Seller Insight - This elegant, large, family home is conveniently located just a few minutes from the exceptional town of Chipping Sodbury.
Built in 1926 and set gently back from the road along a quiet lane, it has been the much loved family home for its owner since 1989.
Retiring from a large, busy, working, farm, a spacious family home was required with land, plus having essential access to qualitative amenities, including good road and rail links. Therefore, discovering The Old Farmhouse on this large parcel of land in such a convenient, yet quiet, location ticked all the boxes. Space, alongside its brilliant storage, is a luxury in this special home with rooms offering flexibility for a variety of activities. Many rooms contain a working fireplace, whilst the main reception room features a beautiful Minster fireplace. There is a brilliant sociable flow throughout and, with such space and flexibility, it is a home ideal for the comings and goings of a busy family life, with the luxury of areas for individuality. In addition, the adjacent cottage, adds to the adaptability of this home, enabling independent living space for family members, plus additional accommodation when friends and relatives come to stay.
There is a stylish patio on which to relax overlooking the large, parkland style garden, mainly laid to lawn but containing many mature trees. It is also a delightful space in which to enjoy the variety of fascinating wildlife passing through or flying overhead. With such a generous amount of space it is, indeed, the perfect house and garden for entertaining. One special event being a family wedding reception held in the garden and, with plenty of space for a large marquee, there were over 150 guests enjoying the occasion. In addition, there are stables and paddocks, plus a large barn which has endless opportunities
for its use.
