Location
Situated between Reading and Oxford on the border with Oxfordshire and Berkshire lies the picturesque
village of Goring on Thames, nestling on the bank of the river opposite the village of Streatley in the
‘Goring Gap’, an historic crossing point of the Thames where the ancient Ridgeway Path comes down
from the Berkshire Downlands to meet the river and the Chiltern Hills and then continuing eventually on
to the Icknield Way into East Anglia. The surrounding countryside is designated an “Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty” and the centres of both Goring and Streatley are now ‘Conservation Areas’,
thus preserving the many notable period properties, some of which date back to the 15th and 16th
centuries.
Goring offers a good range of amenities, including shops, bank, library, modern health centre, dentist,
several traditional inns and restaurants, Boutique hotel, churches of several denominations and an
excellent primary school with a wide range of private and state schools in the immediate local area.
Importantly in 1840 Isambard Kingdom Brunel brought the Great Western Railway through the Thames
Valley with this historic line having 2 architecturally stunning Viaducts spanning the River either side of
the Village .The village now boasts a mainline railway station which provides excellent commuter
services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour. There are also good road communications to
the surrounding towns and both the M4 and M40 motorway networks.
In 2009 Goring was awarded a prestigious “Best Village” accolade for the South of
England.
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 into Goring is the luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and
leisure and fitness facilities. Steatley also has a long established and renowned Golf Course.

Brewery Cottages which fronts onto the High Street and Cleeve Road comprises 3 Cottages of differing
size and arrangement and originally formed part of an historic Brewery Complex establishment in the
1800’s although it is believed the actual dating of the Cottages is earlier.
Constructed in a traditional style with appealing red brick elevations having decorative detailing, with
knapped flint work to No 1 being the oldest, under clay tile pitched gabled and hipped roofs.
In 2006 the Cottages were sympathetically renovated and restored with a new 2 storey rear wing added
to No 3. Comprehensively and tasteful refurbishment was undertaken complimenting the original
character style with a pleasing modern influence which will be evident on inspection.
