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 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-on-Thames is The Swan at Streatley, a luxury 4- star riverside hotel with adjoining Coppa Club and leisure and fitness facilities.

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 and Langtree Secondary School in Woodcote, 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.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
63 Wallingford Road is one of two only detached houses of bespoke architectural design built in 1999 by a respected local Developer. The house has appealing ‘Cottage’ style features, notably with a wide rustic timbered porch having a tiled roof, red brick elevations and a tiled hipped roof with tiled dormer windows to first floor, with wrought iron railings running across the frontage.  Entrance is into a spacious hallway, part galleried and having a cloakroom off.  The study and dining room overlook the front of the house and the dining room has doors leading into the kitchen breakfast room.  With fitted shaker style units, the kitchen offers good space and large window overlooks the mature gardens.  An integral door leads to the garage which has been turned into a “craft” room.  The sitting room also looks across the terrace and garden beyond, with French doors allowing access and a perfect opportunity for “al fresco” living.  Upstairs there is a generous landing area and loft has a ladder for further storage.  The main bedroom enjoys garden views and there are 2 sets of double built in wardrobes as well as an ensuite shower room.  There are 2 further bedrooms, one with built in wardrobes and a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower.

A wrought iron railed fence runs between the driveway and the house with steps leading down to the front door.  A gate to the left hand side takes you through to the rear garden.   The impressive gardens gently slope away from the house, enjoying simply wonderful panoramic views across the Thames Valley. A raised balcony terrace leading off the living  room provides a wonderful spot for outside dining and entertaining, facing West and enjoying fabulous sunsets.  The gardens have a mature feel, with hedged boundaries with trees intertwined and a French Bean Tree in the middle of the cultivated lawn.  Totally private, the gardens are a true haven
