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.
Property description
Timberlawn enjoys an exceptionally relaxing ambience and outlook, being privately appointed, situated in mature and spacious landscaped gardens and grounds which extend to approximately 0.95 of an acre, and adjoin paddocks, enjoying a particularly wide and deep plot, measuring approximately 55m wide and 73m deep, providing a perfect opportunity for further development of the plot, should one wish to do so, adding greatly to the overall appeal.
Quite charming, Timberlawn is thought to have been built in the 1950’s, by the locally revered builders ‘Smallbones’. Originally a single storey dwelling, in later life, the property has had the addition of a master bedroom and bathroom to the first floor, taking advantage of the views over the mature gardens and beyond, towards the National Trust land and wooded hillside above Streatley-on-Thames.
The property is both contemporary of era, yet engaging, with much to enthuse over, yielding a very real and tasteful quality readily apparent on viewing, affording spacious accommodation of approximately 2,616 sq ft, with a detached double garage of approximately 301 sq ft located off to one side.
The design of the property and size of the grounds afford clear potential for either further adaptation and enlargement, or complete re-development of the plot, with one or more replacement properties, subject to the relevant permissions being obtained.
A simply wonderful opportunity afforded, and quite rare to the open market, early viewing of Timberlawn is highly recommended.
Outside
Timberlawn occupies a most advantageous position, quietly situated towards the end of Manor Road, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the extensive amenities to found within the village, as well as for the river Thames. A wide timber five bar gate, flanked by timber post fencing and mature hedging and trees, opens on to the spacious driveway and forecourt, with the detached double garage situated off to one side.
The grounds to the front are exceptionally mature, and offer great privacy and tranquillity, with a lawned front garden to one side, as one approaches the house, and a colourful wooded copse off to the opposing side, displaying a wealth of Spring bulbs.
The gardens wrap their way around the property on four sides, whilst to the rear, where the main lawned garden can be found, there is a great array of mature hedging, shrubs, and trees, providing an attractive backdrop, and with a stone laid terrace to one end of the property, just off the dining room, perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining, enjoying simply delightful views back over to the gardens, and above to the National Trust land and wooded hillside above Streatley-on-Thames in the distance.
Delightfully attractive, the gardens and grounds must be viewed to be fully appreciated, and in total, extend into approximately 0.95 of an acre.
