Description
This historic home is most conveniently placed for access to Bristol, the motorway network with lovely countryside on the doorstep. Set directly opposite the green with open vistas towards the village church, the home is an important and noted historic property believed to date to circa 1650 and Grade II listed as being of special architectural significance.
The property is set back from the lane with an area of parking to the front, whilst this is not within the curtilage of the home it provides easy and convenient parking for visitors and supplements the private parking within the detached double garage to the rear. The accommodation is over three levels with a canopied porch open to the inner hallway with front reception rooms to either side. To the right sits the formal dining room with fireplace, oak flooring and exposed ceiling beams and to the opposite side are two further receptions, predominantly open plan room with a substantial wood burning stove and separate fireplace and windows overlooking the front green. The kitchen is an important part of any home and in this instance it offer a spacious and relaxed setting perfect for informal entertaining of family and friends. The quarry tiled floor adds a feeling of warmth to the home and runs right though the kitchen in to the adjacent utility room and back pantry. The kitchen is well appointed with extensive wooden storage cabinets, oak work surfaces and a Range cooker. Windows overlook the sheltered south facing rear garden which may be accessed directly from the utility room. From the rear of the hallway, three easy steps lead up to a mezzanine office with a high vaulted oak framed ceiling and exposed stone chimney breast with cast iron grate. The cellar is also accessed from this inner hall.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms with a well appointed family bathroom with bath and large walk in shower. The principal bedroom is a lovely suite with a walk through dressing room leading to a generous bedroom with natural oak flooring and a dedicated en suite with free standing Victorian style bath, shower and an adjacent room currently used as a gym. On the second floor there are three further bedrooms and a shower room. This floor would certainly be a superb space for an independent teenager seeking their own privacy or offering potential for those wishing to generate additional income from Airbnb.
The pretty garden to the rear is a sheltered sun trap with a terrace seating area set off the kitchen/utility with level lawns and well stocked colourful borders. There is a further outbuilding/store and access to the rear of the detached double garage.
The Barn
The Barn is a generously proportioned home of circa 2245 sq ft. It offers 2/3 bedrooms with a most impressive high vaulted, open plan living space with a glazed mezzanine walkway that creates a great sense of style and elegance to this unique home. The home has been most recently let out generating significant independent income for the owners of Porch House. It features a superb flagstone floor and is presented in good decorative order throughout and would certainly be an excellent proposition for those wishing to combine assets with a family member retaining independence from one another but with the security and comfort of living immediately next door.
Location
Stone is a small Gloucestershire village which boast an outstanding primary school, a beautiful church and pretty village green. Porch House and The Barn are set just off the A38 with junctions 13 of the M5 just 1.5 miles distant allowing easy travel to both North and South of the country, Bristol Parkway Station, Bristol City Centre and Bristol Airport.
