An outstanding country home in 11.55 acre grounds with a substantial principal home and a delightful detached cottage perfect for multi-generational living This substantial residence is set within exceptional parkland grounds, tucked away from any main road and offering a truly rural idyll, perfectly placed for an easy commute to Bristol, the airport and just 5 miles from Junction 21 of the M5. Believed to date circa 1975 and within the same ownership for approaching 40 years, the estate comprises of a large principal residence with a very generously appointed detached cottage sitting immediately adjacent. As such, this represents a perfect opportunity for those seeking to combine assets by way of multi-generational living, to have the luxury of impressive independent guest accommodation or alternatively to generate significant rental income. The gated driveway sweeps through the parkland and up the hillside leading to two expansive parking forecourts, one for each home, with far reaching Southerly aspects across the lawned grounds interspersed by fine specimen trees. The main house is a delightfully individual residence offering terrific flexibility in the way it may with a series of wonderfully proportioned reception areas set over both floors. Tucked to the rear and side of the house is a particularly good sized self contained apartment with a bright sitting room, kitchen and an en suite double bedroom with a private access directly onto the front driveway. The ground floor of the property and inner hallway leads through to the first of the reception rooms, with triple aspect to the front of the home and a further reception hallway. This has a fireplace and a pair of glazed, double doors to another large room providing an alternative entertaining area or ground floor bedroom space if preferred. An internal home office is of a good size and is a peaceful, private retreat which could be equally well used as a fitness room, media room or home cinema. Also on this level is a laundry room and a bathroom which would serve either of the ground floor rooms if used as an additional bedroom. A large, galleried first floor landing opens to a magnificent drawing room occupying much of the front elevation of the home with four large windows from which to take in the superb aspect over the grounds. A substantial working marble fireplace creates a fine focal point and to one end, is a partially glazed sun room with sliding doors onto the decked south facing balcony. The formal dining room currently accommodates a table for ten guests with patio doors opening to the rear sheltered terrace with rockery beyond. The kitchen is fitted with solid Oak cabinets with modern Neff stainless steel oven and ceramic hob and built in fridge and freezer. Beyond the kitchen, is a beautifully light Orangery with two lantern roofs bathing the room in sunlight and with bifold doors that fully open up the room to the balcony beyond. A further door provides access to the rear and is a useful link to the adjacent cottage. There are three further bedrooms, the guest room being en suite, a separate family bathroom and a truly outstanding principal suite with dedicated bathroom facilities and a magnificent dressing room fitted with exceptional built in wardrobe space. The Dowager cottage The Dowager Cottage is certainly a rarity in that it offers such generous accommodation and is of proportion that would allow extended family members to enjoy the benefits of the parkland and the proximity of the main house without feeling their own living space unduly compromised. On the ground floor, an inner hall leads into the open plan kitchen/dining room with utility room and a covered passageway. The property offers a ground floor cloakroom with adjacent shower room and large living room to the far side of the house. On the first floor there is a large principal bedroom with en suite plus two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The 11.55 acre grounds are a most noteworthy feature of this impressive property planted with deciduous and evergreen trees, bordered by a backdrop of mature woodland on the far boundary. Certainly a haven for native wildlife. A large stone built outbuilding set at the far side of the paddock may offer scope for conversion (subject to planning approval).
