The River House – Avon Valley

Stonehenge

South West England, Wiltshire

Set in the peaceful Avon Valley near Stonehenge, Riverside House offers an idyllic retreat for families and multi-generational holidays. Surrounded by nearly two acres of gardens, woodland, and wildflower meadow, this beautiful riverside property provides a truly tranquil setting.

The river flows through the garden, offering fly fishing (May–September) and wonderful wildlife spotting from the veranda — look out for swans, herons, kingfishers, deer, otters, and more. There’s also a woodland walk and a small hide for watching badgers and foxes. A long, private driveway provides secure parking for up to six cars.

Inside, the house is all on one level for easy access. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, and ample dining space, while the utility room includes a fridge/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. The sunroom leads to a dining room overlooking the gardens, and the spacious sitting room features comfortable seating, a large library, and a study area.

The accommodation includes a master bedroom with a four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom, dressing room, and kitchenette; a super-king-size room; a king-size room; and a twin room with en-suite shower. All bedrooms offer generous storage, and there’s also a family bathroom with bath, WC, and basin.

Outside, relax beside the pond or enjoy al fresco dining on the covered veranda with the gas barbecue (gas provided). Nearby, the villages of Hackthorne and Durrington offer shops and dining, including the renowned Dog and Gun pub.

The property is ideally located just 10 minutes from Stonehenge and 20 minutes from Salisbury Cathedral, with easy access to Winchester, Longleat, and Bath — each offering rich history and unique attractions. Riverside House is a charming year-round destination, perfect for peaceful countryside breaks.
