House For Sale £1,300,000
Manor Farm is situated in a slightly elevated position, along a no through lane. The views of the Mendip Hills, including Crook Peak, are spectacular. Christon is a hamlet consisting mainly of cottages and period houses set against a backdrop of woodland. The property lies adjacent to the 12th century Grade I listed Church of St Mary.
Manor Farm is believed to date from the 16th century. The present owners have carried out a complete renovation retaining, or replacing features appropriate to its period. There are flagstone floors, window seat, beamed ceilings, moulded architraves, fireplaces and working window shutters.
The interior is beautifully presented and attractively decorated complementing the character of the house. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the well proportioned rooms, with a comfortable ceiling height, have a lovely outlook. Floors are laid either to flagstone, floorboards or stone.
A half glazed porch opens into the entrance hall giving access to the sitting and family room on either side. The sitting room has a fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. The family room has inglenook fireplace with stone fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. An archway leads into the study with a further inglenook with bread oven and a log burning stove. The rear hall gives access to the dining room with built in dresser, and the breakfast kitchen with oil fire Aga, a range of stainless steel units, an island unit, solid Ash worktops and a built in traditional style dresser and cupboard unit.
A rear conservatory style entrance with two stable doors and terracotta tile floor gives access to a cloakroom and utility room.
The first floor has an attractive split landing. The principal bedroom has an outlook to woodland. The adjacent well appointed contemporary bathroom has a deep soak bath, steam shower, concealed w.c., twin basins, Bamboo wood floor and marble walls. There are three further double bedrooms, all with lovely views, one having an en suite shower room. There is a further family bathroom.
The gardens lie principally to the south with wonderful views. Immediately in front of the house is a mainly walled formal Parterre style garden, and stone paved areas ideal for entertaining. In the corner of the garden is a pretty stone and tile garden store with slate roof. An open walk way in the southern boundary wall of the formal garden opens into a large expanse of lawn with inset flower beds. Mature trees including Sycamore, Horse Chestnut, and Walnut intersperse the lawn. There is lovely view of the church. Outside the west elevation overlooking the entrance courtyard, is an area laid to flagstone and brick design, with a magnificent Magnolia, and Wisteria.
Manor Farm is approached over a drive between the house and outbuildings and leads into a large courtyard with a generous parking area around which is grouped an excellent L-shape range of stone and tile buildings. They include an open store with part glazed roof and power and light, a classic garden room with terracotta tile floor and overhang, five stables and tack room, two bay open carport, open stores, and three bay open carport. A detached stone and tile double carport, with workshop, lies opposite. Beside, is a farm gate giving access to the land. Within in the land is a further three stable block, and a terrace with kitchen garden area behind the detached carport, takes advantage of the views.
The 180 degree views to the Mendip Hills and Crook Peak are stunning. The pasture land of about 9.42 acres lies to the south, north, and east of the house and outbuildings, and also has vehicular access from Banwell Road. A level fenced off area was once a manège. The land rises to a belt of woodland, including a bluebell wood, of about 1.5 acres.
