LOCATION
Goring-on-Thames lies serenely in the beautiful Thames Valley set between the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire and the Berkshire Downlands opposite above the village of Streatley, the area known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

In 2010 Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the Year’ and also the coveted ‘South of England’ title. Local amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, together with a riverside café, boutique hotel, two olde worlde inns, health centre, veterinary practice, dentist and library. Importantly, a mainline railway station provides fast commuter services to London (Paddington) in well under the hour. The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling. 

The central village ‘Conservation Area’ has a wealth of architecturally interesting properties, many listed and dating from around the 16th Century. Historically, Goring-on-Thames traces back to Saxon times.

In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within Goring-on-Thames itself, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.

Streatley-on-Thames, on the Berkshire side of the river, is another picturesque village surrounded by hills and woodlands now mainly owned by the National Trust. Fronting onto the river by the bridge crossing over to Goring is the Swan at Streatley, a luxury 4 star riverside hotel with adjoining Coppa Club and leisure and fitness facilities.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, with the full service scheduled to commence shortly, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Believed to date from approximately 1870, Fryern is a most charming semi- detached property built in the typical late Victorian ‘Villa’ style, having appealing red brickwork under a pitched slate roof.  Sympathetically extended in the 1920’s and more recently at the turn of the Century, the property now affords attractively appointed spacious accommodation, which successfully incorporate original character features with a modern and contemporary theme. 

Internally the property extends to approximately 1,291 sq ft, affording 3 reception rooms to the ground floor, in addition to a most spacious part-galleried reception hall and cloakroom, whilst to the first floor, from the part-galleried landing there are 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom and airing cupboard.

A most stunningly characterful yet contemporary home, affording a skilful offering of both traditional living, with that of a rather more modern air, embracing its stunning gardens and grounds and private surroundings, with inside outside living, a simply wonderful opportunity afforded, with early viewing of Fryern being highly recommended.

OUTSIDE
Fryern occupies a secluded corner position fronting onto Station Road at the junction with Croft Road. Across the frontage to Station Road there is a brick and flint wall with high and mature yew and box hedging, which continues along the side boundary with Croft Road, providing all year- round privacy. A wrought iron pedestrian gate with shallow flagged steps leads up to a flagged terrace by the front door and covered porch, with a similar pathway running along the side of the property to the rear garden.

The rear garden has a delightful southerly aspect and has been extensively landscaped providing a central lawn with flagged paths and terraces, flanked by low lying walled stocked beds with a great many colourful plants of note.

Walled flagged steps at the rear of the garden lead down to the gravelled drive and forecourt area which fronts onto the garaging with barn style car port off to one side. From Croft Road a 5 -bar gate opens onto the gravelled drive area leading to the detached garage, which is built in matching brick construction under a pitched clay tile roof, with timber double doors, fitted light and power, and a vaulted ceiling with boarded Loft storage, with a side pedestrian door opening out onto the car port.

Delightfully attractive, the gardens and setting must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
