Summary - CHURCH CROFT COTTAGE 1 CHURCH LANE STREATLEY READING RG8 9HU
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Renovated one-bedroom cottage on Thames Path — ready to move in, chain free.
One double bedroom with decorative cast-iron fireplace
A compact, characterful cottage quietly tucked off Streatley High Street, ideal for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking village life with commuter links. The house was comprehensively renovated in the last two years: new kitchen and bathroom, new windows, boiler and updated electrics, so it’s largely move-in ready. East-facing windows and a woodburning stove create a bright, cosy sitting room, while the main bedroom is a generous double with a decorative cast-iron fireplace.
The location is a genuine strength: set on a quiet lane that forms part of the Thames Path National Trail and a short walk to local amenities, cafes and the parish church. Goring mainline station is nearby for regular services to Reading and London, making the cottage practical for commuting. The property is sold freehold and chain free, simplifying purchase.
Be aware of some practical limitations. The house is an older, solid-brick build (1852) likely without cavity insulation; walls are assumed uninsulated, and the EPC is D. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The garden and plot are small, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk area, which may affect insurance and suitability for some buyers.
Overall this cottage offers attractive period character and recent essential upgrades in a highly desirable, affluent village setting. It suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, well-presented single-bedroom home close to nature and amenities, prepared to accept small outdoor space and to manage the property’s age-related considerations.
