Country House, plus detached 700sq ft annex , set in an acre of formal gardens and a further 5 acres of paddock and woodland. Built in 1756 (but not listed), Collegewood Farmhouse is a charming property which has been sympathetically renovated and extended to provide a stunning 5 bedroom family home. The renovation of this property has revealed many original period features such as oak beams and period brickwork, which are showcased and complimented by the exceptionally high quality materials used throughout the property. Planning permission has been granted for a full size tennis court, swimming pool and stable block. Located in the hamlet of Cane End, the Farmhouse is a short drive from both Henley on Thames and Reading town centres.
This property has 2 separate drive approaches and would be perfect for those wishing to keep horses, as there is direct access from the paddock land onto the Chiltern bridle paths.
PLANNING PERMISSIONS GRANTED
Planning permission has been granted for a full size tennis court, a swimming pool and an annex which could be used as Au-pairs' accommodation or a Games room. An additional approval was granted for a stable block and tack room in the paddock.
ACCOMMODATION
This beautiful property has been renovated to a luxurious standard using solid oak joinery throughout, Italian marble floors in the kitchen and bathrooms - all with underfloor heating, mode lighting and CCTV security alarm system. Within the renovation work, original timbers, the fireplaces and brickwork have been revealed and restored. The use of bi-fold doors has ensured that the farmhouse has a light and spacious feel throughout.

From the reception hall are doors to the original formal drawing room and dining room - both with feature inglenook fireplaces. Both rooms open into the inner hallway from which the study, wine cellar with cooler and spacious kitchen/breakfast and family rooms overlook the formal gardens and paddocks to the rear. The highly contemporary kitchen is fitted to the highest standard with state of the art wall and floor cabinets, extensive polished granite work surfaces, a wide range of integrated appliances including a NEFF fan assisted double ovens plus separate steam oven and microwave, induction hob, coffee maker, integrated fridge and separate freezer.

The grounds are a particular feature of the Farmhouse. Approached via a pair of solid wooden remotely operated gates with brick pillars which open onto a sweeping graveled driveway. There is a further gated driveway to the side leading to a substantial double garage with wc. Across the rear of the property is a flagstone terrace opening into the formal south facing gardens which have been planted with an abundance of trees, shrubs and hedges in keeping with the original farmhouse gardens. From the gardens is a gate leading into the paddocks and onto nearly 2 acres of woodland.
LARGE DETACHED ANNEX - GAMES ROOM/ANCILLIARY USE
Detached annex built in keeping with the original Farmhouse, using reclaimed bricks and clay times with larch cladding externally. Measuring approximately 700m2, the building work will be completed by the end of April. The annex will be finished with oak windows and bi-fold oak doors opening onto the rear gardens.
