Key facts
Property description
DESCRIPTION:
A detached thatched cottage situated down a quiet country lane in a desirable semi-rural location, adjacent to open paddocks and with a distant sweeping vista across the dramatic scenery of the Goring Gap. Approximately 200 years old, the property has been sympathetically renovated and extended, including a recent re-thatch by a master thatcher, and offers an attractive mix of period and modern features, including a ground floor extension maximising the countryside views. As the property is not listed, there is further scope for extension if required (subject to usual permissions and restrictions). The house is oriented to the front with a Southwest aspect, with most rooms offering an attractive outlook over the gardens. The property is very conveniently located for access to the Oratory Prep School, and is also well connected with mainline train stations only 3 miles away in both nearby villages of Goring on Thames and Pangbourne, offering direct links to London and Oxford. The well presented accommodation includes: entrance porch and hall, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, study, ground floor en-suite bedroom/living room, main en-suite bedroom, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom. EPC Rating D.
ACCOMMODATION:
An enclosed porch at the side leads to an entrance hall with terracotta tiled floor, leading to a WC and utility room. Steps lead down to the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of coloured units with oak worktops, integrated larder fridge and dishwasher, freestanding Britannia range cooker, a store cupboard and larder. The hall also leads to a dining room, which in turn goes into the sitting room. This room has exposed ceiling beams and a large fireplace with a tiled hearth fitted with a cast iron wood burner. There is also a further door to the front with a covered porch. A study is accessible from the sitting room, again with exposed original beams and timbers and an attractive countryside outlook. To complete the ground floor accommodation is a versatile room, added by the current owners within the last five years and featuring a vaulted oak framed ceiling with bi-folding doors onto a decked seating area, offering a spectacular view over neighbouring paddock and a sweeping outlook across the Goring Gap. This room also offers an en-suite shower room with aqualisa shower, making it an ideal guest bedroom.
A turning staircase leads to a split landing. The main bedroom is situated within the oldest section of the home, with original exposed ceiling timbers, a walk-in wardrobe, and steps down to a modern en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms to the first floor, one with a built in cupboard. The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite.
OUTSIDE SPACE:
A five bar timber gate opens to a gravelled drive at the front with parking for multiple cars leading to the garage. The mature and established garden is located primarily to the front, laid to level lawn with planted beds and a mature flowering magnolia as a central feature. A flagstone patio at the side leads to a timber deck, with open post and rail fencing to maximise the views over the adjacent paddock and towards distant countryside beyond.
There is also a timber double garage with dual timber doors, light, power and rafter storage above. There is another large timber shed/workshop.
