Summary - Halfridge, Catslip, Nettlebed RG9 5BN
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Build a vast family retreat with pool, tennis court and 68 acres of land.
Planning permission granted for a 21,000 sq ft Arts & Crafts house
Halfridge is a rare country estate offering planning permission for a 21,000 sq ft Arts & Crafts house set in about 68 acres of formal gardens and woodland. The approved scheme includes extensive leisure provision — a basement with indoor pool, spa, gym, cinema and wine store — plus standalone outbuildings, tennis court and garage. The design is positioned to capture valley views and has been prepared to respect the site’s character.
This opportunity suits a buyer looking to build a substantial family home or to create a high-value rural retreat close to Henley-on-Thames. The local village provides essential amenities and primary schools, while Henley and Reading offer wider shopping, rail links and private schooling. The estate’s scale and layout offer clear potential for bespoke interiors and extensive landscaping.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the existing EPC is E and the current heating is oil, though the proposals allow for heat pumps, biomass and photovoltaics. Broadband speeds are very slow in the immediate area and council tax will be very expensive once occupied. A public footpath and bridleway skirt the front boundary and the approved plans involve replacing and rotating the existing house on the site.
