Description
Having been comprehensively renovated, extended, and reconfigured by our client, The River House has been transformed under their ownership into a sizable and beautifully presented family home.
The setting is superb, situated within a central village location with the backdrop of a delightful, structured garden surrounded by countryside. In particular, the house offers a good balance between living and bedroom space, featuring two good sized reception rooms, a modern open plan kitchen that is easily zoned, and a favourable ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms.
A welcoming reception hall leads to the generous, light filled formal sitting room with an impressive feature fireplace and media wall. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room, with bespoke cabinetry and complementary fixtures and fittings, provides ample storage and preparation space with integrated appliances, and break bar. The kitchen also features bi fold doors that overlook and open onto the south facing terrace and gardens beyond, creating the perfect spot to enjoy the views and ideal for al fresco entertaining. A utility room with direct access to the garden, along with a study/snug and a W.C., complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor comprises of four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with the principal bedroom enjoying the wonderful elevated outlook to the rear, with ample built in storage and a stylish en suite shower room.
River House enjoys a private driveway with parking for numerous vehicles and a sizeable and established garden with a number of seating areas from which to enjoy the splendid countryside scenery.
