VENDORS COMMENT
The property consists of a Victorian Lantern Laundry built by The Morrell family in 1896, at the end of a row of period cottages which housed the Morrell Estates senior staff. The other half of the property is a cottage dating 1784 in which the head laundry woman lived. Chapter three in Jerome K Jeromes Three men in a boat is devoted to a visit to the laundry woman of Streatley.
We have restored the property with what you we hope you will agree are the very best in achieving a fusion of high quality contemporary fixtures and fittings with a period twist whilst retaining its heritage.
The property adjoins the Heart of Streatley Jubilee fields and wood preserved in trust with beautiful walks taking you towards the river. Five minutes across the bridge takes you into Goring and the railway station beyond.
