Location
Widely regarded as one of South Oxfordshire's most desirable villages, Goring-on-Thames enjoys a stunning setting within the Thames Valley, nestled between the Chiltern Hills and Berkshire Downs in the heart of the National Landscape. Renowned for its beautiful riverside walks and picturesque scenery, the village inspired literary classics including The Wind in the Willows and Three Men in a Boat.
The village offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, doctors' and dental surgeries, together with a mainline railway station providing fast services to London Paddington. Reading, Oxford, Newbury, the M4, M40 and Heathrow Airport are all within easy reach.
Just across the bridge lies the charming village of Streatley, home to the renowned Swan at Streatley hotel and Coppa Club, both enjoying spectacular riverside settings. Goring also benefits from a highly regarded primary school, excellent nearby state and independent schools, and a thriving community, making it an exceptional place to call home.

Property Description
Clevemede House is an elegant late Victorian residence dating from around 1882, set within almost an acre of beautifully landscaped, mature grounds and approached via a private driveway leading to generous gravelled parking. One of Goring-on-Thames' most distinguished period homes, the building is rich in architectural character, with decorative brickwork, impressive bay windows and a striking gabled roof.
Originally built as a substantial family residence, Clevemede House was thoughtfully converted into just eight individual apartments following the Second World War. Great care was taken to preserve the building's magnificent proportions and original character, most notably within the impressive communal reception hall, where beautiful stained-glass windows create a truly memorable first impression.
Today, Clevemede House offers the rare combination of elegant period living, beautifully maintained communal gardens and a peaceful village setting, all within easy walking distance of Goring's amenities, mainline station and the River Thames.

Apartment
Apartment 1 Clevemede has been beautifully and sympathetically restored by the current owners, seamlessly blending elegant contemporary finishes with the property's original Victorian character. An extensive refurbishment has included complete rewiring, new plumbing, replacement radiators, quality finishes throughout and the installation of sound insulation within lowered ceilings, creating a home that is as practical as it is beautiful. Original features have been carefully preserved, including impressive high ceilings, deep original skirting boards, picture rails and large sash windows, all of which enhance the apartment's sense of space and character.
Accessed via the impressive secure communal reception hall, the apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hall with striking black and white chequerboard tiled flooring.
The elegant sitting room is beautifully proportioned, featuring engineered oak flooring, a bespoke fitted media unit and an attractive original fireplace, creating a wonderfully inviting space in which to relax.

There is ample space for a full-sized dining table together with a comfortable seating area, creating the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate utility and pantry room provides excellent additional storage and practicality.

Outside
