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 in 2021, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
Long Meadow is an exclusive residential location approached over a private lane off Manor Road. Originally the lane led only to Long Meadow, a substantial village house set in acreage dating back to the early part of the 19th Century. In the early 1970’s an exclusive small development of 4 detached properties was built attractively sited around a circular central green with each house standing in sizeable garden plots protected on the other side of the lane by meadow land which eventually leads down to the river.
Property description
Conveniently located close to the heart of this quintessential English riverside village and just a few minutes’ walk to the river Thames, shops, restaurants and mainline railway station, this stunning property with its contemporary finishes enjoys a quiet, private setting in attractive landscaped gardens which extend to approximately 0.48 of an acre. Originally built in 1970, Ridgeway House was thoroughly renovated and creatively extended in 2018 to create a home whose design is very light, airy and open plan and whose rooms are all generously proportioned. Great thought has been given to the layout of the property to maximise flexibility in terms of how the accommodation is used, including the option for a self-contained annex if desired. The accommodation comprises:
• Four reception rooms - a kitchen dining and family room, a games room / study, a sitting room and a cinema room (plus the option for a fifth ground floor reception room if only four bedrooms are required)
• Three large first floor bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms and one family bathroom, all bedrooms with integrated sliding-door wardrobes
• Two large downstairs bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom and with French doors opening onto a paved terrace and the landscaped garden
• Entrance hall, cloakroom, utility room and second fully equipped kitchen (in case part of the accommodation is to be used as a self-contained annex)
Fittings and finishes are of a very high standard and include Scandinavian double glazed windows and exterior doors, Collingwood recess LED lighting, plantation shutters to all windows and Simplisafe alarm system.
The kitchen is contemporary in design and incorporates furniture from Schmidt including a large island unit with breakfast bar offering seating for four, quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances from Neff and Bosch including induction hob and downdraught extractor fan on the island, two ovens, warming drawer and full height fridge and freezer.
Ridgeway House also boasts a fully equipped cinema room with recessed wall-mounted 82” Samsung Ultra HD Smart WiFi TV, Sonos surround sound system and luxurious leather curved home cinema seating comprising four electric reclining chairs.
In all the property extends to approximately 3,918 sq ft internally, affording a simply wonderful opportunity to acquire such a unique and delightful contemporary home in a most delightful location.
Outside
Ridgeway House sits privately nestled away within the village, affording stunning far reaching views of the wooded hilltop above Streatley-on-Thames. Proudly set in professionally landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 0.48 of an acre, which yield their own architectural merit with interesting design and attractive planting, most stunning and pleasing to view and relax within.
From Manor Road, a private lane, Long Meadow, runs off leading to just a small privately situated group of half a dozen or so houses only. From the central island, which benefits from several substantial trees and affords privacy for the four properties from each other, the spacious private driveway widens as it leads up to the detached garage and workshop, affording ample parking for numerous vehicles.
The accommodation connects beautifully with the landscaped gardens and the mature trees which surround most of it. An extensive outdoor dining and relaxation space has been created on a large wrap-around patio which is accessed through two pairs of wide sliding doors from the kitchen and dining area, capturing the sun for most of the day.
The garage is a large double and has a workshop at the rear of it which has the potential to be converted to a garden studio/home office if required.
Simply stunning, beautifully planted and designed, the gardens themselves are only enhanced by the peaceful setting and awe-inspiring views, and in all, extend to approximately 0.48 of an acre.
