Set on the head of a circa 0.2 acre plot, this substantial country cottage blends generous period proportions with a bright, modern extension. The heart of the house is a magnificent garden/family room with two roof lanterns and large folding doors that open to a sunny terrace — excellent for indoor–outdoor entertaining. The principal bedroom opens onto a balcony with far-reaching views towards the Severn Estuary. Living space is flexible and extensive: lounge with fireplace, reading room, study, games room and an office with its own garden door suitable for home-working. A well-equipped kitchen/dining room with granite worktops overlooks the private lawn, and a glazed pavilion houses an ornamental pool at the far end of the garden.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a double garage and generous gravelled parking. Ground-floor rooms offer scope for annexe conversion or extra bedrooms if required. The house is a large family home (approximately 3,398 sq ft) that has been well presented by the current owners and offers immediate, comfortable living with clear potential to personalise and adapt.
Known limitations are factual and should be considered: the property is of traditional construction (pre-1900 stone walls with assumed no insulation) so further insulation or energy upgrades may be needed; broadband speeds in the area are slow; and the local recorded crime level is very high. Vehicular access runs along the right-hand side of the plot to nearby properties. Buyers seeking a quieter rural setting with good commuter links to Bristol and the M5 will find this location convenient, while those prioritising fast internet or lower local crime should weigh these points.
