- Price: Offers Over £5,000,000
Introduction Summary:
A quintessential, period home situated on a magnificent 2.2-acre plot, adjoining the River Thames.
Accommodation Summary:
Bird Place is a landmark property uniquely situated adjoining the River Thames. Dating from the Eighteenth century, Bird Place is a two-minute walk from the centre of Henley and yet separated from the town by the River Thames.
The property requires some refurbishment but enjoys approximately 7,500 square feet of accommodation in total, over three levels.
With its mixed commercial permits, Bird Place has the potential to generate between £50,000 - £100,000 in rental income per year.
Ground Floor:
High ceilings and period features abound, with a grand gated driveway leading up steps to the main entrance through which a large hall is situated, with spectacular formal Drawing and Dining Rooms to each side.
A large family room, cloakroom and kitchen/breakfast room completes the ground floor.
Cellar:
A cellar runs across the entire footprint of the main house, with ample space for a workshop and bespoke wine cellars.
The house benefits from large working fireplaces and the space to store wood in dry conditions.
First Floor:
There are seven bedrooms on the first floor, the highlight being the principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and outstanding views over the grounds.
Second Floor:
There are three further bedrooms, serviced by three further bathrooms and all benefitting from magnificent views over the grounds.
Outside:
The gardens and grounds are a true highlight of Bird Place.
The outdoor space is not much smaller than Henley cricket pitch, with private moorings, a scenic inlet with reed beds, a private bridge and even a pitch-and-putt across water creating a unique riverside estate.
The 400 feet of moorings have occasionally been let in the past, as have the gravel driveways which extend around the side of the property.
Significant large trees of Hornbeam and Horse Chestnut, interspersed with Yew, create a 'secret garden' atmosphere and an immaculate lawn stretching from the house to the river and furthest perimeter to the sunny South aspect.
An orangery by the river is ideal for entertainment or working from home and, of course, the heated swimming pool provides relaxation in a quintessential English Country garden. Bird Place is the definition of a best-in-class home.
Location:
Bird Place occupies an enviable location within striking distance of all that Henley has to offer. Located on the riverfront, just off the Henley Bridge, a Grade 2 listed building, Bird Place offers an exceptional balance of peace and tranquillity whilst being a stone’s throw from all local amenities, train station and leisure pursuits.
The town centre benefits from two major supermarkets, a theatre, cinema, the wonderful private members Phyllis Court Club, Leander Club, The River and Rowing Museum and access to boating and rowing on the River Thames.
River pursuits are at the centre of most leisure activities in Henley and the world-famous Henley Royal Regatta takes place in July. The Henley Festival of Arts follows on from the Regatta, with artists performing on the 'floating stage', with the highly regarded Henley Literary Festival occurring in September.
Henley Golf Club and Badgemore Park Golf Club are situated just outside of the town. There is superb walking and riding in the Chiltern Hills area of outstanding natural beauty.

River frontage affords this property great potential. As a surveyor, any prospective buyer will need deep pockets just to address issues with the basic fabric of the building.
Damion - I stayed in henley in July 2022 and more recently last week! During my stay in 2022, I stayed at the Ralais Hotel, and the grounds of this property were used as a parking area for guests staying at the hotel across the bridge. I was blown away by the frontage of this property you are now selling, love the Georgian features and the back garden. As for Henley, my girls LUUUUURVVED it this year - we stayed at the Hotel Du Vin, and also visited Stonar Park,along with lunch at the Fox and Hounds at Christmas Common. A SIMPLY AMAZING LOCATION.
It’s a hidden gem I think!!! Really glad you enjoyed huge stay here
Thank you Damion, this really is probably my favourite house to date. It is unique and I absolutely love its history and character.
I agree. The potential is crazy!
Wow! love to see that finished refurbishment one day!
What an utter inviting home just needing a "little" work but that location is worth the price alone.
What a beautiful property in one of the prettiest areas. Thanks Damion.
So many possibilities here. Thanks for the tour!
What a nice house a blank canvas
Beautiful house but it looks like a real moneypit! Deep pockets needed I think!!
The grounds and the river wow
Fantastic property! ☺🌺💚...
Should be a members club. Henley House. Lets crowdfund it.
what for more posh idiots running around on daddy's money
OMG, amazing place!!❤
I can only imagine what beautiful wood lies beneath that awful white paint. Hopefully the wood has some sort of clear coat that stopped the white from getting in to the grain.
Damion, I am guessing that one of the most important appointments after purchase would be the architect/s? I love this, but my head spins at all those rooms and buildings. To sympathetically and ingeniously maximise the plot and potential whilst retaining the character and the family aspect of this home takes a lot of vision and familiarity and experience.. I’d be ok with the Georgian house and extending that, but all the other bits and pieces.. 60 years and I bet the owners still didn’t know every nook and cranny… art studio, granny annexe, guest suite, function hall, summer lounge, erm, winter lounge… atrium, tropical atrium.. my first step would be to find some help. I think I can see now how and why those guys earn their money. I know what I like, ..once I’ve seen it 😅
I’m going to buy this and spare no expense on it
This house has everything I love ,a bargain
The upward lilt of the "needs some work" tells me everything I need to know.
I would level with potential buyers instead..
Bit of rain up in Oxford and it'll look just like Atlantis.
It would be a nice b&b, but to furnish it would cost a fortune.
Your on a roll
why is it look like some serial killer or hitman home it old, simple and there no furniture.
