Fronting onto the river by the bridge crossing over to Goring is the luxury 4 star riverside hotel the Swan renowned for its fine cuisine and leisure and fitness facilities.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Believed to date originally from 1903, Riseholme is an impressive detached property, having been sympathetically enlarged to provide a spacious family home, with all the benefits of contemporary open plan living combined with characterful features of the Edwardian era. On the ground floor the front door opens into a central Entrance Hall, off which is a Study, large Sitting Room/Family Room, running the depth of the house and having a wood burning stove to the front area, and garden doors to the rear, and a very spacious open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, with modern fitted kitchen with island, granite worktops and Oak flooring to the dining and sitting area. Bi-folding doors lead onto the garden, providing lots of natural light, and opening up the space further for entertaining in the Summer months. Off the Kitchen is a separate Utility Room and Cloakroom. Upstairs all leading off a central landing are the Master with En-Suite Shower Room, three further Double s and a Family Bathroom. OUTSIDE The house stands well back in an elevated position, sitting within a mature plot of over 1/4 of an Acre. A private brick paviour driveway provides ample off road parking space for numerous cars, flanked by hedged boundaries and a delightful lawned front garden with attractive terraced beds and borders leading up to the front door. To the left hand side is a useful entrance to the utility room, and to the right, a storage shed which provides access through to the rear. Across the rear of the house, a wide set of 5 bi-folding doors open onto a lovely paved patio courtyard with brick and flint walls, providing the perfect spot for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Steps lead up to a lawned area ideal for family games, then gradually rising to the rear, where there is a small orchard of fruit trees. Part way up the garden is a further brick paved circular patio, taking advantage of the sun throughout the day. To the opposite side is a vegetable garden and green house enclosed by a low picket fence, a large timber workshop (with power and lighting) and potting shed.
