Spacious 3-bed home with large corner garden and strong extension potential.
Detached three-bedroom house on a large corner plot with wraparound garden
Set on a generous corner plot in leafy Goring-on-Thames, Heron Cottage is a detached three-bedroom home with mature wraparound gardens and parking for several cars. The house extends to about 1,668 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and recent external maintenance to barge boards and soffits. Its location is a major draw — around a five-minute walk to Goring station and convenient for village amenities, river access and a strong choice of state and independent schools.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a sun room with cloakroom, a kitchen with larder and an attached garage. The principal bedroom and second bedroom both offer built-in wardrobes. The property is presented as a comfortable family home but also offers obvious scope: the wide corner plot creates clear potential to extend or redevelop, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions.
Buyers should note practical points plainly. The house has one family bathroom plus a separate cloakroom, which may be limiting for larger families unless altered. The building dates from 1965 so parts of the interior will suit updating depending on buyer taste. Council Tax is listed as high, and any extension or redevelopment would require planning approval. Heating and services are modern (double glazing; main heating listed as air source heat pump/underfloor electric), but buyers should verify specifics and service history during survey.
This property will suit families seeking a peaceful Thameside village location with garden and expansion potential, or purchasers wanting a spacious plot with redevelopment upside. It combines immediate liveability with a clear opportunity to add value through extension or modernization, subject to approvals.
