River House is situated at the end of West River Drive, Durham, Pictou County. The property is approached by a sweeping 400’ private drive and features unencumbered views and access to the West River. The house is approximately 2,700 sq.ft (250 sq.m).
Spread over 2 floors with the main living space being largely open plan, this gracious home features vaulted ceilings throughout, three sets of double sliding doors facing the West River and a sunroom with panoramic views. There is also a 16'x34' deck overlooking the river, which is accessible from the living room, sun room and master bedroom.
River House is the perfect spot to gather with family, friends or colleagues to relax and unwind, yet only a short drive to all the Pictou County towns – approximately 10 minutes to Pictou, 15 minutes to New Glasgow, Stellarton, Westville and Trenton and all of their neighbouring communities. Several beaches and provincial parks are less than a 15 minute drive away.
Also in the neighbouring towns are many shops and amenities, including theatre, cinema, many restaurants, coffee shops, various grocery stores and many large and independent shops.
The house sleeps up to 12 in total. There are 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and 1 on the lower ground. The ground floor sleeps 2 on 1 king sized bed, 2 on a queen sized bed, 2 in single beds; the 4th bedroom/living area is located in the lower ground and has 1 small double bed, 2 sets of bunkbeds, 2 single beds, and an open plan chillout area with a 55" TV and a ping pong/table tennis table, as well as 2 desk areas. The ground floor has 3 bathrooms (2 with bath/showers and 1 W/C).
Children are welcome and there is a playpen/travel cot and highchair available. There are a variety of books, games, movies and toys suitable for all ages, which you are welcome to use.

There is a 16’x34’ deck providing walk-out access from the living room, sun room and master bedroom.
The walk-out deck leads to steps down to a new resort-style heated swimming pool with stairs in and 40' bench to relax and enjoy the views of the river. Measuring a generous 20'x40', the pool has a shallow end for little ones, and the remaining length is 4.5' deep so perfect for swimming but also games and socialising. Surrounding the pool is a stylish non-slip patio, 12'x20' gazebo with seating area, fridge, sink and outdoor shower. The entire pool and patio area is secured by wire rope fencing to ensure uninterrupted views of the river with lockable gates and pool safety cover in the off-season for security.
In the living room, there is a large TV, 2 sofas and 2 big chairs, and 2 additional chairs that can be pulled over if required. Additional chairs can be moved around from within the house if required.

The stove has 5 burners with a built-in microwave above and there is a drip coffee maker as well as a Tassimo pod machine, French press coffee maker, kettle, toaster and blender available. The kitchen is fully stocked to make and serve even the most elaborate of meals with lots of glasses, crockery, cooking utensils and serving ware.
The kitchen is open-plan to the dining area which seats 10-12 and faces our panoramic sunroom which is perfect for early morning coffee, cocktails or atmospheric dinners. There is lots of seating for entertaining and a dining set on the deck for al fresco dining when the weather permits. More chairs are available if required.
Also on the ground floor is a side door leading into the guest bathroom with toilet and sink, and washer and vented tumble dryer.
The lower ground has been converted to an open plan living, recreational and sleeping space in order to accommodate larger groups, with a quiet and comfortable sleeping area and a chillout area with a 55" TV for a bit of down-time, or a lively game of table tennis.
