A substantial village house in the heart of Elstead. The house dates back to Georgian or earlier, built of brick and bargate stone, and was notably extended during the Victorian era with tile-hung elevations under a clay-tiled roof. Leading off the generous-sized entrance hall, with its oak floor, are the principal reception rooms, each with a fireplace, casement window shutters, and French doors from the drawing room into the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house, with bespoke Shaker-style kitchen units from Aspect Kitchens and a gas Aga. The main staircase leads to a substantial landing on the first floor, with six bedrooms and a total of three bath/shower rooms, as well as a separate staircase. River House is a wonderful example of a family-oriented village house, set in private, mature gardens. There are two garden sheds and a sun house. River House is approached through an impressive pillared entrance into a gravel driveway, with ample parking behind a bargate stone wall. A gate leads through a beech hedge to the main garden, with a manicured lawn flanked by shrub and herbaceous borders. The garden is walled, making it child- and dog-friendly, and is stocked with mature specimen trees, limes, and yew hedging, providing a wonderful degree of privacy.
