Stowey, Bishop Sutton, Bristol, BS39

DESCRIPTION

A beautifully restored four bedroom cottage dating back to the 1800's, immaculately presented throughout and set within the heart of the Chew Valley with close links to Bristol and Bath. The property has been enhanced and improved by the current owner providing a new purchaser with a home in a 'turn key' condition. 

Upon entering the property is a spacious entrance hall with ample space for shoes and coats whilst also leading to a downstairs w/c and a utility room with further storage and plumbing for a appliances. The kitchen/dining room has been finished to a high standard with an array of fitted units with soft close doors and drawers, topped with stone worktops, along with an integrated dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer, space for a range cooker and a breakfast bar. The room still has ample room for a dining table to accommodate six people whilst the room benefits from a dual aspect and a door to the side of the house. Situated at the front of the house are two well-proportioned reception rooms, both currently used as sitting rooms but offering the potential to have a formal dining room if desired. The rooms both benefit from having a dual aspect with an abundance of natural light whilst having wood burners as the main focal point. Accessed from the main hall is a study, perfect for working from home or to be used as a playroom or additional storage room if required. 

To the first floor are four bedrooms and the main family bathroom which comprises a freestanding bath, wash hand basin, toilet and heated towel rail. The principal bedroom has a view to the front and features an ensuite shower room. A further double bedroom looks out to the front of the house whilst two large single bedrooms look out over the gardens to the rear. There is further potential to extend over the utility room to create a further bedroom if desired.

OUTSIDE

Approaching the property is a five bar wooden gate opening to a driveway, with parking for three to four cars and wrapping around the house to the attached, larger than average, single garage with light and power. The gardens back onto fields and are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs, bushes, mature trees and flower beds. Two Stone outbuildings provide additional storage for tools and a lawn mower but could be modified to create a lovely outside work from home office.
