Specialist loft conversion company in Henley, Touchstone Lofts

Henley-on-Thames is a picturesque historic market town on the River Thames in Oxfordshire. It lies 9 miles northeast of the nearest large town which is Reading, 7 miles to the west of Maidenhead and 23 miles from Oxford. The parish population of Henley is currently around 12,500.

Steeped in history, Henley has many fascinating buildings from past centuries. A good way to learn the interesting history of Henley is to follow The Henley Trail, a guided walk that takes in the town’s historic buildings and streets.

Ass the name suggests, Henley is situated on the Thames, and is host to the Oxford vs Cambridge boat race. A two-week-long party is held in the town each year to celebrate the world’s most famous rowing regatta.

Henley is also well known for the rowing museum, its music and arts festival, and lush green parks. For a relatively small town, there is a wide choice of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Henley to London

Henley is close enough to commute to London, as the average journey time between Henley and Paddington is 1 hour 6 minutes. With 48 trains travelling from Henley-on-Thames to London every day, the town is well connected to the capital as well as to Oxford, Reading and Maidenhead.

A Lloyds Bank’s study of house price growth in 125 market towns in 2016 found that Henley was to be the second-most expensive market town in the UK after Beaconsfield. The average property is currently valued at £861,323, a 26.83% rise over the value 5 years ago.

Due to high property prices that continue to rise, moving to a larger property in Henley is an expensive business, and the reason many Henley homeowners choose to stay put and expand their living space with a loft conversion instead of moving.
