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 on Thames has grown substantially and is now the larger village.

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 when 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.

In the village within close walking distance is the very well regarded Streatley Nursery & Primary School, with the outstanding secondary school, The Downs , being in catchment for the village also, and having its own bus route from the end of Townsend Road. The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School and Moulsford Preparatory School, which are just 2 miles away, The Oratory 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, with most having private bus services from Streatley itself, just a moments walk from Tierra Mia.

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.

Across the river, the larger village of Goring on Thames offers a wide range of amenities and facilities including shops, 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 well under an hour. There is also easy access for the major local towns, including Oxford, Reading and Newbury, the M40 and M4 motorways, the latter linking directly to Heathrow.

Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced, running from Reading to London, with the full service across London scheduled to commence shortly, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Cleeve Court Lodge is a most delightful country home, peacefully situated, adjoining open countryside in mature gardens and grounds of approximately 0.39 of an acre, within the beautiful riverside village of Streatley on Thames, just a short hop to the river Thames, village shops and restaurants, schooling, and mainline railway station, which provides direct access to London within the hour.

Proudly displaying wonderful period architecture, the property has mainly traditional brick elevations, with part timbered and whitened elevations, sitting under a clay tiled roof. The flexible appointment and orientation of the existing accommodation and siting of the house on the garden plot lends itself to further flexible and generous adaptation and enlargement, subject to planning permission and ones own desire. The house is traditionally appointed internally, affording 2 bedrooms to the first floor, one being a suite, whilst to the ground floor there are 5 reception rooms, a bathroom, and utility room, with there being the option for one or two of the reception rooms to quite easily be utilised as bedrooms if required.

Extending in all to approximately 1,819 sq ft, with great further potential afforded, Cleeve Court Lodge represents a simply wonderful opportunity, with viewing highly recommended.

OUTSIDE
Cleeve Court Lodge sits privately tucked away on the elevated near fringe of the village, initially accessed along a shared private driveway, then opening through on to a private gravelled driveway to the property. The attached double garage is off to one side, whilst a simply charming period covered entrance porch adorns the front of the house, welcoming you in.

The approach to the property is most stunning, being long and winding with a tree lined vista breaking through to open countryside, only bettered once in the private grounds to the cottage, with the open fields adjoining the property, with rural views in abundance.

The property rests quietly in mature gardens and grounds of approximately 0.39 of an acre, which boast a wealth of mature and colourful planting, including many specimen trees, plants, and hedging, providing a wonderfully attractive backdrop which is ever changing throughout the seasons. The main lawned garden is most generous, whilst more dedicated areas of the gardens reveal areas for a vegetable garden, and a useful greenhouse and timber store shed.

Simply stunning, and most charming, the gardens and grounds themselves are only enhanced by the peaceful rural setting and delightful views, providing an all encompassing inside outside lifestyle, and in all, extend to approximately 0.39 of an acre.
