A handsome, stone built former rectory constructed from stone gabled elevations under a pan tiled roof and within grounds extending to approximately 2.293 acres. The Old Rectory caters for a wide demographic and includes the equestrian sector. Extensively renovated by the present owners, this versatile family home is located in this quiet hamlet and provides excellent connectivity to Bristol city centre via road and rail links. Notwithstanding there is excellent tranquillity afforded from the immediate countryside and the house affords excellent views over the immediate pasture and farmland. Grade II listed and retaining plenty of original detail, there are traditional flagstone floors, original fireplaces, the majority of which have wood burning stoves and with extensive glazing to the rear elevation. Modern enhancements include a comprehensive heating system, an overhaul of the roof during the 12 year tenure of the present owners and the property has been rewired. Approached via the porch there is a welcoming reception hall with tessellated floor and a rising staircase to the first floor. A door provides direct access to the rear terrace and garden and the principal rooms lie directly off. The drawing room has French windows opening on to the aforementioned sun terrace, a feature fireplace acts as the focal point whilst the dining room also features French doors, a contemporary oak floor and panelling to dado level.

This features a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces, an Aga and a range of appliances integrated in addition to ample dining space. Beyond is the more relaxed snug and off the rear hall a utility and cloakroom. An Orangery is a more recent addition and wonderful extension to the home, ideal for casual dining and with a perfect view of the formal gardens.
