Summary - Springwell House, Whitfield GL12 8DS
Detached Victorian home with high ceilings and bay windows
Three reception rooms plus kitchen/breakfast and utility/boot room
Five bedrooms (four doubles) and two bathrooms, including en suite
Huge plot with gardens to side and rear; gravel parking for several cars
Oil-fired boiler heating; private sewerage treatment plant on site
EPC F and stone walls likely uninsulated — energy improvements needed
Council Tax band G (high running costs); maintenance expected for age
Sold freehold with no onward chain
A roomy Victorian family home set on a large plot just north of Thornbury, offering flexible accommodation across three reception rooms and five bedrooms. The house feels light and airy with high ceilings and period bay windows; gardens wrap around the side and rear, and gravel parking to the rear accommodates several vehicles via a shared driveway. The property is offered with no onward chain and vacant possession potential.
Practicalities: the house runs on oil-fired boiler heating and sits on a private sewerage treatment system. Energy performance is low (EPC F) and the stone external walls are assumed uninsulated, so there is scope — and likely cost — to improve thermal efficiency and reduce running bills. Double glazing has been installed post-2002.
This is a genuine family opportunity for someone seeking character, space and a rural village setting: good nearby schools and fast broadband make it suited to homeworking and growing families. Buyers should budget for energy upgrades, possible insulation work, and ongoing maintenance associated with an older sandstone/limestone property. The location has limited local amenities and a higher local crime score than average, which may concern some buyers.
Freehold, parking for several cars, large gardens, and no chain make this attractive for purchasers who want a substantial period house to adapt and modernise to their own taste.
