Description

Brought to the market for the first time in over 25 years, Whittington House is a characterful, double-fronted, 5 bedroom end of terrace house, offering many original features. The property was built and inhabited by Thomas Hamilton in the early 1900s, who went on to build many of the Victorian properties in Queen Street and beyond. A decorative stone frieze of Dick Whittington sits above the front door, which opens to a central entrance hall, featuring original cornice and corbels. On one side of the entrance hall is the spacious, dual-aspect living room with distinctive fireplace and access to the utility room and W.C. Located on the other side of the hall are the interconnecting dining room and kitchen, with views over the garden from the breakfast bar. On the first floor, the dual aspect principal bedroom has ample storage, a dressing area and an ensuite. Also on the first floor is the second bedroom and a large family bathroom. On the second floor are two further generous bedrooms, one with original arched window offering views over Henley, and a family bathroom. A fifth bedroom/TV room, shower room and workshop can be found in the basement. The property benefits from generous storage throughout. To the rear of the property is a private SW facing garden, with access to the double garage and side pedestrian gate.
