A 4 bed detached home (gorgeously given the name -Pear Tree Cottage) is situated in the sought-after Whitchurch Village with local primary school, amenities and play park in proximity. Take a short drive to the Chew Valley for a stroll around the lakes and treat yourself to a well-earned coffee and cake at the Woodford Lodge. Easy travel links into Bristol, Bath, and surrounding areas.
Pull up on the drive and prepare to step into a much-loved home bursting with original features and character. Leave your coat and shoes in the porch and head into the front sitting room. A cosy, comfortable space for cuddling up on the sofa and getting toasty after weekend adventures in the cold. Switch the fire on, sit back, and relax with a mug of hot chocolate whilst the room embraces you in its warm hug. Take note of the original oak mantle, brickwork, and flooring – what a treat when the vendors discovered these features after moving in 40 years ago! A special spot for family time and festive celebrations – envisage a twinkling Christmas tree, holly garland and stockings waiting to be filled. Whilst we’re talking about family gatherings look at the formal dining room with more original features - what a fabulous excuse for hosting dinner parties around an extended table.

The kitchen is huge and has been kindly designed and styled to be in keeping with the cottage. The dual aspect windows flood this space with natural light and provide the perfect frame for a glorious garden outlook. The abundance of storage solutions and integrated appliances (including an all-important wine fridge) help to maintain a streamline visual and provides a great excuse for trying out new recipes and tasty treats. The doorway leading into the lounge continues the flow of spaciousness and takes you into a relaxed, sunny space ready and waiting to be filled with toys, books, and love. In warmer months open the French doors and watch the kids play in the garden as you savour a cuppa.
Don’t let me forget to mention the rear porch – brilliant for wellies, brollies, and dog leads!
Let’s head upstairs where you’ll find four double bedrooms, all echoing the homely feel of this abode and all showcasing built in storage. If you’re working from home, could one of these, be turned into a study to help maintain a work life/balance?
The two shower rooms are incredibly useful for hectic morning routines or an evening wash. Avoid clutter by tucking away toiletries in the vanity units. Make sure you check out the downstairs WC -always a bonus.
Nip outside and discover a garden that will have you signing up to the good life. A gorgeous oasis oozing with charm. Keep busy tending to the much-loved flower beds or take a seat in the summer house and lose yourself in a good book. In Summer months light the BBQ and embrace some al fresco dining on the patio with a chilled G&T.
Finally - the outbuildings and garage – what a wealth of possibility these hold and an amazing opportunity to get your grand designs hat on (STPP). In the interim just think of all that storage!
