A rarely available riverside amenity plot with approximately 60ft direct river frontage, having extensive timber reinforced shuttering along the bank together with a small slipway, and a delightful octagonal Summerhouse with electricity and adjoining privy. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this wonderful riverside property. SITUATION Situated between Reading and Oxford on the borders of 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 by the ancient Ridgeway Path where the Chiltern Hills and the Berkshire Downlands meet. 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, banks, library, modern health centre, dentist, several traditional inns and restaurants, hotel, churches of several denominations and an excellent primary school with a wide range of private and state schools in the local area. Importantly the village 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. 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 across to Goring is The Swan, a luxury, four-star, riverside hotel renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure facilities.

3 Bridleway is as the name implies a bridle footpath leading out of Goring on Thames at the end of Cleeve Road, at the junction with Mill Road, continuing along the top of the high slope overlooking The River Thames where it eventually reaches the Rossini s at the Leatherne Bottel. Situated along this stretch of River on the Eastern bank there are a number of individual leisure plots of differing size. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION From the bridleway, a metal pedestrian gate opens on to a stepped winding pathway which leads down the initially steep and heavily planted bank. The main level lawned plot is approximately 70 ft in depth, and leads down to the river itself, with wonderful views afforded. The plot affords direct frontage to The River Thames of approximately 60 ft, with the bank being reinforced and timbered along the main frontage, whilst off to one side there is a wide slipway for smaller boats / dinghies. Highly unusual for this stunning stretch of The River Thames, the plot also benefits from having a raised octagonal Summerhouse, with electricity, and an adjoining chemical privy. Beautifully mature, there are many specimen trees and shrubs of note providing a private setting, whilst glorious westward facing views over the river Thames and Berkshire Downs beyond provide an idyllic backdrop with stunning sunsets being offered in abundance as well as much riverside wildlife. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the wonders of this idyllic plot.
