“Riverdale where timeless riverside living meets modern luxury, offering just over half an acre of private sanctuary, exceptional five-bedroom accommodation, and effortless indoor-outdoor living in a truly idyllic setting.”

Welcome To Riverdale

Lovingly cared for and beautifully evolved over more than 30 years, Riverdale is far more than a home, it is a lifestyle. Thoughtfully extended and impeccably enhanced, it now offers a turnkey five bedroom residence complemented by a attached annex, ideal for guests, extended family, or flexible living arrangements.

Inside, the home has been designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. A spacious entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a series of beautifully connected reception spaces. The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, finished to an exceptional standard with a granite island, high-specification integrated appliances, and folding doors that open seamlessly onto the patio. A separate utility room adds practicality, while adjoining spaces include a light-filled conservatory and a generous reception room, offering versatility for dining, relaxing, or working from home. The living room provides a warm and inviting retreat, with dual-aspect windows, a feature log burner, and direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned double bedrooms provide outstanding accommodation, including a luxurious principal suite with walk-through wardrobe, countryside views, and a beautifully appointed en-suite. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor, combining contemporary design with everyday comfort.

Externally, Riverdale sits within just over half an acre of private, landscaped gardens, creating a truly special sense of space and seclusion. Mature grounds, expansive lawns, and thoughtfully designed outdoor areas offer the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. A recently installed outdoor kitchen enhances the summer lifestyle, ideal for barbecues and gatherings, while the surrounding gardens provide a peaceful backdrop of nature and privacy, with the gentle sound of the nearby river completing the scene.

Set in a tranquil yet highly convenient location, Riverdale enjoys easy access to nearby market towns, excellent transport links, and the surrounding mid-Wales countryside. It offers the rare combination of rural seclusion and everyday convenience, with scenic landscapes, strong community connections, and excellent connectivity all within easy reach.

A home designed not just to live in but to truly enjoy.

Inside The Home

Stepping into the home, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall with two useful storage cupboards and a downstairs WC complete with a wash basin and heated towel rail. To the left is a generous reception room, currently arranged as a formal dining space, offering an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. This flows naturally into the conservatory, a peaceful, light-filled retreat overlooking the garden, with access to a charming seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the morning sun. Versatile in design, this space could equally serve as a snug, home office, or playroom.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen, thoughtfully designed to combine style with everyday practicality. Fitted with an integrated fridge freezer, sink and drainer, Neff induction hob, integrated oven, and microwave, the space is both functional and elegant. A striking granite island with breakfast bar creates the perfect hub for casual dining and entertaining, while the generous layout also allows space for relaxed seating or family dining. Folding doors open seamlessly onto the patio, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Outside, a recently installed garden kitchen provides the ideal setting for summer entertaining, complemented by the convenience of a separate utility room complete with a sink and drainer, a range of base units, and space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Leading through from the kitchen is the living room, a warm and inviting space filled with natural light from dual-aspect windows and designed for both comfort and relaxation. A feature fireplace with log burner creates a cosy focal point for winter evenings, while sliding doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting the interior with the garden during the warmer months.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor, which offers five beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, providing exceptional accommodation for family and guests alike. The luxurious principal suite features a walk-through wardrobe, dual-aspect windows overlooking the surrounding countryside, and an elegant en-suite bathroom complete with a shower cubicle, bath, Jack and Jill wash basins, WC, and heated towel rail, creating a calm and private retreat.

The remaining four bedrooms are all finished to a high standard, offering comfort, style, and flexibility. Completing the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom with a freestanding bath, spacious walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin, combining practicality with contemporary luxury.

Gardens & Grounds

The gated driveway provides ample parking and enhances the sense of privacy.

 Further along the driveway, a detached double garage provides additional storage and practicality.

Set within approximately an acre, the gardens at Riverdale have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of every moment of the day, and to suit almost every lifestyle.

For the social host, summer days are made effortless, an outdoor kitchen provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends, while children play freely on the expansive lawn and paddle in the gentle river beyond.

For those seeking a slower pace of life, mornings can be enjoyed in the soft light from the coffee terrace, and evenings spent watching the sun set from the gin bar deck with a glass of wine in hand. All the while, the soothing sound of the river flows nearby, with kingfishers and local wildlife bringing a sense of everyday magic.

With private fishing rights included, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy true riverside living at its very best.

Garage/Annexe:

An attached garage is currently used as a home gym but offers excellent flexibility whether as a workshop, storage space, or for classic cars. It also includes fitted base units, a sink, and space for laundry appliances.

Above, this space has been converted into a self-contained annex, complete with a bedroom and ensuite shower room ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, a home business, or even potential rental income.

An Insight to Life

Driving towards Felindre from Berriew, the views were amazing, the countryside was a very calming and welcome change from the manic-ness of the city. We were relocating so it was a lifestyle choice for us both – as far away from the madding crowd as we could be - but with shops, schools, pubs and good transport links nearby. This was our future home and it felt right from day one.

The tranquillity instantly energises your soul, it’s like another world – and breathe. Riverdale is a beautiful house in a wonderful setting. Even working from home doesn’t feel like work.

In thirty years, we have never tired of the magic of Riverdale. From the morning light flooding in to the kitchen, to the spectacular sunsets down by the river from the “Lodge”. There are areas around the garden to enjoy morning coffee, relaxing lunches, delicious dinner and barbeques with friends and a glass of wine on the decking watching the sunset. You might just catch the kingfisher on its journey up and down the river.

There is a village tea rooms supplying wonderful coffee, cakes and lunches. The two pubs organise speciality evenings and music events. The village shop stocks essential supplies including fresh bread and milk. The Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture is a quirky, colourful hidden gem.

When we finished our first renovation and our children were born shortly after, we knew then that this was going to be a wonderful place for our family. It has been a truly magical time in our lives.

This chapter of our life has been amazing. Riverdale is not just a home it is an outstanding property, set in a rural location, within easy access of shops, schools, transport etc. with strong community connections.

Our overriding memories will be ones of love and happiness, all the special times we have shared with family and friends, and also a sense of pride in what we have achieved.
