LOCATION
Goring on Thames lies serenely in the beautiful Thames Valley set between the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire and the Berkshire Downlands opposite above the village of Streatley, the area known geographically as the Goring Gap and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty .

In 2010 Goring was awarded the prestigious Oxfordshire Village of the Year and also the coveted South of England title. Local amenities include a super primary school, an excellent range of interesting shops and restaurants, together with a riverside caf©, boutique hotel, two olde worlde inns, health centre, veterinary practice, dentist and library. Importantly, a mainline railway station provides fast commuter services to London Paddington in well under the hour. The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling.

The central village Conservation Area has a wealth of architecturally interesting properties, many listed and dating from around the 16th Century. Historically, Goring on Thames traces back to Saxon times.

In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within Goring on Thames itself, 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.

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 Swan at Streatley, a luxury 4 star riverside hotel with adjoining Coppa Club and leisure and fitness facilities.

Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

To the rear, they added a newly built 3 storey complex, successfully matching the external period style and replicating the Victorian theme with stone window sills, appealing red brickwork and clay tile hanging to elevations with exposed timbering in the gable ends all under an interesting clay tile roof featuring turreted bays and decorative windows.
