Market Place, Henley-on-Thames, RG9

A Georgian beauty in the heart of Henley. There are homes you admire and homes you feel. This exquisite Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse on Market Place is firmly both. Rising gracefully from Henley’s historic cobbles, it blends period poise with a design-led sensibility that feels both curated and completely effortless. EPC Exempt.


LOCAL INFORMATION
Set in the very centre of Henley-on-Thames, Market Place is one of the town’s most storied addresses. A cobbled square steeped in history and charm. Henley itself is synonymous with riverside elegance, boutique shopping, independent cafés and an enviable culinary scene.

Each summer, the town comes alive for the world-famous Henley Royal Regatta, followed by the vibrant Henley Festival. Beyond the festivities, the River Thames remains a constant, a silver ribbon weaving through daily life.

For commuters, Henley station links to Reading and Twyford, with fast services to London Paddington (around 28 minutes). The Elizabeth Line opens direct routes to the City, West End and Heathrow, while the M4 and M40 are within easy reach.

Excellent state and independent schools are nearby, including Rupert House, St Mary’s Prep, Gillotts Secondary School and Henley College, with transport links to leading schools across Oxfordshire and Berkshire.


ACCOMMODATION
Step inside and you’re greeted by light dancing through tall sash windows and across stripped wooden floorboards. The sitting room has an elegant wrought iron surround fireplace and dual aspect views, timeless Georgian symmetry. Beyond it lies the open-plan kitchen and dining room. A space that has been designed with curated features that feel straight from an interiors journal. Chequerboard marble floors set a bold foundation, while brass fittings, marble countertops and a ceramic butler sink add a confident layer of craftsmanship. The six-burner range oven and French-style fridge freezer make entertaining feel inevitable rather than aspirational. In the dining area, a fireplace nook framed with decorative Delft tiles and a glazed door to the courtyard create an intimate sociable flow. This is where candlelight dinners stretch into late evenings. A discreet guest cloakroom and a generous basement utility space complete the ground floor. Practical luxury, beautifully concealed.

The principal bedroom occupies the first floor with quiet authority. Two windows flood the space with natural light, while a wall of built-in wardrobes keeps the aesthetic calm and tailored. The family bathroom is elegantly composed. Panelled walls, tiled floor, a deep bath for long soaks and a walk-in shower that feels decidedly boutique-hotel.

Ascend again and Henley unfolds before you. The second bedroom’s double-aspect windows frame a cinematic view straight down the high street towards the Thames, with the bridge and rolling countryside beyond. It’s a perspective few homes can claim and a daily reminder of your place at the centre of something special. A third bedroom and loft storage complete the upper level.


OUTSIDE SPACE
Behind tall brick walls lies a west-facing courtyard garden. It is paved for ease and positioned for golden-hour light. It’s wonderfully private and perfectly scaled for al fresco dining, summer gatherings, or simply a quiet coffee before the town stirs. A side gate provides convenient access, while the cobbled square to the front delivers undeniable character.

Parking is available on nearby local streets.
