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, Boutique 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 crossing over to Goring is the luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities.

4 Valley Close comprises a mixture of different houses, all detached, with those at the top of the cul-de-sac being built at a later date in a Cottage style having the advantage of a more elevated position. Having no through traffic the Close is consequently quieter and ideally placed for ease of access into the central part of the village. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION 9 Valley Close was built in the early 1970 s, and has been considerably updated and improved over recent years, having a contemporary yet traditional feel. A recessed front porch leads into the spacious entrance hall & cloakroom, a sitting room with bay window, fireplace and double doors leading out to the conservatory. The modern kitchen/breakfast room with fitted Neff equipment overlooks the garden and the separate dining room has double doors leading out. Upstairs offers four generous double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, one en-suite and a family bathroom. Tastefully decorated and well presented, with the benefit of UPVc primary double-glazing throughout, it is an ideal family home in a peaceful and private location. Sold with no onward chain. OUTSIDE A wide brick paved entrance drive provides ample private parking. Fronting onto the drive is an integral double Garage having electrically controlled up and over entrance door, fitted light and power, and integral door into the main house. Across the frontage there are mature shrubs and borders behind containing a variety of herbaceous plants. There is access at the side of the house through a tall pedestrian gate with a decked passageway leading to the rear. The rear garden has a depth of approximately 60ft and has been most attractively planted and cultivated with many specimen plants, trees and shrubs including a feature stream as well as the micro-jet automatic sprinkler watering system. There are various decked seating areas perfect for Al-fresco dining including a wide terrace directly across the rear of the house. The mature shrubs in particular provide a colourful and secluded setting. At the bottom of the garden tucked away in the corner is a timber garden shed, and to the opposite corner a screened decked area providing an ideal position for a home-office or gym.
