This exquisite example of modern architecture is the work of the acclaimed architect Patrick Gwynne and comes to market for the first time in its history. Commissioned by its only owners in 1959, the architectural design is a masterful exercise in light and materials. Grade II-listed, the lateral living space of over 2,150 sqft was sensitively extended in 1967, in line with Gwynne’s plans. The interior remains a showcase of mid-century features and lovingly retained period detailing. Lying low in beautifully landscaped gardens, the plan follows the gentle curve of a single-storey, a harmonious response to the quiet and secluded site. Henley-on-Thames and its train station are within easy walking distance, with direct services into central London in under one hour.
