| Description of the cottage
|
Reddish Manor is nestled in a valley in the Chiltern Hills at the edge of the village of Sonning Common. Timber framed and oak panelled, it has four reception rooms, nine bedrooms and sleeps eighteen in comfort. It is the most beautiful quirky old English home full of wonderful antiques and collectibles. The owner is an interior designer. There is a heated outdoor swimming pool, large gardens of four acres and seating areas for relaxing: plenty of space for entertaining both indoors and out by the pool. Reddish Manor is conveniently located near both the M4 and M40. Only twelve minutes from Henley-On-Thames and Reading with its frequent rail connections to London (30 mins). Ideal for the Henley Royal Regatta, Henley Festival, Royal Ascot and Windsor Races. Pets are extremely welcome and can sleep inside. There are fine eateries on the door step and some wonderful walks in this part of the Chilterns, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty enveloped by the River Thames.
This property is not really suitable for wheelchair users as the house was built in the 16th century. There are many stairs and the doors are not wide in some parts.
At the head of the driveway is a large parking area and a brick terrace leads around the front of the main house up to the front door. The main lawn lies immediately adjacent to the drawing room and is a rectangular croquet lawn with a low brick wall surrounding.
On the next level down is a rose garden with a central pond and circular pathway surrounding. To the rear of the house is a further gravelled terrace which gives way to a beautifully laid out kitchen garden. There are apple trees and a mass of mature tree specimens.
A gravelled pathway leads down to the swimming pool area which is also enclosed and totally private. The swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace and there is a changing area, a lean-to store as well as a large entertainment barn beside the pool. The entire pool area is ideally suited for outdoor entertaining on a large scale.
Percy Cane, a contemporary of Gertrude Jekyll, was responsible for the design of the gardens in the 1920's.
Proximity to several fine golf courses including Henley, Badgemore, Caversham Heath, Mapledurham and Huntercombe.
