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 which includes not only the well revered Goring-on-Thames Primary School, but also 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.
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.
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.
Property description
Believed to have been built in 1939, being most reminiscent of late Edwardian architecture, Southview House is a most delightful yet impressive residence, which is privately situated close to the centre of the beautiful riverside village of Goring-on-Thames, just a short walk to the village primary school, River Thames, village shops and restaurants, and mainline railway station, which provides direct access to London in under the hour.
Having red brick elevations with pebble dashing to the upper floor under a pitched tile roof and with rounded bays at the front in the principal reception room and master bedroom above, externally the property displays proudly its architectural roots, whilst in more recent years, it has been sympathetically extended and extensively refurbished and modernised throughout, successfully blending in the old and new elements, whilst retaining period ambience with a modern air. This has created a most stunningly characterful yet contemporary home which extends to approximately 2,303 sq ft, which affords an inspired offering of both traditional living, with that of a rather more open plan note, providing 4/5 bedrooms, 1 being a suite, and 1 to the ground floor if required, with a shower room adjacent and a private inner hall, 3 bathrooms, 3/4 reception rooms, and an integral garage, encapsulating its stunning mature gardens and grounds and private surroundings.
A simply wonderful opportunity afforded, and quite rare indeed to the open market, early viewing of Southview House is highly recommended.
