About
Price Range: £400,000 - £425,000. Occupying a prime position on the level part of the ever-popular village of River, Rosaline Villa is a home with a story to tell.
Originally built by a Dutch gentleman as one of two homes for his daughters, Rosaline and Margaret, this distinctive property has been thoughtfully transformed into an exceptional family home, blending its fascinating history with stylish modern living.
At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen/dining/family room.
Recently remodelled with a beautiful integrated kitchen installed just 18 months ago, the former dining room and kitchen have been opened up to create one impressive entertaining space, perfectly designed for modern family life.
The separate lounge provides a cosy retreat with a newly fitted log burner, while an inscription beneath the staircase serves as a remarkable reminder of the home's past, noting how the staircase provided shelter during the Kearsney bombings of the Second World War.
One of the property's standout features is the versatile ground floor extension, offering a generous fourth double bedroom with an adjoining wet room & bath tub, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or anyone seeking accessible accommodation.
Upstairs, you'll find three further double bedrooms, all beautifully presented, alongside a contemporary family shower room, creating ample space for a growing family.
Outside, the property continues to impress with driveway parking to the front and a low maintenance rear garden.
A detached garden cabin provides fantastic flexibility, whether you're looking for a home office, beauty room, gym, studio or hobby space. The location is equally appealing.
Positioned on the flatter side of River, everyday amenities are all within an easy stroll, including the village Co-op, highly regarded schools, recreation park and picturesque walks through Kearsney, making this a home that offers both convenience and an outstanding lifestyle.
A home rich in history yet completely ready for modern living, Rosaline Villa is a rare opportunity to own a truly individual property in one of River's most sought-after locations.
