House For Sale £1,150,000
With quintessential English country gardens and a wealth of original features, this attractive period home of more than 2700sq ft retains an abundance of charm and character. Situated in a desirable village that is popular with commuters for its excellent road links and close proximity to central Bristol it offers the tranquillity of a semi-rural setting. Behind a traditional stone facade, elegant cornicing, picture rails and feature stained glass combine with copious picture perfect fireplaces to allow the property’s heritage to linger, while tastefully chosen enhancements and generous rooms filled with light create a wonderful modern day family home.
The two storey accommodation unfolds from a central entrance hall and is accessed via a porch to the front. The main reception rooms open on either side, including a double aspect sitting room with a magnificent fireplace, a dining room with bay windows, and a family room which could double as a fifth bedroom, with access to a ground floor bathroom and walk-in storage. A fully fitted contemporary kitchen is appointed with Shaker cabinetry, integrated appliances and a focal point Aga. A central island delineates its notable dimensions, while the considered design flows into a breakfast room where French doors lead to the patio. There is also a useful utility room and separate cloakroom with WC. The stairs rise up from the heart of the house to a large first floor landing which has access to a main bedroom that sits beneath the exposed beams of vaulted ceiling and has an en suite bathroom. The property’s original charm and leafy outlooks continue in three equally good-sized bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

The pretty, walled gardens wrap-around to the side where the double garaging and off-street parking is accessible.

A paved patio is ideal for al fresco dining, a pond adds to the tranquil feel and the pebbled paths invite you to discover a wonderful summerhouse. Timber framed beds and greenhouses are an added bonus for budding gardeners, and these enchanting gardens flow down to a paddock making this village home perfect for an equestrian family.
