Perched in a serene setting, this gorgeous house in Henley-on-Thames provides an idyllic suburban escape amidst nature without being too far away from the hustle of central London (a forty-minute drive away). Set in Oxfordshire, the location is as blissful as they come and the perfect location for country walks and a quintessentially English experience. Step outside into the home's stunning backyard where you'll find a weeping willow romanticising the garden scene. With plenty of seating areas to choose from – enjoy sunny afternoons out on the patio by the fire pit, at the alfresco dining table or even swaying on the rope-tire swing on the lawn. Since the inside is just as lush as the outside, you'll be spoilt for choice when hanging out at home here. From the light and airy kitchen-diner with panoramic views of the garden through the French windows to the cosy living room with snuggly interiors centred around the wood log burner. We particularly love the cute little desk nook found under the stairs – it offers an extra little secluded spot to get down to some work when needed. And when you're all worked out – The Greyhound Pub (run by Anthony Warrell Thompson) is conveniently situated just a two-minute drive or a short walk away from your front door. The quaint cobble-stoned town of Henley-on-Thames also makes its mark on the sporting scene by hosting The Henley Royal Regatta – a world-famous rowing competition that sees thousands of visitors arrive to spectate more than 200 races (including Olympians among the participants). Frankly, we couldn't think of a more perfect base from which to enjoy the five-day sporting extravaganza. As from here, you'll lap up both a relaxing holiday and the buzz of the iconic event in full swing.

About Henley-on-Thames
Weeping willows cascade into the Thames and barges putter along the serene water – life in Henley-on-Thames is all about the river. Cruises by steamer, or a day pottering about in a row or sail boat are the best ways to experience a slice of river life, and the Henley Royal Regatta takes over in August. If staying landside is more your thing there are plenty of tea rooms serving...
