LOCATION
The picturesque village of Streatley on Thames lies in a valley on
the Berkshire side of the river between Reading and Oxford, facing
Goring on the Oxfordshire side. The surrounding countryside is
designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and historically
this was a natural crossing point of the river, set between the
Berkshire Downs and Chiltern Hills, known geographically as the
Goring Gap . The interesting High Street, which forms the central
part of the village running down to the river and the bridge across
to Goring, is now a Conservation Area where there are a wealth of
period properties, many of considerable architectural merit
including a thatched cottage, a beautiful William and Mary house
and an Elizabethan Farmhouse, supposedly haunted by a lady in
white. Following the building of the railway through the Thames
Valley by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in approximately 1840, the
villagers of Streatley decided the railway should go on the Goring
side with the result now that while Streatley has changed little,
the village of Goring has grown substantially and is now the larger
of the two.
In the village there is a parish church with Norman origins, a
luxury riverside four star hotel, The Swan, which also offers a
leisure and fitness club and at the top of the High Street is the
Bull Inn, which was an old coaching inn where the Royal Mail
stopped en route between Oxford and London. There is also a
prestigious golf club, established over one hundred years ago, set
amidst beautiful rolling countryside. The village also boasts its
own very well regarded Primary School, with the outstanding
secondary school, The Downs , whose catchment area encompasses the
village with the school bus route passing through Streatley. In
addition to having well revered local state primary and secondary
schooling, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent
range of Independent schools.? Among these are 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 the School of St Helen & St
Katharine.
To the west of the main village the ground rises steeply where the
Berkshire Downlands meet the wide Thames Valley and from the top
there are panoramic views into both Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Much
of the woodland and hills surrounding Streatley have been acquired
in recent years by the National Trust and the extensive bridleways
and footpaths are now open to the public.
Across the river, the larger village of Goring on Thames offers a
wide range of amenities and facilities including shops, a modern
health centre, traditional inns, a hotel, library, dentist and,
importantly, a main line railway station providing excellent
commuter services to Oxford, Reading and London Paddington . There
is also easy access to the major local towns, including Oxford,
Reading and Newbury, the M40 and M4 motorways, the latter linking
directly to Heathrow Airport.
Crossrail services have now commenced which together with the
electrification of the line, will significantly improve travelling
times to Paddington and central City of London destinations.
