Outside
The gardens wrap around two sides of this central portion of the original manor house. Approached via a private driveway, which the neighbouring property has right of access, it then sweeps into a private gravelled drive offering plenty of parking. The gardens to the front of the house have been beautifully landscaped with formal level lawns divided by clipped hedges and flowerbeds. Designed for entertaining, there are also wonderful areas to sit and relax such as the seating terrace. With a beautiful wisteria, as well as other climbers decorating the front façade; it really is a perfect summer garden. The kitchen garden to the side is equally charming, but less formal with a lawn interspersed with fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden and a delightful dining terrace. A tall hedge divides the more practical part of the garden which includes the 4 bay garage and workshop/store and a further parking area.
Situation
Burghope Manor is located in the charming ‘old’ part of Winsley, a very pretty and sought after village. Not only is it attractive, there is no through-traffic due to a by-pass. There are a number of amenities including a Church of England primary school, two churches and a lovely country pub; The Seven Stars. Nearby is the popular Hartley Farm Shop and Kitchen. Another major bonus to the village is the regular bus service to both Bath and Bradford-on-Avon. The picturesque riverside town of Bradford on Avon is a pleasant walk of two miles via Turleigh Hill and has some wonderful independent restaurants and shops, as well as a good secondary school and railway station. Bath is just 5.3 miles and offers a wide variety of leisure, cultural and business amenities along with excellent schools in both the state and private sector. Communication links are good, with a regular mainline rail service from Bath Spa to London Paddington.
