House For Sale £650,000
Stonecroft is an attractive substantially extended semi detached period cottage which is available on the open market for the first time in nearly 50 years. Originally part of the Popham Estate, the cottage has been sympathetically extended and provides spacious, versatile accommodation which is immaculately presented and ideal for a growing family. The property has attractive elevations of natural stone beneath a pitched tiled roof and is situated in a sought after rural location just off the A37 with easy access to the Chew Valley, the Cities of Bristol and Bath and the Town of Keynsham. The City of Wells and the Mendip Hills lie to the south.
The property is approached through an entrance door to a hallway where there is a downstairs cloakroom, an inner door leading to the well proportioned living room which has a beamed ceiling, exposed stonework and an impressive fireplace with woodburning stove. Beyond the living room lies the good size dining room from which french doors connect to a garden room which runs the full width of the property at the rear and provides an excellent living space flooded with natural light with views across the garden and countryside beyond. Also on the ground floor is the well proportioned live-in family kitchen with a good range of units and space for a large dining table making it very much the hub of the cottage. The kitchen is approached through an entrance porch, ideal for muddy boots etc.
On the outside Stonecroft is approached through a five bar gate with a right of way across the driveway of the neighbouring property leading to the front garden where there is a blocked paved parking bay providing off street parking. To the front and side of the property there is a paved courtyard providing an ideal sheltered area for outdoor entertaining while the large rear garden is in excess of 100ft deep laid predominately to lawn with trees and shrubs and a stone built garden store.
Chelwood is a popular village community which falls within the catchment area for Wellsway Academy at Keynsham with junior schooling available at nearby Marksbury or Pensford and with all schools being served by a bus service from the village. The village has an active social life centred around the village hall. The property is close to The Pig, a renowned country house hotel and there is easy access to Bristol International Airport.
