Summary - St. Michaels Cottage, Townsend, East Harptree BS40 6BH
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Renovated period farmhouse with paddock, triple garage and panoramic Chew Valley views.
Five double bedrooms with flexible sixth bedroom/dressing room option
Set on about an acre with sweeping Chew Valley views, St. Michaels Cottage is a renovated mid‑19th‑century farmhouse with a striking contemporary two‑storey glazed extension. The house combines original features—exposed stone, quarry tiles and sash‑style details—with modern comforts including underfloor heating on the ground floor, a new boiler (2024) and bespoke fitted furniture throughout. A newly built triple garage and gravel drive provide extensive parking and storage for family vehicles and equipment.
Interior space is generous and flexible: five double bedrooms (sixth possible in the dressing room), three bathrooms, separate study and two reception wings linked by original and contemporary staircases. The modern wing delivers light, panoramic country views and a luxurious master suite with dressing room; the original cottage wing retains character and cosy fireplaces for winter months. The layout works well for family living, home working and multi‑generational occupation.
Outside the formal gardens, south‑facing terrace and orchard give way to an adjoining pony paddock with stable and field shelter—useful for equestrian or small‑holding purposes. The property is chain free, freehold and offered in excellent decorative order following a comprehensive two‑year renovation programme, including a new sewage treatment plant (2024).
Important practical points: the house sits in a rural village with fast broadband and average mobile signal, but is reliant on private drainage. The stone walls are historic and assumed to have no cavity insulation documented; council tax is above average and the EPC rating is D. These are factors to consider alongside the strong family and lifestyle appeal of the plot, views and extensive, ready‑to‑move‑into accommodation.
