Description
This three-bedroom Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage is set in central Henley-on-Thames, behind a small green and beside an original York stone and cobbled pavement. Dating from the 15th and 17th centuries, it has period features and is offered with no onward chain. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen-breakfast room, utility room, guest WC, two upstairs bathrooms and a basement storage room. The living room opens to a garden room, while the kitchen has space for a breakfast table. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, with built-in storage in two rooms. The property is described as needing modernisation, and the large loft space may offer scope for conversion, subject to planning and other relevant consents. Outside, a private paved courtyard has raised planted beds and an ornamental pond. The listing states that two parking permits are available for use in Henley. The town centre, shops, restaurants and station are nearby, with rail connections via Reading and Twyford. EPC rating D.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a strong-value project in the heart of Henley: the £700,000 asking price works out at £442/sq ft, around 26% below the local average, making the acquisition price a clear opportunity. The Grade II listed 15th- and 17th-century cottage has generous reception space, period beams and fireplaces, plus an established courtyard garden; its dated interiors offer scope to refresh the kitchen, finishes and flooring while retaining its character. The renovation range is £35,000–£60,000, with listed-building constraints and any loft-conversion potential needing to be checked before planning a wider scheme.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a notably below-local-average £/sq ft and refresh the dated interiors while preserving the historic character.
- Make the most of the multiple reception spaces, exposed beams, fireplaces and garden room.
- Improve the enclosed courtyard, which already has established planting, raised beds and an ornamental pond.
Key risks
- Some wall surfaces appear marked or uneven and should be investigated to establish the cause and scope of repair.
- Grade II listed status may constrain alterations; confirm requirements and feasibility before relying on the stated loft-conversion potential.
