Location
Situated between Reading and Oxford on the borders of Oxfordshire and Berkshire lies the picturesque village of Goring on Thames, nestling on the bank of the river opposite the village of Streatley in the ‘Goring Gap’, an historic crossing point of the Thames where the ancient Ridgeway Path comes down from the Berkshire Downlands to meet the river and then onto the Chiltern Hills continuing eventually on the Icknield Way into East Anglia. The surrounding countryside is designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and the centres of both Goring and Streatley are now ‘Conservation Areas’, thus preserving the many notable period properties, some of which date back to the 15th and 16th centuries.
Goring offers a good range of amenities, including shops, banks, library, modern health centre, dentist, several traditional inns and restaurants, Boutique hotel, churches of several denominations and an excellent primary school with a wide range of private and state schools in the local area. Importantly the village boasts a mainline railway station which provides excellent commuter services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour. There are also good road communications to the surrounding towns and both the M4 and M40 motorway networks.
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 luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities.
Summerfield Rise is a quiet close situated off the tree lined Elvendon Road as it leaves Goring on Thames, winding up through the scenic Elvendon Valley towards Woodcote passing Elvendon Priory, a superb Grade I listed period house. The Elvendon Valley is surrounded by mainly private Estate farms and woodland and is renowned for its mass of daffodils in spring and for the chestnut trees which line the road. There are numerous footpaths and bridleways leading off the road.
Property description
12 Summerfield Rise is of contemporary design and construction having brick elevations under a pitched and gabled tile roof.
A simply charming modern and contemporary residence, the property benefits from having been sympathetically extended and modernised in more recent years to an exacting and appealing standard, both embracing and complimenting the property’s original features in a delightfully stylish and contemporary fashion, with exceptionally stylish fixtures and fittings being evident throughout, and affording exceptionally spacious well apportioned accommodation that combines a traditional and more open plan layout to great effect, whilst realising a wholly relaxing ambience and outlook over its glorious gardens.
Careful planning and attention has been provided, combining more modern open plan living with that of a rather more traditional nature, in addition to embracing outside living, and as a consequence the property presents itself as a delightfully spacious modern and contemporary family home that boasts many quality fixtures and fittings of note throughout.
In July 2013 planning permission was granted for conversion of the attic space to form a further 2 bedrooms, 1 with recessed balcony, and a bathroom. Please see plans within and online at the sodc planning portal: P13/S1379/hh. Whilst the planning permission was valid for 3 years from being granted, as is normal, it is thought that to re-instate the planning permission would be altogether straight forward in process. Additional or varied further potential for expansion to the original planning permission is thought to exist subject to the relevant permission being obtained.
Early viewing of the property is recommended to fully appreciate the many notable features the property has to offer.
Outside
The property is privately approached over a gravelled driveway flanked on one side with timber panelled fencing and to the other side a lawned garden having attractively displayed hedging and a prominent cherry tree. Side gated access is afforded to both sides of the property.
The driveway affords ample parking for numerous vehicles and leads up to the integral garage which benefits from great additional space at the end for a workshop area, with a useful door opening through to the study.
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and is arranged on three main levels. Immediately behind the bungalow is a full width terrace perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining with brick retaining walls and a central wide sweeping staircase leading up to the second extensive terraced patio garden, again perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining, which affords a delightful display of colours throughout the seasons with a centrally featured water garden and beautifully shaped mature hedging and shrubs. A useful spacious timber store shed to the lower level provides superb storage or the possibility of a workshop.
Further steps then lead to the large mainly lawned garden which offers a super area for children, and also a second timber store shed.
Outside there has been much thought placed on landscaping the attractive and mature gardens and grounds which are apparent on viewing the property, being simply delightful and a real colourful treat to be viewed. Far reaching distant rural views across to the surrounding Chilterns countryside and Elvendon Valley are to be found in abundance.
In all the landscaped southerly facing gardens & grounds are approximately just over 1/5th Acre.
