Five bedrooms plus self-contained two-bedroom annex
Set on a quiet lane at the edge of Bishop Sutton, Hambrook House is a substantial period farmhouse with sweeping gardens and attractive countryside views. The main house offers traditional features — exposed beams, parquet floors, stone fireplaces and a log burner — and a versatile layout that suits a large family or those needing separate living space. A self-contained two-bedroom annex with its own entrance provides income potential or multi-generational living.
The grounds are a standout asset: very large, enclosed rear lawn, mature boundary hedging, a generous gravel driveway and a detached garage. The long patio and open-field outlook create a private, rural setting while the village centre and Chew Valley Lake are within a short walk, supporting a lifestyle of outdoor recreation and village amenities.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. The property is oil-fired centrally heated with an older boiler, double glazing installed before 2002 and stone walls likely without modern insulation. The EPC is rated F and broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is in band F and the house was constructed before 1900, so prospective buyers should budget for energy-improvement works and possible modernisation.
There is potential to extend subject to planning permission, which could increase living space or improve layout flexibility. Overall, this is a characterful rural farmhouse offering considerable space and opportunities — best suited to buyers who value countryside living and are prepared to invest in energy and fabric upgrades.
