Cleeve Court is a rare example of a private Mid Century Modern development in a stunning parkland setting beside the River Thames. Completed in 1972, it was designed by Oxford Architects Partnership and is located in the historic Berkshire village of Streatley-on-Thames.

This three / four bedroom terraced house has wonderful river views from the living room and a first floor terrace from which to look out onto the picturesque surroundings. It also comes with a 30ft mooring in a private inlet.

The double-height living room features some wonderful original brick and timber detailing – most notably the hearth and built-in bench. There is also a bedroom / study on this floor and, on a split level, a shower room.

Above the living room is a mezzanine area that has access into a kitchen / breakfast room. There is a further room on this floor that could be used as a dining room or another bedroom. On the lower ground floor are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Cleeve Court is a private development of just eleven houses set in beautiful communal gardens of approximately ten acres, with residents being a mixture of second home owners and people who live there as their primary home.

It is reached via a long private road through fields. Surrounded by water meadows and farmland, it is a very peaceful and verdant setting. There is an exclusive river inlet and lagoon with 30 ft private moorings and slipway.

The property comes with its own garage and a designated parking space. There is also plenty of parking space available in the visitor car park at Cleeve Court.

The village of Streatley is a five minute walk away, via the pretty Thames Path. Streatley is a small Berkshire village with a well-regarded hotel and cafe on the river (the Swan) which also has a gym, a local pub and primary school.

Just across the bridge is the larger village of Goring which has a wider range pubs and restaurants (notably Pierreponts), a fantastic hotel (The Miller of Mansfield), Post Office and other facilities.

Streatley is in the catchment area for the much acclaimed Downs secondary school in Compton.

Streatley and Goring are among Britain’s most scenic villages, thanks to their historic architecture and riverside setting and enjoy Conservation Area status. The surrounding countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Aside from boating on the Thames, and walks along the Thames Path, the nearby Chiltern Hills also provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor leisure activities.

Goring & Streatley railway station is a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from Cleeve Court and runs services to London Paddington in 60 mins and Oxford in 40 mins.

The property has a 999 year lease originating in 1972 with an annual ground rent of £100. Recent maintenance charges amount to an average of £2,427 per year.
