An elegant, well-proportioned period house set in just over two acres of gardens and grounds, The Firs offers generous family accommodation and extensive entertaining space. The house has been refurbished and updated to create bright, high-ceiling rooms including a large modern farmhouse kitchen, a two-storey conservatory, and six reception rooms that suit family life and social gatherings.
For flexible use, planning consent (P23/02909/F) exists to create a two‑bedroom annexe, adding rental or multi‑generational potential. Grounds include a large converted barn with bar and external fireplace, a greenhouse with raised beds, mature lawns, pergola with wisteria and paddocks beyond — ideal for hobby farming, equestrian use or private outdoor living.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, drainage is private, and the property’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated. Such features can mean higher running costs and potential retrofit work. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the extensive plot and outbuildings will require ongoing maintenance.
Positioned in a peaceful hamlet near Thornbury, the house combines remoteness with reasonable access — under three miles to Junction 14 (M5) and around 19 miles to Bristol. This property will suit families or buyers seeking a substantial country home with scope to adapt or add an annexe, provided they are prepared for maintenance and the existing servicing arrangements.
