River House is a substantial village house, located in the heart of Elstead. The house dates back to Georgian or earlier origins, built of brick and bargate stone and extended notably during the Victorian era with tile hung elevations under a clay tiled roof.

Leading off the generous sized entrance hall, with it's oak floor, are the principal reception rooms each with fireplaces, casement window shutters and French doors off the drawing room into the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house with bespoke Shaker styled kitchen units from Aspect kitchens and gas Aga.

The main staircase leads up to a substantial landing on the first floor with six bedrooms and a total of three bath/shower rooms, as well as a separate staircase.

River House is a wonderful example of a family orientated village house, set in private mature gardens. There are two garden sheds and a sun house.

River House is approached through an impressive pillared entrance into a gravel driveway with ample parking behind a bargate stone wall. A gate leads through a beech hedge to the main garden with manicured lawn, flanked by shrub and herbaceous borders. The garden is walled making it child and dog friendly and is stocked with mature specimen trees, limes and yew hedging providing a wonderful degree of privacy.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
