SITUATION
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’. Historically
the location of the two villages is at a natural crossing point of
the river, set between the Berkshire Downs and Chiltern Hills,
known geographically as the ‘Goring Gap’ where the ancient Ridgeway
path comes down to meet the river after its long journey across the
Berkshire Downlands before continuing up onto the Chiltern Hills
and the Icknield Way. The interesting High Street, which forms the
central part of the village running down to the river and the
bridge over to Goring, is now a ‘Conservation Area’ with 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.
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 being an old coaching inn from the era when the Royal Mail
stopped en route from London to Oxford.? There is also a
prestigious Golf Club, established over one hundred years ago, set
amidst beautiful rolling countryside, a nursery and a highly
regarded Church of England primary school. The local area is
extremely well catered for by private and state schools and is in
the catchment area for the much acclaimed Downs secondary school in
Compton.
Across the river, the larger village of Goring on Thames offers a
wide range of amenities and facilities including shops, a bank,
modern health centre, traditional inns, a hotel, library, dentist
and importantly a main line railway station providing excellent
commuter services to Oxford, Reading and up to London (Paddington)
in under the hour.
Behind Streatley the ground rises steeply where the Berkshire
Downlands meet the wide Thames Valley and from the top there are
panoramic views far into Oxfordshire. 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.
Woodfield Cottages lie at the foot of Streatley Hill and comprise
two pairs of semi-detached properties either side of a staggered
terrace of four built by Thomas Homes in 2003 in a sympathetic
‘Cottage’ style blending in with the local architectural heritage.
Each of the cottages has appealing multi stock brick elevations
with decorative banding and solider courses above windows under a
steeply pitched clay tile roof having ornamental ridge tiles and
scalloped barge boards in period manner.
