Description
Barley Brook House is a charming and beautifully presented 19thcentury detached country house, modernised and extended in recent years. The home features a mellow stone façade with painted brick quoins, set within 4.03 acres of landscaped gardens, grounds, an adjoining field and an outdoor swimming pool, in an exceptionally peaceful rural setting just north of Blagdon Lake.
Inside, rooms are light, elegant and well-proportioned, many taking in delightful garden and countryside views. Since 2014 improvements have included a biomass boiler, solar panels, upgraded kitchen appliances (including an American style fridge/freezer), a water softener, and a log burning stove in the drawing room, delivering period charm with modern comfort.
The ground floor centres on a welcoming reception hall leading to a beautifully appointed drawing room with a wood burning stove, an elegant dining room, a comfortable sitting room and a separate study ideal for home working. A generous breakfast kitchen features a four oven oil fired Aga, a central island and a walk in larder, with a covered boot store walkway connecting to the utility room. A cloakroom with WC complete this practical and well planned level of the house.
The first floor includes the principal bedroom with an en suite bath/shower room. Four further bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, served by a family bathroom and an additional shower room. The second floor offers a sixth bedroom with an en suite bathroom, along with a boarded attic room providing valuable storage or hobby space.
Approached through a five bar gate, the broad drive offers excellent parking and includes an EV charging point. The double garage has a remote-control door and loft storage; a full height workshop/garden machinery garage adjoins. Gardens are expertly planned for year-round colour and structure, including the parterre, herbaceous borders, rose beds, terraces for entertaining and a productive orchard. A gate leads to the adjoining field for amenity or equestrian use. The outdoor swimming pool has plumbing preinstalled for future airsource pool heating.
Location
Nestled in Butcombe at the heart of the Chew Valley, the house lies about one mile north of Blagdon Lake in a tranquil, semirural position with an active local community and good village amenities in Blagdon and Wrington.
Distances (approx.): Bristol 12 miles; Wells 13.5 miles; Bath 18.6 miles; M5 (J20) 9 miles; Nailsea/Backwell rail station 10 miles; Bristol Airport 4 miles; Cribbs Causeway 17 miles.
