House For Sale £3,000,000
Description:
A rare opportunity to purchase an historic property within the heart of Goring on Thames, dating from the late 1800s. The property has more recently been converted to use as two separate homes, and in its current configuration would ideally suit someone in need of a self contained annexe, though it can be restored to its original design as a substantial single family home. The house offers wonderful architectural features including high ceilings, turreted windows and a covered columned veranda. The property sits on formal lawned grounds at the front, and distant glimpses of the River Thames and hills of Lardon Chase can be caught from many of the upper floor rooms. The considerable accommodation measures in excess of 4,700 sq ft, and includes four reception rooms, two kitchens, eight bedrooms over two floors, four bathrooms and a cellar. Available with no onward chain. EPC Rating F.
