Summary - BAY TREE COTTAGE NORTHFIELD AVENUE LOWER SHIPLAKE HENLEY-ON-THAMES RG9 3PE
4 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-level living near station, village shops and good schools.
4 bedroom single-storey layout with flexible rooms
Bay Tree Cottage is a spacious 4-bedroom detached bungalow set on a large, private plot in Lower Shiplake, a short walk from the village shop and railway station. The house has been extended and newly renovated in recent years, with updated kitchen and bathrooms, oak internal doors and double-glazed windows. A generous family room and elegant sitting room open to secluded, south-side gardens, while a detached timber garden room provides a useful home-office or studio.
The accommodation suits families or those seeking single-level living with flexible space: principal bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, two further double bedrooms, plus a fourth bedroom or study off the family room. Practical features include a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a utility room, garage with rear access, ample driveway parking behind five-bar gates, and 4kW photovoltaic panels to reduce electricity costs.
Location is a major draw: a peaceful private road a stone’s throw from Shiplake station, village amenities, good local schools and riverside leisure. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add everyday convenience. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, and comes with a modest annual private-road charge of £60.
Negatives to note: the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and, while recently refurbished, the cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed) — further insulation work could improve energy efficiency. Council tax is in the higher band (G). Buyers seeking a fully modern eco-upgrade should budget accordingly, although the PV panels and recent updates reduce immediate outlay.
