A superbly presented family home situated close to the centre of the village.
Built in c. 1908, Clement House is a handsome Edwardian property that the current owners have beautifully extended and modernised to create a stylish family home in the heart of Shiplake.The house is entered via a large central hallway. To the right of the hall is the living room, with an attractive bay window, high ceilings, and an original fireplace. This room is positioned at the front of the house and enjoys pleasant views over the landscaped front garden. On the opposite side of the hall is the study, a bright double-aspect room with views over the front garden. From here, the hallway leads to the kitchen at the back of the house. This room has been completely remodelled to create a fantastic entertaining space spanning the property's full width. The kitchen has underfloor heating throughout. Crittall style French windows open on to the patio and beautiful garden beyond. The glass extension floods the room with natural light and provides a striking, modern twist to this stunning period home. The utility room with a separate sink and storage is adjacent to the kitchen, and double doors open into the music/family room. A downstairs WC completes the accommodation on the ground floor.Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms. The principal suite has a beautifully fitted ensuite shower room with underfloor heating and extensive, built-in wardrobes. The guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and there are three further bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes), all of which are served by the family bathroom with a separate shower.To the front of the house, there is off street parking for several cars. The front and rear gardens have been beautifully landscaped to provide structure and interest whilst providing an easily maintained space for these outdoor areas.The back garden has been cleverly designed to provide privacy and different seating areas and has attractive lighting installed throughout.
Clement House is located in the centre of the charming village of Shiplake, which features a branch line station, village shop and post office, a butcher shop and a well-regarded public house. Shiplake station links to Henley-on-Thames in one direction and Twyford Station in another. Twyford has fast trains to London Paddington. Nearby, Reading also has an excellent commuter rail service to London Paddington, with Crossrail providing access to the City.The property is about 2 miles south of the market town of Henley-on-Thames, which provides an excellent selection of amenities, day-to-day shopping, and supermarkets, along with a selection of specialist retailers, boutiques and an inviting choice of cafes, bars and restaurants. In Henley, there is also a 3-screen cinema and a theatre. The larger centres of Reading and Oxford are also close at hand, offering a wide selection of shops and amenities. South Oxfordshire is renowned for its wide variety of schools, which provide an excellent choice for children of all ages in both the state and independent sectors. Shiplake has a CE primary school and Shiplake College (an independent day and boarding school).The surrounding countryside is ideal for country pursuits and is well served with bridleways and footpaths for horse riding, cyclists and walkers and, of course, the nearby River Thames offers boat hire, rowing, sailing and canoe clubs.
