Wyfold CourtKingwood, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 5WF

Wyfold Court Mansion was built in 1876 for Edward Hermon and designed by the renowned architect George Somers Clarke. An imposing and highly distinctive building, the mansion draws strong influence from the French Flamboyant Gothic style, evident in its ornate stonework, stained glass and dramatic architectural detailing. In the late 1990s, the property was acquired by the highly respected country house developer PJ Livesey, who sensitively converted the mansion into eleven exceptional private residences.

10 Wyfold Court is an elegant first-floor duplex apartment enjoying a desirable south and west‑facing aspect. The principal reception rooms and the principal bedroom suite are arranged laterally, retaining the magnificent proportions and original features of the building. These include high ceilings with ornate plasterwork, marble fireplaces and an abundance of stained glass windows set within stone mullions, allowing the apartment to fully capture the splendour of its historic setting.

The reception rooms feature wood block flooring and enjoy panoramic, far‑reaching views across the gardens, grounds and surrounding countryside. The second-floor bedrooms and bathrooms benefit from vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers, adding further character. The entrance hall features panelled walls and ceiling, wood block flooring and a staircase rising to the upper level. The magnificent double‑aspect drawing room has a wood block floor, marble fireplace and a full‑height bay window with stained glass set in stone mullions, overlooking the gardens and grounds.

The large kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor units, complemented by a marble fireplace and integrated Neff appliances, including a double oven, microwave combination oven, hob and extractor, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. A breakfast bar provides informal dining, while the adjoining dining room enjoys views over the gardens and grounds.

A particularly special feature of the apartment is the charming, south‑facing turret, with window seats overlooking the gardens, stained glass windows, stone mullions with ornate carvings and a Gothic vaulted ceiling. Doors from the dining area lead to an impressive library fitted with extensive mahogany bookcases and a desk, together with a marble fireplace and French windows opening onto a pretty Juliet balcony. The stained glass above the windows is unique within the building, depicting figures representing poetry and literature.

The principal bedroom enjoys a marble fireplace, views over the gardens and access to a balcony, together with an en suite bathroom featuring a power shower, twin wash basins set in marble, WC and bidet.
