- Built 1856 farmhouse with pronounced period character
Chestnut House is a character-rich 1856 farmhouse set high above Kewstoke with far-reaching valley and coastal views. The main house keeps period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, bread oven, wood burners and an AGA — while offering a master suite in the roof with vaulted ceiling and en suite. A fully detached, self-contained two-bedroom cottage provides flexible space for guests, dependent relatives or rental income.
The terraced, thoughtfully landscaped gardens maximise the outlook and culminate in a decked hot tub and covered seating area with lighting and power, backed by a belt of woodland. Substantial gated off-street parking serves both buildings and the location is convenient for Sand Bay, local schools and the M5.
Practical considerations: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, main walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed no wall insulation, and council tax is described as expensive. The area shows higher local crime and relative deprivation indicators. Offered chain-free and requiring some modernisation or energy-efficiency upgrades, the property suits buyers seeking character, space and renovation potential rather than a fully turnkey home.
