RL0918 - Set within the highly regarded village of Sutton upon Derwent, Riverview House is a substantial detached family home offering generous accommodation, a large established garden and open countryside immediately beyond.

Owned by the same family since 1992, the property has clearly been a much-loved home for many years. Its real appeal lies in the combination of scale, privacy, setting and potential — giving the next owner the opportunity to enjoy what is already here while also considering how the house could be taken to another level.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into a large central hallway, immediately giving a sense of the proportions found throughout the property. The lounge is a particularly generous room, centred around an exposed-brick inglenook fireplace with feature gas stove. Double doors open directly into the conservatory, helping create an easy connection between the principal living areas and the garden.
Across the hallway, the separate dining room is also an excellent size and again opens through double doors into the conservatory. This creates a natural flow between the lounge, dining room and garden-facing conservatory, with further double doors leading outside.
The kitchen has been upgraded more recently and is bright, welcoming and finished to a high standard. A part-vaulted ceiling with Velux rooflight enhances the feeling of light and space, while the adjoining breakfast area provides useful everyday dining space.
There is also exciting scope to reimagine this part of the house. Subject to the necessary permissions and structural considerations, the existing footprint offers the potential to create a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed to take full advantage of the garden and countryside outlook.
Further ground-floor accommodation includes a separate study, utility room and WC, while the integral double garage and adjoining workshop provide valuable parking, storage and hobby space.

Upstairs are four proper double bedrooms. Bedroom one is particularly impressive, with its own en-suite facilities and French doors opening directly onto a large roof terrace overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. An external staircase also connects the terrace directly with the garden, creating a wonderful relationship between the bedroom and outdoor space. Bedroom two also benefits from en-suite facilities, while bedrooms three and four are served by a modern family shower room.

Outside is where Riverview House really distinguishes itself. The large mature garden offers extensive lawns, established trees, privacy and plenty of space for families, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the surroundings. Beyond the garden lies open countryside, creating a wonderfully spacious outlook and helping deliver some particularly impressive sunsets.

The setting feels peaceful and rural, yet Sutton upon Derwent remains well placed for York, approximately eight miles away. The village itself has a strong sense of community, with a primary school, tennis club, the well-known St Vincent Arms and excellent local walks through Sutton Woods and towards the River Derwent.

Riverview House represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home with a generous plot, open views and genuine scope to create something exceptional in one of the area’s most sought-after village settings.
