Truly outstanding views from this most impressive and substantial country residence.

Description

This exceptional home is perfectly placed for swift access to the motorway network and the city yet is set amongst the glorious South Gloucestershire countryside and is well hidden from the road, tucked at the end of a long driveway with a lovely rural ambience – a surprise for a home so conveniently located and certainly a great rarity in the regard. With origins to the early 17th century, the home has been totally remodelled and transformed by way of a magnificent extension that creates a superb, open plan kitchen/living area flooded with natural sunlight and commanding wonderful vistas across the grounds and the valley beyond. For those not familiar with this area, the breath-taking views will come as a total surprise - the widest panorama and best sunsets in the region by far! A galleried landing above the kitchen enhances the overall feeling of space and it is noted that the home offers terrific flexibility in its layout. Principally a five bedroom home, all with dedicated en suites but equally ideal for those seeking multigenerational living with a ground floor guest suite perfect as an independent space for a dependant family member. A further option could be to adapt the excellent stable and office building to be a stand alone annexe, whether for the same use of perhaps to generate rental income. The lovely 24’ drawing room exudes the character of the original home with a magnificent inglenook fireplace and exposed ceiling beams which feature in a number of the bedrooms.

The grounds sweep down gently sloping hillside to the rear and adjoin farmland and take in views beyond the Severn Bridge to the Welsh hills beyond. A walk through the paddock leads into a very special wildflower meadow, and the entertaining terrace with heated, covered swimming pool are no doubt an absolute joy on long summer days and well into the evening as the sun sets on the distant horizon.

Location

Approached via a long private driveway, the home is well tucked away from the road yet perfectly placed for access to the motorway network, Cribbs Causeway and Bristol city centre. The bustling market town of Thornbury is within a two mile drive with an extensive range of shops, restaurants and pubs with highly regarded schools both private and state sector both nearby and in Bristol. Bristol Parkway Train Station is approximately 5.6 miles distant with direct trains to London Paddington and other cities nationwide.
