AreaBearwood House sits in a wonderful private position at the end of a long drive on the edge of the Hamlet. The hamlet itself is surrounded by open farmland interspersed with pockets of woodland in an area renowned for its natural beauty. Within walking distance is a pub.

The adjacent villages of Stoke Row and Rotherfield Peppard both within a couple of miles, have a primary school, village stores and two excellent pubs, The Crooked Billet and The Cherry Tree Inn, along with cricket and tennis clubs.

The neighbouring towns of Henley on Thames, about 5 miles and Marlow, about 7 miles offer a broad selection of amenities and day to day shopping along with a selection of specialist retailers, boutiques and an inviting array of cafés and restaurants. The larger centres of Reading, High Wycombe and Oxford are also close at hand offering a wider selection of shops and amenities.

Communications from the Hamlet are excellent with Heathrow airport only 28 miles : Railway stations at Henley (London Paddington 45 mins) and Reading (London Paddington 30 mins): By road M40 (J5) 5 miles or M4 (J8/9) 13 miles.

The area ideally located for numerous leisure and sporting facilities including the world famous Henley Regatta, boating and marina facilities along the River Thames, Racing at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury, Polo at Smiths Lawn and The Royal County of Berkshire Polo club, Golf at Henley, Badgemore Park and Huntercombe Golf Club, along with numerous footpaths and bridleways across the surrounding countryside.

The HouseThe property was constructed about four years ago to exacting standards by the award winning architect Stephen Mattick. It has been designed and built with great imagination and flair, creating a modern Country House in a traditional style whilst incorporating additional modernist design to allow the accommodation to make the very best of the views and its setting. It is a truly wonderful and rare home to find, this close to London and in this part of England.It has been constructed using the very best materials and methods such as handmade clay, HG Mathews bricks, local flint, traditional weight and cord sash windows, traditional flush casements with Samuel Heath fittings, oak weather boarding and bespoke water and rain goods.

The InteriorThe excellent standard of finish and attention to detail is apparent throughout the property and shows the care that has been taken in creating this home. On arrival the reception hall creates a wonderful atmosphere with polished timber flooring and an ornate oak staircase. A particular feature is the Kitchen/breakfast room which enjoys some of the best views from the house and with floor to ceiling folding glass doors provide the perfect place for entertaining both in the house and the garden with a seemless sense of in and outside space. There is a full complement of top of the range appliances, including a Barazza gas hob, pro solo extractor and a Quooker boiling water tap along with ideal storage and Silestone worktops.The remaining reception rooms include oak floors and doors and the spacious drawing room features a unique polished concrete fireplace with inset Rias wood burning stove.

Additional specifications include an intergral sound system with three independent zones, underfloor heating throughout the three floors, an intruder alarm system and even a laundry chute from the first floor to the utility room. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive with a decadent master bedroom suite with hand built oak wardrobes and a superb ensuite bathroom with Italian stone basin furniture, Hansgrohe fittings and Villeroy and Bosh porcelain wall and floor tiles. There are two further bedroom suites and a further five bedrooms and 2 further bathrooms. Beyond the house is the Coach House which has a first floor apartment that is currently set up as a bedroom and adjoining bathroom, but has the potential to have a kitchen area as all the plumbing is in place should it be needed.

The Gardens and GroundsApproached from a quiet country lane on the edge of the hamlet, through mature woodland, the drive opens into the grounds and the private setting of Bearwood House. To the front of the house is a large gravel turning and parking area, leading to the Coach House with garaging and the guest/staff annexe.The gardens have been designed by award winner, Duncan Heather, to make the very most of the setting and views. Large sweeping lawns are intersperced with flower borders and expansive stone terraces provide different places to enjoy the views and outside entertaining spaces.
