Description

Heron Cottage is a detached chalet-style home that presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled on a spacious corner plot, this property offers ample potential for extension or reconfiguration, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The house features three bedrooms, including two spacious double rooms with built-in wardrobes and a well-proportioned single bedroom. The layout includes a welcoming entrance lobby leading into an inviting hall with an under-stairs storage cupboard. The dining room overlooks the front of the property, while the centrally located kitchen offers access to a sunroom that extends across the rear of the home, complete with a cloakroom and additional storage space. The sitting room benefits from a bright triple aspect and French doors that open directly to the garden, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The outdoor space is equally impressive. The mature wraparound garden is complemented by several seating areas and established trees and shrubs along its boundaries. Accessed through a gated driveway, there is generous parking available alongside an attached garage with both front and rear access. Located in Goring-on-Thames, this property is well-positioned within a thriving community known for its picturesque setting along the River Thames. The village boasts essential amenities such as local shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. A mainline railway station within walking distance connects residents to London Paddington in under an hour—a significant advantage for commuters. Goring's reputation as 'Oxfordshire Village of the Year' speaks to its appeal as both a residential area and an investment locale. The surrounding region is designated as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,’ enhancing its desirability further. Additionally, excellent educational institutions are readily accessible for families seeking quality schooling options. With recent improvements including UPVC windows and updates to roofing elements, Heron Cottage stands as a sound base from which to explore its full potential in terms of renovation or expansion. This property invites those looking for a project that promises not only immediate comfort but also long-term value in one of Oxfordshire’s most charming villages.
