Chalet-style home makes most of tranquil setting all year round

THIS chalet-style home is set in the peaceful Grange Avenue in Rotherfield Peppard.

It has three generous double bedrooms and a garden of more than a third of an acre.

Step through the front door and the wide hallway features warm wooden flooring that running throughout much of the ground floor.

At the heart of the house lies a double-length kitchen, dining and family space — a room designed for living in rather than merely eating.

A bay window to the front of the property and wide views across the rear garden ensures it is filled with light.

The fitted kitchen includes plentiful cabinetry, integrated appliances and a peninsular bar that doubles as a breakfast perch or serving station when friends are over.

Just off the kitchen is a utility room, equipped with washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge-freezer and a back door to the garden

The separate living room features a wood-burning stove and double doors lead into a conservatory that runs across the rear of the house. This glass-walled room opens the house to the garden and catches the sunlight beautifully, making it a tranquil year-round space for reading, conversation or simply soaking in the view.

Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with built-in cupboards and two windows drawing in plenty of daylight. A bathroom with shower over bath completes the downstairs accommodation — perfect for guests or those who prefer single-level living.

Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook across the surrounding greenery. The second bedroom is another large double, again with multiple aspects and a charming low-level alcove beneath the eaves. This is ideal as a children’s hideaway or informal play area.

The family bathroom on this floor is bright, modern and spacious, fitted with bath, bidet and built-in storage.

The house sits within well-tended grounds. To the front there’s a gravelled drive with parking for several vehicles and an EV charging point, together with a large garage that includes a workbench and loft storage.

Secure gated side access leads round to the back garden. South-east facing and remarkably secluded, it opens into a series of outdoor “rooms” – a broad patio running the full width of the house, perfect for al fresco dining, bordered by a trellis draped with mature grape vines.

A pond with running water provides a focal point on one side, while beyond it stretches lawn, fruit trees and deep borders filled with established planting.

Towards the far end lies a productive vegetable garden and three powered sheds — one previously used as a craft room — together with a greenhouse, all connected with lighting and electricity for hobbyists or keen gardeners.

Rotherfield Peppard itself remains one of South Oxfordshire’s most sought-after small villages, wrapped in Chiltern countryside yet only five miles from Henley and six from Reading.

Local life is anchored by friendly pubs, golf clubs and bridle paths that wind through the surrounding woods, while everyday essentials are on hand in Sonning Common, just a mile and a half away, with its small supermarket, post office, pharmacy, library and health centre.

Peppard Primary School sits within a few minutes’ walk, with Kidmore End and Sonning Common primary’s also rated good or outstanding, while Gillotts School, Maiden Erlegh Chiltern Edge and The Henley College serve older pupils.

For those heading to London, both Henley and Reading stations offer fast links to Paddington (about
28 minutes from Reading via the Elizabeth Line).
