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 is known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ and is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. In 2009, Goring was awarded the prestigious ‘Oxfordshire Village of the Year’ and also the ‘Britain in Bloom’ competition several times including 2022. Local amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, together with a riverside café, a gastropub with rooms, a lovely traditional pub, a full NHS practice, veterinary practice, dentist and library. The village hosts numerous popular and well attended annual events.

Importantly, a mainline railway station provides fast commuter services to London Paddington in 45 minutes. 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, riverside Lobster Bar and gym.

The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling, which includes not only the ever popular Goring-on-Thames Primary School and Langtree Secondary School in Woodcote, but also Cranford School, Moulsford Preparatory School, The Oratory Preparatory & The Oratory School, St Andrews Preparatory 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.

Elizabeth Line services commenced from Reading in 2022, which together with the completed electrification of the GWR line, has significantly improved travelling times to central London and the City, Heathrow and as far east as Essex.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in 1989, 40c Wallingford Road is one of four properties comprising two pairs of semi-detached houses in a ‘Cottage’ style with sloping tile roofs and tiled dormers to the first floor. Traditional in appearance with red brick elevations and having brick sills to windows around the ground floor the two pairs of properties are arranged around a central courtyard area with designated parking bays for each house.

The current owner has improved in recent years with new UPVC windows and the installation of gas central heating, including underfloor to much of downstairs. Entrance is under an open porch into the hall which has a large coats cupboard and Porceline Tiled flooring which runs through into the kitchen and dining room.  The kitchen has been recently refitted with white units and black worktop.  The dining room has a glass roof which allows much light to spill through.  There is also a large larder cupboard for storage.  The sitting room overlooks the front with a wide bay window and seating.  Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, the main room having double fitted wardrobes.  The bathroom is a white suite with bath and overhead electric shower.  The landing has an airing cupboard with combi boiler and access to the loft.  Mostly boarded, the loft has a ladder and ample storage space. 
Planning permission has previously been granted in August 2017 for a 2 storey extension. Now lapsed, there is an opportunity to extend, subject to reapplying for planning.

Recently landscaped to the front with fenced boundaries and large lawned area, the property also enjoys two designated parking bays to the left hand side.  The private garden can be either externally accessed via a separate pathway and pedestrian gate or via the dining room from the house.
