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. The village also boast its own very
well regarded Streatley Primary School, with the outstanding
secondary school, The Downs , being in catchment for the village
also, and having its own bus route. In addition to having well
revered local state primary and secondary schooling, 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.
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 .
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 from Reading,
with the full service scheduled to commence in shortly, which
together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
