A very special home of great character and style with a wonderfully sunny south facing aspect and generous grounds of 1.02 acres.
Description
St John’s House dates to 1850 and originally formed part of the Lord Wraxall’s Tynesfield Estate. The house has the benefit of not being listed. It features an exceptionally pretty triple gabled facade as well as many other beautiful period features which run throughout including exposed stonework and working fireplaces with display alcoves to either side of the chimney breasts. Most notably, the house benefits from an sunny south facing aspect enjoying some wonderful views of the surrounding North Somerset countryside including open farm land and towards Brockley Coombe. The gardens and paddock extend to approximately one acre and are truly delightful with sweeping areas of lawn interspersed with ornamental trees and shrubs and bordered by mature hedges, a kitchen garden area for growing produce, a generous entertaining terrace and a perfect vantage point for sitting and taking in the beautiful, unspoilt view.
The property enjoys a good deal of natural sun light and offers elegant and stylish accommodation having been completely redecorated and modernised by the current owners with a light and sympathetic touch. Solar panels have been installed significantly reducing the running costs and during the course of their ownership, a new boiler was installed, many windows were upgraded, damp proofing works were carried out as necessary and a whole new roof was added in 2011. The lovely open plan, double aspect kitchen is a relaxed and comfortable room, perfect for informal dining and features a central breakfast bar, plenty of built in storage cabinets suitably painted in a traditional duck egg blue and a large Stoves range cooker set into the chimney breast.
A large dining area to one end of room enjoys the southerly views and a door from this leads onto a rear addition, currently used as a home office with door to the rear garden. A door from the kitchen/dining room leads into the rear boot room area, which provides access from the front and has cupboards for washers/dryers, and there are two further rooms offering pantry storage and a downstairs shower room complete with shower, WC and washbasin. The sitting room is dual aspect with exposed stone chimney breast and two fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove.
An original spindled staircase leads to the first floor landing which provides access to the loft. The house currently provides four bedrooms, two of which enjoy the rural views and a large family bathroom complete with centerpiece twin ended bath, separate walk in shower, pedestal washbasin and WC. There are also a number of fitted cupboards throughout as well as a large airing cupboard.
Outside the property has a pretty enclosed front garden with a good degree of privacy from the road and a recently tarmacked parking area, which provides ample space for a number of cars. In addition, the detached double garage is much larger than the average and extends to a spacious workshop area to the rear. The paddock area is accessible from either the road or a pedestrian gate from the main formal gardens and is gently sloping and laid to grass with surrounding maintained hedgerows.
Location
Wraxall is a sought after authentic rural village set in unspoilt open countryside, conveniently situated only six miles from Clifton and has a church, a pub and a popular primary school.
Nearby Nailsea and Backwell offer a comprehensive range of amenities and good schooling of all grades and there are many private sector schools in the area with transport to several of Bristol's major public schools arranged to and from the village.
For the commuter, Wraxall is ideally placed with both junctions 19 and 20 of the M5. A mainline rail connection is available from Nailsea and Backwell station.
