A wonderful country home of great charm and character with delightful sweeping grounds commanding outstanding views across the Chew Valley.
Description
Nestled on the edge of Harptree Hill, this stylish and elegant barn conversion combines great character combined with a light modern touch and offers terrific family accommodation over just two floors. The property was converted approximately 25 years ago and offers privacy coupled with the security afforded by a small number of neighbouring homes, all surrounded by a backdrop of the beautiful rolling Chew Valley countryside. The long gated driveway sweeps passed the front of the house, culminating in a large parking and turning area adjacent to the double garage.
Noteworthy features of the home include stone mullion windows with window seats, stable and latched solid oak doors, exposed beams and stonework. The house is decorated in a calm and neutral palette of natural colours and exudes a lovely relaxed ambience throughout. The homes eco credentials are bolstered by the modern biomass heating boiler with solar panels on both the barn and the garage with a feedback tarrif and 3 phase power.
A light central hallway features a wide run of glazed panels that are replicated on the floor above and flood this welcoming area with a good deal of natural sun light. There are two good reception rooms – the sitting room has a fine inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove and the second reception could be used as a secondary family room or formal dining room if preferred. Equally, it offers the option of a ground floor 5th bedroom for a dependant relative.
The dual aspect kitchen has granite work surfaces, modern built-in appliances and plenty of space for informal dining with friends and family. A separate utility provides further useful storage with a cloakroom and door to the rear courtyard.
The first floor landing is a lovely space within the home – the long oak framed glazed screen commanding exceptional views of the lake and leading to four bedrooms including a principal en suite and a luxurious family bathroom with a walk in shower and a freestanding roll top bath.
Outside
The gardens are a noteworthy feature of the home, predominantly south facing and enjoying a great sense of privacy and seclusion. To the rear, they sweep up the hillside, leading to a perfectly placed summerhouse with a decking area and a terrific vantage point from which to relax and take in the breathtaking views. Those that work from home may choose to site a studio or office in this special part of the garden. There is a productive orchard with apple, plums, damsons and pears and a gravelled entertaining terrace runs along the rear of the barn. A further cobbled courtyard was formerly part of the milking area with a room housing the biomass boiler and there is a useful timber clad stone workshop which offers conversion potential subject to planning approval.
Location
