High Street, Fovant, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP3

Imaginatively extended in recent years, Riversdale is a period house with green sandstone elevations with brick quoins and gables under a clay pantile and part slate roof. Over the years the property has been comprehensively refurbished and now offers both flexible and adaptable living space.

Attributes worthy of special mention include the south facing open plan sitting/dining room with French windows to the garden, a fitted bespoke kitchen with induction hob and granite worktops; in recent years Velux windows have been installed lightening up the internal space. Other points to note include the vaulted ceiling in the principal bedroom with French windows and Juliet balcony, Victorian fireplaces in the other bedrooms, a downstairs wet room, a recently replaced boiler and a direct pressure water system. The accommodation has good ceiling heights giving a feeling of light and space.

The property is accessed off the village street and has a brick set driveway with an oak framed double car port. A shingle path and stone steps lead down to the front door with rose bushes climbing the front elevation. The gardens are a particular feature of the property and comprise areas of lawn with shrub and herbaceous borders, and a variety of fruit trees including fig, olive, pear and apple. French windows from the sitting room open out onto a patio area, ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun, shaded by a pergola covered with impressive climbing roses. This opens onto the beautifully maintained garden, at the foot of which runs a small stream, eventually serving The Nadder.
