LOCATION
Goring on Thames lies serenely in the beautiful Thames Valley set
between the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire and the Berkshire Downs
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 caf ,
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 6th 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,
which together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
Lycroft Close is a quiet L shaped cul de sac approached off the
wide tree lined Milldown Avenue. The Close comprises detached
houses of differing size, architectural design and internal
arrangement and were built in the mid 1960 s by Gough Cooper, a
well respected Development Company. The houses are traditionally
constructed in a contemporary style for the period and have the
benefit of good sized gardens. The top part of the Close only has
houses along one side of the road which all face a wide grassed
verge with mature deciduous trees forming a small copse extending
along the full length behind providing colour and interest through
the year.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Ideally situated within the quiet heart of this quintessentially
English village, but a short walk to The River Thames, extensive
high street shops and restaurants, the well revered primary school,
and for the mainline railway station providing direct access to
London in under the hour, 5 Lycroft Close sits back in its plot,
privately enjoying large mature gardens and grounds of
approximately 0.13 of an acre.? Having traditional red brick
elevations under a pitched tiled and part dormered roof with wide
glazing, the property presents itself as a contemporary family home
which extends to approximately 1,431sq ft, affording a delightfully
traditional yet open plan layout, with 2 reception rooms, 3
bedrooms, 1 bathroom, as well as a garage. In a most charming
setting, a spacious detached home is afforded.
OUTSIDE
Quietly and privately situated directly off Lycroft Close, a
private driveway leads up to the integral garage and front door,
opening through to the reception hall. Extensive planting and an
expansive lawned garden run across the front and side of the house,
leading through wide double timber gates to the main East facing
rear garden and grounds. The rear garden is spacious and light, and
ever so attractive and mature, with great privacy afforded,
benefitting from a wealth of established attractive planting to all
boundaries, which flank a central lawned garden. A wide paved patio
terrace leads off the rear of the house itself, providing a
charming situation for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Wonderfully mature and most private, the landscaped gardens and
grounds must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
