Description

Rarely does such a unique, historic property come to the market. Originally built as a barracks in the 1840's Riverview House stands proud, overlooking Avoca Village. After the barracks was closed circa 1930, the property then was given a second lease of life as a family home. The current owners fell in love with the rich history, charm and original features and have been sensitively renovating with a roof slate replacement, a full rewiring, a modern boiler, and a window overhaul, thus offering every bit of the character, history, and charm you might want from a period home, with all the costly upgrades complete. The main building offers 197sqm of bright and airy living space spread over two floors. Downstairs we have the living room and family room, offering space for relaxation or entertaining. A gorgeous modern shaker-style kitchen in cream and granite is completed with rustic fireplace and solid fuel stove to give a cosy atmosphere. Upstairs we have four spacious bedrooms and a home office. The home is bracketed on one side by a patio framed by raised beds and on the other, a tranquil garden filled with mature trees and even a chicken coop tucked away in the corner, as well as sheds for storage. Behind the main building the property also includes a further 111sqm of living space in the form of a two-bedroom cottage, with an open plan living/dining area, and its own kitchen and bathroom. There is also an outbuilding to the rear of the property that is currently set up as a commercial kitchen. With so much space and potential, this property offers so much more than your standard family home. Whether you're looking for multigenerational living space, a rental/ holiday let or indeed space to start your own cottage industry Riverview House is worth exploring! Situated in the charming village of Avoca, known for its picturesque landscapes and rich local heritage, Riverview House offers not just a beautiful home but also a sense of community. Whether you're exploring the village's shops and cafes including the world-famous Avoca Handweavers, enjoying the scenic surroundings, or taking part in local events, Avoca provides a peaceful yet vibrant setting to call home.
