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 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.

Icknield Road lies on the elevated North Eastern fringe of the village eventually climbing up onto the surrounding Chilterns countryside.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, with the full service scheduled to commence in 2021, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
9 Cleeve Park Cottages occupies a quiet advantageous elevated position on the fringe of the village, set in beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. Originally dating from the early 1900’s, the property is a spacious Edwardian villa originally built in the traditional vernacular style incorporating attractive architectural features. Having appealing red brick elevations, likely to be from the historic local Woodcote kiln, under a clay tiled roof, the cottage has in more recent years been enlarged with a 2 storey extension at the side built in matching architectural style. The property affords 3 bedrooms, 1 with a study / dressing room, 2 receptions rooms, a kitchen and small utility, cloak room, family bathroom, and an attached car port, garage, and store, extending in all to approximately 1,356 sq ft.

Careful planning and attention has been provided combining, more modern open plan living with that of a rather more traditional nature, in addition to embracing outside living, and as a consequence the property presents itself as a delightfully spacious contemporary family home that boasts many quality fixtures and fittings of note throughout.

OUTSIDE
The property fronts onto Icknield Road which leads out of the village into the surrounding Chilterns countryside. Across the frontage there is a low lying brick wall with close boarded fencing to the sides and with a 5-bar entrance gate opening onto a spacious driveway and forecourt area, providing ample parking space, and leading to the car port and garage, with a gated pedestrian walkway leading to the main rear gardens.

The garden at the rear is most mature and delightful, affording a well-established garden which yields both areas of relaxation as well as play, in addition to a vegetable garden to the very rear, with a glazed greenhouse. Directly off the back of the house there is a stone laid raised terrace, perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining, with lovely views over the gardens afforded. Steps lead down to level gardens, with the garage & store off to one side as well as a timber shed, and a pergola to the other side. Extensive lawned areas of garden are interspersed with mature planting and trees with a pathway running off to one side along the gardens, with close boarded fencing to both boundaries.

Delightfully attractive and mature, the private gardens & grounds must be viewed to be fully appreciated, and in total extend into approximately 0.17 of an acre.
