Sonning Serenity

Peace and quiet await at this eye-catching, 300-year-old lakeside barn in idyllic Sonning Eye, just an eight-minute drive from the buzzing shops and pretty high street of Henley-on-Thames. The highlight is the vast outdoor space, where expansive lawns provide room for ball games, a basketball court is perfect for shooting hoops, and a generous patio invites alfresco meals. By the lake, a seating area is the ideal spot for sundowners, while the fire pit is made for toasting marshmallows under the stars. Inside, the vast open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is designed for socialising, with exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling windows and comfy sofas overlooking the pond. A second sitting room, complete with popcorn, is perfect for cosy movie nights, while each en-suite bedroom feels every bit as luxurious as a boutique hotel.
