An attractive three-bedroom period semi-detached home in the heart of Goring-on-Thames, ideal for families or commuters who value village life with fast rail links. The house combines traditional features — a front bay window, fireplace and cast-iron mantel — with a contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner that opens to a large west-facing garden. Off-street parking and a short 0.3 mile walk to Goring station add everyday convenience.
The accommodation is well proportioned across approximately 956 sq ft: entrance hall with cloakroom, sitting room, open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors, three bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom. The rear garden extends to about 60ft with patio, lawn, fruit trees and two sheds — a clear selling point for outdoor living and entertaining.
Buyers should note some practical points: the house is a period property constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (insulation not confirmed), double glazing of unknown date and a single family bathroom. Council Tax Band E and average broadband speeds reflect local costs and connectivity levels. Overall the property is presented well but will suit purchasers who appreciate period character and who are prepared for the typical maintenance and upgrading needs of an older home.
Positioned in an affluent, low-crime village with good local shops, medical services and well-regarded schools nearby, the location offers strong appeal for families and commuters. The freehold tenure and close proximity to Reading and London by rail add longer-term practicality and resale value.
