over a large garden or unrestricted renovation potential. Its combination of provenance, high-spec finishes and proximity to the Thames and Henley’s cultural calendar make it a distinctive town-centre home with genuine period appeal.
