The ultimate retreat, a significant slice of Riverside, this remarkable property provides some 27 acres/11ha (110,900 sqm) in a setting that brings the county to town – and vice versa!
Entered from a quiet cul-de-sac, bordered by Riverside Golf Club, featuring its own river frontage, the opportunity to combine the best of both worlds is complemented by an original c1966 residence that’s rich in retro character.
A huge central drawing room that catches the northern light leads to separate, similarly bright family room/meals spaces accompanied by an open-plan kitchen where granite benches and European appliances reflect the quality of a previous update.
The mood swings brilliantly back to the 60s in an evocative rumpus/games room with a bar that’s a perfect product of its era while an accommodation wing comprising six classic bedrooms includes a massive, majestic main bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite.
Two further bathrooms complete a home that was clearly impressive when it was commissioned, and has become an even more captivating period design with the passage of time – it matches proportions to personality in a manner that’s entirely tempting.
Sunny outdoor areas, a double garage with a work-shop, endless additional parking and a home paddock with a stock yard surround the residence before the land reaches out across the east to the Tamar.
Riverside Primary School and Riverside High School are conveniently close, moments from Tailrace Park, merely minutes to the city centre – yet evidently, irresistibly in an environment all of its own!
