RIVERVIEW House is a Georgian residence of rare character, with extensive equestrian facilities and set on 15 acres of mature grounds.

This country home near Bandon offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home boasting period architectural beauty and plenty of potential.

The house itself extends to 348sqm (3,745sqft), with a wealth of original period features and scope for sympathetic restoration and modernisation.

In the care of the same family for three generations since 1946. This continuity of stewardship is reflected in the mature grounds and the preservation of the its character and charm.

The private and tranquil setting is just five minutes from Bandon, and the property combines rural seclusion with everyday convenience.

The approach is via a charming tree-lined avenue which reflects decades of devoted care. Stone piers with wrought-iron gates frame the entrance, creating an impression of grandeur.

The house is textbook Georgian architecture, with its slate roof, tall chimneys, and elegant timber sash windows—six-over-six panes on the upper level and grander nine-over-six panes below, each set on carved stone sills.

A fan-lit arched sash window illuminates the return staircase, while the front door is framed by a neo-Classical doorcase with fluted pilasters, sidelights, and a fanlight that fills the reception hall with natural light.

The entrance hall extends the length of the house and features original timber flooring and an elegant staircase.

The drawing room is flooded with light and offers garden views, while the dining room is equally spacious and ideal for entertaining. A second reception room offers flexibility as a study or informal sitting room.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the house and could be readily reimagined as a modern country kitchen-dining space. A south-facing conservatory captures the afternoon sun.

On the first floor, a wide landing leads to five bedrooms. To the rear lie several stone outbuildings, including stables with water and electricity, carriage houses and a grain store retaining its historic milling hopper.
