Brickyard Lane, Drakes Broughton, WR10

Having been transformed almost beyond recognition by the current owners, Rivington House is an exceptional detached family home offering almost 3,800 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation, including a substantial detached garage complex, all set within approximately half an acre of south-facing gardens.

Completed in 2021 following an extensive programme of enlargement and renovation, every element of the property has been carefully considered. The result is a home that combines timeless design with modern family living, finished to an exceptional standard throughout.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch, complete with built-in seating, before opening into an impressive reception hall where a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazed atrium and feature staircase immediately set the tone for the quality found throughout the home.

To one side sits a beautifully proportioned triple-aspect sitting room, centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoying direct access onto the gardens. At the heart of the house is a versatile family reception room, currently arranged as a playroom, with sliding doors opening onto the south-facing terrace.

The true centrepiece, however, is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this outstanding space is flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing and bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the house with the garden beyond. The bespoke kitchen features an extensive range of quality cabinetry, hardwood worktops, integrated appliances, a large central island and a cleverly concealed walk-in pantry housing the American-style fridge freezer. A separate utility room and adjoining plant room provide the practical space every busy family requires.

Also on the ground floor is a contemporary shower room, making the layout ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

The first floor continues to impress. Five generously proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing, with two benefiting from luxurious en-suite shower rooms. The remaining bedrooms are served by an equally well-appointed family bathroom.

The principal suite is particularly special, featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a private balcony overlooking the gardens and an exceptional four-piece en-suite complete with a freestanding roll-top bath positioned beneath a roof light, a large walk-in shower, premium fittings throughout and accompanied by a dressing room.

Outside, Rivington House enjoys a plot approaching half an acre. The extensive gravel driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a substantial detached garage building incorporating two large garage bays, an impressive workshop and a fully finished office or gym, offering tremendous flexibility for home working, hobbies or additional recreational space.

To the rear, the south-facing gardens are beautifully established and predominantly laid to lawn, framed by mature trees and hedging to provide an excellent degree of privacy. A generous paved terrace creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with uninterrupted views across the gardens from the principal living spaces.
