Converted barn with separate flats

PIPS Barn is on the southern edge of Goring, a 10-minute walk from the station and within easy reach of the village’s shops, primary school and amenities.

Converted in 2014 from an open Dutch barn, it now provides 5,231 sq ft of accommodation, including the main house, a double garage with two self-contained flats and further outbuildings, all arranged within wraparound landscaped gardens.

The main house is entered through a large reception/dining hall with full-height glazing and stone flooring with underfloor heating. There’s a central galleried hall with two storage cupboards and an oak staircase to connect all principal rooms.

The kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear, fitted with handmade units, granite worktops, an island and an in-built larder. It is supported by a utility room, boot room and an adjoining family room. The sitting room, at the front of the property, faces the garden and features exposed brick detailing, ceiling beams, bi-fold doors and in-built shutters.

Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor — one a full bedroom suite with its own shower room. The other can be used flexibly as either a fifth bedroom or study.

Upstairs, the main suite includes two walk-in wardrobes, an en suite shower room and large Velux windows with integrated blinds, offering views to the Chilterns.

Two further bedroom suites each include an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. Eaves storage runs along the length of the first floor.

The detached double garage has two electric doors and contains two additional self-contained living spaces. Externally accessed by a wrought-iron staircase, the first floor holds a studio flat with kitchen/sitting area and a shower room. Below, the lower ground floor accommodates a one-bedroom flat with a kitchen/sitting room, separate bedroom and shower room.

The property’s grounds are extensive and arranged for practical use. The electric gated entrance opens on to a large driveway with parking for several cars.

The front garden is chiefly lawn, centred around a sizeable pond and a copse of silver birch trees. A summerhouse sits nearby, equipped with a cloakroom and utility space.

The broad south-facing terrace spans the rear of the house, with raised beds planted with shrubs and trees. Further along is a second lawned area, as well as a hard-standing area positioned before a set of additional double gates for extra vehicle storage.

A detached workshop and an adjoining storeroom with utility space complete the external facilities.

Goring is one of the area’s most desirable villages, set within the Goring Gap and the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers direct rail services to London Paddington in under an hour. The location combines easy access to countryside walks with proximity to Reading, Oxford, Newbury, the M4 and M40.

Goring’s high street offers a range of independent shops, highly regarded cafés/bistros, pubs, restaurants and essential services including a doctor and dental surgery. The River Thames is also only a short walk away, together with its riverside paths towards Streatley, Pangbourne and beyond.
