Old Field House is a handsome, well-proportioned detached farmhouse dating from the 1700s, presented with many retained period features and thoughtfully modernised areas. Set on roughly 0.4 acres with private, well-established gardens, the house offers flexible accommodation across c.4,161 sq ft including five double bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and extensive garaging for up to five cars. Its layout and separate outbuildings create clear potential for dual occupation or ancillary home working, while the conservatory and south-facing terrace link the interior to peaceful rural views.
Practicalities are straightforward: freehold tenure, generous driveway parking, fast broadband and convenient road/rail links (easy access to the M5, Bristol Airport and mainline services to Bristol and London). The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has mixed modern and original fittings; some areas retain historic construction (stone walls, original beams) which may limit immediate insulation improvements. EPC rating E and council tax described as quite expensive — buyers should factor running costs and potential upgrade works into their budget.
This home will appeal to families seeking space and character in a quiet hamlet, purchasers wanting scope to adapt accommodation for multi-generational living, and buyers who value garaging and established gardens. While presented in good order, the house offers clear potential for sympathetic modernisation in places (electrics, insulation, heating upgrades) to improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs. Viewings recommended for those wanting a substantial country residence with versatile layout and excellent local schools nearby.
