Location


The much prized village of Goring on Thames occupies a stunning location in the Thames Valley set between the Chiltern Hills and Berkshire Downlands as the River flows from Oxford down to Reading, in an area of scenic landscape known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and designated an ‘A.O.N.B.’ In 2009 Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the Year’ and also won the coveted best in ‘South of England’ title.

This stretch of the River, the longest between locks, is regarded as one of the most beautiful and is forever associated with Kenneth Grahame’s immortal book “The Wind in the Willows” as well as Jerome K Jerome’s book “Three Men in a Boat” which actually mentions Streatley in its narrative.

The village boasts an excellent range of shops and facilities together with Olde Worlde pubs, a highly regarded Bistro/Café, choice of restaurants, Post Office, Boutique hotel, Doctors and Dental surgeries and importantly a mainline station offering fast services up to London (Paddington). There is also easy access for the major local towns, including Oxford, Reading and Newbury, the M4 and M40 motorways, and for Heathrow.

N.B. Crossrail services from Reading together with the electrification of the line significantly improves travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.

Recognised as a thriving community, there are a wide range of clubs, societies and special interest groups to suit most people.

There is a highly rated Primary school and in the local area are a first-class choice of both state and private schools with bus collections.

The central part of Goring is a ‘Conservation Area’ and has a wealth of interesting period properties many Listed being of significant architectural and historical interest.

Streatley on Thames, situated on the opposite Berkshire side of the river, is another pretty 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 luxury 4 star riverside hotel The Swan, renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities and Coppa Club restaurant.
Property description


Gap House has an exceptionally relaxing ambience and outlook, being privately situated in mature and spacious landscaped gardens and grounds from which the very head of the grounds afford far-reaching views towards the wooded hilltop on the opposing side of the river.

The accommodation is attractively laid out to a high standard, immaculately presented throughout, affording spacious and well-orientated accommodation, having 3 reception rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, Cloakroom, Utility Room and a part-attached garage. The design of the property and size of the grounds afford clear potential for either further adaptation and enlargement, or further development subject to the relevant permissions being obtained.

A simply wonderful opportunity afforded, and quite rare to the open market, early viewing of Gap House is highly recommended.
Outside


The property occupies a most advantageous position, quietly situated off Fairfield Road behind tall mature hedging, just a short walk from the extensive amenities found within the village, as well as for the river Thames. The property benefits from spacious driveways, on either side of the property with a large lawned garden in between, providing ample parking with the part-attached garage situated off to the left side.

The main gardens and grounds are situated to the rear of the property, due South and West, and are mainly laid to lawn, flanked by a great array of mature hedging, shrubs, and herbaceous borders, providing an attractive backdrop and private outlook. Off to one side of the garden there is a garden room enjoying views.
