Description
A magnificent stone built country house and estate with origins dating back to circa 1871 and with later Edwardian influences. Failand Hill House has evolved significantly during the lengthy tenures of the occupants and enjoys an unrivalled position. Standing amongst established gardens, there are extensive grounds, stables and a tennis court with unrivalled elevated views extending across the immediate countryside and to the Bristol Channel.
Bathed in natural light and with high ceilings and plenty of original detail, the property is approached via the significant Edwardian entrance porch and leads through to the large and welcoming reception hall. There is a central oak staircase with galleried landing above and a parquet floor which extends through to the principal rooms which lie directly off. There are four versatile reception rooms: the drawing room has a sweeping bay overlooking the formal gardens with an additional casement to the side and there is a working fireplace. A more intimate sitting room lies adjacent with a further bay and window seat and a fireplace with a more contemporary wood burning stove. Beyond is the snooker room with French doors to a terrace and gardens and an inglenook provides an elevated view over the table with a magnificent fireplace backdrop.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with hand crafted wall and base units, an Aga, central island and combination of granite and solid wood work surfaces. There is generous occasional dining and access to the extensive cellars. The Orangery provides a more relaxed space overlooking the gardens and tennis court and is heavily used for day to day living. There are ancillary rooms located off the rear hall including a cloakroom, utility and a shower room with a door leading out to the enclosed courtyard and a another to the integrated garage.
