Description

This picture perfect country home dates to 1648 is set in a truly idyllic rural location, discreetly set back at the head of a long driveway with a beautiful approach and is set in grounds of circa 5.11 acres. The grounds form the basis of a small country estate with many component parts that offer a myriad of options for those seeking to enjoy multi-generational living, perhaps to create an income source through property rental or to extend the opportunities for home offices. In this regard there is a sizeable stone built annexe in the grounds that would benefit from a degree of refurbishment but would provide an excellent base for those that run their business from home with space for a number of individuals. The driveway sweeps past the tennis court to a large turning and parking area with space for numerous vehicles which extends to a further paved courtyard in front of the cottage. Beyond this area and set below the top orchard/paddock is a large open car barn, tractor barn and a very spacious timber workshop.

From the driveway, a pathway leads into the beautiful walled front garden with a wide expanse of level lawn bordered by deep set, mature borders – a wonderfully pretty approach to the central front porch, which opens to a wide and welcoming reception hallway with a warm, oak parquet floor that runs throughout much of the ground floor. There are essentially three wings to house; the west wing leads from the hallway directly into a long dining room perfect for formally entertaining, through to a relaxed and comfortable music room or second sitting room with doors opening to the front garden. To the far side of the hallway is a study and a fine reception hall of great character and charm, with exposed ceiling beams, a substantial inglenook fireplace and a magnificent period door leading into the principal triple aspect drawing room with a deep set, open fireplace providing an excellent focal point to this impressive room. The North Wing of the ground floor is really the informal, working part of the property with a through breakfast room with a walk in pantry and a substantial woodburning stove, the fitted kitchen , utility, garden room and the pool shower and sauna. On the floor above is a studio flat currently used as an hobbies room.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, three of which are en suite with a further separate shower room and the principal suite is particularly noteworthy with three triple windows overlooking the grounds and a walk-in dressing room that could be used as a child’s sixth bedroom if required.

Outbuildings, cottage and grounds

Immediately adjacent to the main house is a small cottage requiring a degree of finishing works and refurbishment but offering an excellent prospect for this seeking to house a relative or to generate income. The ‘shooting office’ offers yet further scope and a sizeable stone built office building ( again in need of work) is a good footprint and could be adapted to be a fitness/leisure suite or re-instated as a large private office. Further outbuildings include a large two storey pool house/party barn and useful garden stores tucked away in the ‘pool garden’. The swimming pool is set in a lovely area of the garden being exceptionally private and well screened with entertaining terraces and a vine clad pergoda providing the perfect seating area for alfresco dining. The lawn sweeps beyond the pool area to the croquet lawn with a further small paddock beyond – a delightful part of the grounds framed by the backdrop of mature woodland trees. The main paddock enclosed by post and rail stock proof fencing is currently grazed by Alpacas and lies beyond the car and tractor barns and runs gently up hill to the rear and side of the house. A hard tennis court is located to the front of the property adjacent to the entrance drive.

Location

Cleeve is located approximately 11 miles South of Bristol’s Commercial Centre. There are excellent road, air and rail links via the A370, Bristol International Airport and Nailsea and Backwell Train Station respectively.
