House For Sale £1,250,000
A compact and manageable country estate set in a delightful village location with wonderful views and extensive grounds of circa 2.92 acres.
Location
Parsonage Heys is well situated in the North Somerset countryside. Communications are excellent with a railway station at Nailsea & Backwell (7 miles) linking to Bristol Parkway (14 miles), Bristol Temple Meads (11.5 miles) and Bristol Airport (12 miles). There are some excellent schools in the area and local Shopping can be found in Portishead, and Clevedon with more extensive shopping available at Cribbs Causeway and Cabot Circus.
Description
Parsonage Heys is tucked away at the head of a long gated driveway and from its commanding position enjoys the most delightful views stretching far beyond its adjacent fields to village rooftops and the wooded hillsides beyond. It is certainly rare to find such a manageable size home coupled with such generous grounds that extend to some 2.92 acres, currently subdivided into a series of paddocks and used by the current owners for the grazing of sheep and horses. It is amazing to consider that the property is such a short drive from Bristol and the motorway network yet the country lifestyle that it offers is often associated with properties in the depth of Somerset with none of the convenience that this home offers. Walton in Gordano is a pretty historic village nestling in the valley set between the popular coastal towns of Portishead and Clevedon, both of which offer a full and comprehensive range of supermarkets, local shops and well respected schooling.
At the top of the driveway and adjacent to the house sits the stabling and garage building with hay and feed store to one side and there is a further field shelter with water supply in the first lower paddock. A delightful shepherds hut is perched on the higher ground adjacent to the floodlit manege. A fenced hard-core track has been laid from the driveway to extend to the upper paddocks which are bordered by mature woodland and offer a wonderful sense of calm and seclusion. The shepherds hut is beautifully furnished, exuding character and charm with painted floorboards, a rustic style wood burning stove, fitted kitchen area and a raised double bed. Certainly this offers terrific potential for those seeking to generate income from Airbnb or offer friends and family a fun and memorable place to come and stay. Immediately surrounding the house is a sizable and newly created raised deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining and a smart paved pathway wraps around the front and side of the property above colourful well planted rockery with lower borders and an area of lawn that has been fully enclosed as safe area for young children. Above this, the owners have created a raised viewing terrace which enjoys dapple shade from surrounding trees with a stone built barbeque area at one end. Truly well thought out and delightful garden designed to make the very most of the captivating views and offering great appeal to both adults and children alike.
Believed to date to 1890, the house has an interesting history having been used at one time as a Rose and Orchid nursery, evidenced by the remains of the formal stone and glasshouse on the upper most boundary. It is worth noting that the owners have considered the possibility of renovating and utilising the footprint of this building but whilst no planning has been pursued, there is a consent for an agricultural barn to be built to the side of the outdoor riding school if so desired.
The house is approached by three gentle stone steps that lead to a lovely terrazzo tiled hallway with a large study/snug to one side and opposite the principal sitting room. Formally arranged as two receptions but now opened with a pair of marble fireplaces, one with inset wood burning stove. More rooms to the front of the property enjoy the wonderful far reaching views. A door from the rear of the sitting room opens to the decking and garden. Set off the inner hallway is a well appointed family bathroom with useful under stair storage cupboard and the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with Falcon range and five burner induction hob. The kitchen is fitted in blue and grey built in storage cabinets with Belfast style sink and granite work surfaces. The conservatory to the rear was added in 2011 which leads to a larger than average laundry room housing the oil fired central heating boiler. At first floor, set off large and bright landing, there are four good sized bedrooms and a large bathroom with generous walk in shower. Given the high pitch of the roof, there is plenty of potential to create further bedroom/bathroom space in the attic if needed.
