A stunning riverside retreat offering an unparalleled lifestyle of luxury, space, and sophistication – Riverside Manor combines breathtaking design with an idyllic natural setting on the River Beult.

The stunning reception hall sets the tone for the entire house, with its exposed brickwork, porcelain floor tiles, double height ceiling and steel and timber staircase rising to the galleried first-floor landing. Double doors open to the 32ft dual aspect sitting room with a part-vaulted ceiling and double-height windows welcoming plenty of natural light. There is warm wooden flooring and a wood-burning stove, as well as attractive exposed brickwork. The dual aspect drawing room provides further space in which to relax, with bi-fold doors opening onto the rear gardens.

There is also an office for home working, a purpose-built gym with sauna and shower, and a fully equipped cinema room with split-level seating, a projector, integrated sound and stunning lighting design.

The large social kitchen and dining area is ideal for entertaining, with ample space for both a seating area and a large dining table, and has sliding glass doors connecting to the garden. The kitchen itself has Shaker-style units, a central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances.

The galleried first floor landing provides access to the six well-presented, generous double bedrooms, including the opulent principal bedroom with its Juliet balcony, dressing room and luxury en suite bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath, dual wash basins and a walk-in shower. Four further bedrooms are en suite, including one with its own dressing room. The first floor also has a large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate shower.

A unique feature of the property is the first floor “hammock room”, with its netted floor suspended across a void over the dining area, which is ideal for relaxing and play.

At the entrance to the property, security gates open onto the driveway, which provides plenty of parking space and gives access to the detached garaging block for further parking and storage.

The extensive garden includes a patio across the front of the house with a sunny southwest-facing aspect, and a further peaceful patio at the rear. Lawns wrap around the house from front to rear, extending approximately 600ft from north to south and bordering woodland and the River Beult to the eastern boundary. The garden also includes a pond and two sunken, ground-level trampolines.
