We love
With so many elements to choose from, here are just a few of our favourites features from Riverside • Equestrian Lifestyle A rare find, the property can work seamlessly alongside the equestrian facilities, or as two completely separate entities, with individual road access to each. • The Kitchen – from the parquet flooring to the vaulted ceiling, with an island unit and streamlined minimalist white-wash finish….this on trend kitchen has every box ticked for your dream kitchen. • Entertaining Space – whether hosting friends or space for the kids, the 23ft living room is supplemented by a more casual sitting room and sunroom, as well as a separate dining room and home office – so you’ll never be short of space. • Light – we never underestimate the impact natural light has on a home and its occupants, and with a south facing plot the levels of light are a revelation carefully designed to make the most of the location. Whether garden gazing or contemplation Windows at dual angles give the space a bright contemporary feel; with the astragal panes ensuring it is in-keeping with the country feel location. • Finish – high spec throughout, there is no cutting corners on the design elements or fittings, and the house feels luxurious as a result with an striking yet welcoming feel. • Room to Roam – 11 acres invites a whole lot of possibilities, whether that be to develop the equestrian and livery facilities or exploring further options, with the relevant permission understandable….the sky is the limit!
