luxury house for sale Bristol, United Kingdom

Located in the picturesque village of Marksbury, just a 15-minute drive from Bath, this Grade II listed extended gem, dating back to the 17th century, beautifully blends history with modernity. The property also includes The Forge, a one-bedroom annexe originally developed as self-contained accommodation and now operating as a successful holiday let. Chulmleigh Cottage, the main residence, spans two floors and encompasses four spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom offers an en-suite shower room and a charming dressing area while a generously sized family bathroom invites relaxation with its delightful bath and shower facilities. Significant enhancements in the 1990s brought about substantial expansions; highlights include a light-filled, high-ceilinged dining room, seamlessly connected to the garden. A two-storey extension introduced a hall, convenient downstairs cloakroom and utility room, and an additional double bedroom accessible via a relocated staircase – this room boasts direct access to the upper garden level through French doors. The owners' attraction to the property was immediate: ‘we were drawn to the distinctive style and age that make it unique and the meticulous renovation and extensions carried out by previous owners which enhanced its welcoming and cosy atmosphere.’ Outside, the rear garden delights with mature trees and shrubs encircling a secluded lawn: ‘the outdoor space features three terraced areas, each boasting a distinct character and space to enjoy eating al fresco.’ ‘A tucked-away terrace adjacent to the main bedroom offers a serene escape, linked by a sloping path from the main garden to the first-floor bedrooms.’ ‘A paved area alongside the house provides off-road parking for one or two cars, complete with a wood store and a spacious stone-built shed. Electric wooden gates offer security.’ ‘The house's thoughtful layout and warm ambience have made it a cherished haven for the family, offering space, privacy, and warmth.’ ‘The property’s standout feature lies in its timeless charm, with sturdy stone walls, stone or tiled floors on the lower level, and three sets of French doors connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.’ ‘The local community is helpful and friendly, with neighbours offering assistance when needed and the village hall hosting frequent community events.’ ‘Within walking distance, the property enjoys convenient local amenities, including a thriving primary school, inviting country pubs, a Co-op, and a petrol station. Buses take secondary pupils to schools in Keynsham and Bath.’ ‘Nearby Newbridge Park and Ride further enhances accessibility to Bath's exceptional attractions.’ Additional Information Postcode: BA2 9HP Local Authority: BANES Council Tax Band: F Services: Oil.

This charming four-bedroom cottage fuses cosy, historic character with stunning, contemporary living spaces and combines the convenience of an edge-of-town location with a private parkland-style setting and the enduring appeal of open views over the lovely south Monmouthshire countryside. I love sunsets and we have the most amazing sunsets here and wonderful skies, because it is flat and open. I have a table and chairs in the front garden, where I can sit in the afternoon and evening, looking over the farmers' fields to the west, just enjoying the skies. Fairfield sits in immaculately-kept, mature grounds of approximately 2 acres which include stables and a stable yard with independent access.

At the heart of Magor, an historic square is filled with a variety of independent shops, including a delicatessen which also sells fresh fruit and veg. The town boasts a local Post Office, a handy convenience store and a number of lovely cafes, pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The community is served by a Church in Wales Primary School, whilst Undy Primary School and Bryn Primary School are other nearby options and for secondary education, there is the well-regarded Caldicot School.

This landscape of international significance is home to a great diversity of wildlife and Magor Marsh, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is a tranquil environment teeming with wildfowl and fauna. Step inside:- - Dating from the early 1900s, the cottage was extended some 70 years later and has recently been modernised and upgraded, to provide lovely, open-plan living space, carefully planned to create a seamless flow from traditional to modern. Exposed timbers, original stone walls and an open fireplace with a wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth give the characterful living room a wonderful, warm ambience, which contrasts with the feel of the beautifully presented, light and airy contemporary kitchen which it opens into. Once separated by a dividing wall, these two rooms now provide one wow space. Says the vendor: Where we once had small, dark rooms, we now have space suitable for 21st Century living. The vendors have recently installed the stunning, modern kitchen, with its comprehensive range of units and wood effect laminate flooring, chosen for practicality. I opted for country-style units to suit the property and planned lots of workspace as I like to cook. We have a big family and when we get together they always come to us. The kitchen has a large central island, incorporating a breakfast bar and the room also has ample space for a separate dining table. The kitchen incorporates integrated appliances and a Range cooker (with LPG gas hob and electric double oven). The kitchen is flooded with natural light, being open plan to a handy utility room which leads straight through to a sun room, with glazed doors to a charming rear courtyard, perfect for dining al fresco. The neatly-presented utility room, with units to match the kitchen, includes space and plumbing for a washing machine and built-in space for an upright fridge/freezer. From the kitchen, there is a doorway to a rear hallway which leads through to a comfortable lounge. Like the living room, this is situated in the oldest part of the house and it is full of character, with an exposed original stone wall featuring an inset fireplace on a raised hearth (not a working fireplace) and a stone-built corner seat. The lounge has a window to the side garden. It is a lovely, comfortable room. It gets the sun first thing in the morning and it very light and warm. Next to the lounge is one of the vendor's favourite rooms a spacious games room with an in-built bar and sliding doors to the rear garden. It's a great family party room and we have had some really fun times in it, including birthdays, Christmases, christenings and even a fancy dress event. Off the rear hallway, there is also a is a fully-tiled downstairs shower room, refitted during the property's recent refurbishment, when the vendors also installed stylish grey traditional column radiators throughout the ground floor. From the rear hallway a pair of glazed doors gives access to the rear courtyard and stairs lead up to the first floor, where there are four bedrooms, including one with an ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobes and another which also benefits from fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom, which overlooks the front garden, has fitted wardrobes, built-in shelving and a spacious and luxurious en-suite bathroom with a whirlpool bath in one corner and a large walk-in shower in another. Off the landing there is a handy storage cupboard. Back on the ground floor, what was once a double garage has been converted into two further rooms, which could be used as a study and further reception room. The flexible space, accessed through the sun room but also with independent access from the front of the cottage, could alternatively be returned to a garage or converted to provide a ground floor bedroom or annexe accommodation. Outside - From the road, a pair of five bar gates open to an impressive gravelled driveway, which leads up to the front of the cottage and around to the side, where there is ample parking. Either side of the driveway, large level lawns planted with mature trees, including 50-year-old willows, give a parkland feel. Spring bulbs planted along the fence line at the front of the properly are a mass of seasonal colour. At the rear of the cottage, opening from the sun room, is a lovely, sheltered and secluded courtyard area, where pretty climbing plants clamber over a wooden pergola. The courtyard, laid with pavers in a circular pattern, makes a wonderful spot for outdoor entertaining. Past a garden shed in one corner of the courtyard, steps lead up to a vegetable garden, with two raised beds and a greenhouse. The gardens and grounds also include an orchard with a variety of fruit trees. Fairfield enjoys a beautiful level position, extending to approximately 2 acres and also including a stable yard, with wooden stables with three loose boxes, with independent access through a five bar gate directly from the road. Further, substantial buildings, all with business use granted, comprise a brick-built, L-shaped building (which could provide further stabling) and two further single-storey blocks.

This magnificent, Grade II listed family home sits in private, part-walled gardens in a Conservation Area at the historic heart of the desirable village of St Arvans, at the gateway to the beautiful Wye Valley. St Arvans Court is an attractive and exceptionally well-presented property, which benefits from three elegant reception rooms, a large, recently fitted family kitchen with a charming breakfast/dining area, seven bedrooms, a home office and a gym with a sauna. The historic house is thought to be Jacobean in origin, with an imposing Georgian addition at the front. It is remarkable for its lovely period features, which include a balcony along the full length of the back of the house and a unique circular sitting room at the front. Other classic detailing includes dado rails, cornicing, some original shutters, some pretty cast iron bedroom fireplaces and traditional cast iron radiators. Charming traditional features in the oldest part of the property include an open stone fireplace and exposed beams. The lovely property has been home to the vendors for the past 25 years and in that time they have lovingly refurbished, modernised and maintained it. It's a special house and has made an absolutely perfect family home. It is peaceful and has a real warmth about it. When we first viewed it, the children loved it, particularly the two attic bedrooms, which they claimed as theirs. The vendors were also attracted to the area, which is very popular with families. St. Arvans is a charming village, situated in the Lower Wye Valley, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife, it's a good base for those who enjoy walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. It's also a friendly place with a strong sense of community. The Memorial Hall hosts a busy calendar of events and village facilities include a pub, church, day nursery and two playing fields. Only two miles away, in Chepstow, there are schools, further leisure facilities, a range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and an M&S Foodhall. This lovely ancient market town is the site of Chepstow Castle, reputedly the earliest stone-built Norman stronghold. Chepstow racecourse is within walking distance of St Arvans and there are golf and leisure facilities at nearby St Pierre Golf & Country Club. From the village, it's only three and a half miles to the Severn Bridge and to the motorway network, bringing Bristol, Newport and Cardiff within easy reach. There are regular trains to London from Bristol Parkway and international flights from Bristol and Cardiff airports. Step Inside:- - The house is rendered and painted, with Welsh slate roofs. It has an attractive, symmetrical facade with sash windows with decorative dripmoulds over. There is a grand, central entrance porch with a front door with pretty leaded panes set below a leaded fanlight. The welcoming entrance hallway has tessellated tiled flooring and an attractive ceiling arch. Solid wood doors open from either side of the hallway to the two elegant, high ceilinged reception rooms which both have sash windows (with their original shutters) overlooking the front of the property. One of these rooms is the gorgeous, circular sitting room, which has two large alcoves either side of an attractive fireplace, housing a wood burning stove. The round room is my favourite place in the winter because it is so cosy and tranquil in there. It is a perfect place to cuddle up on the sofa in front of the log burner. Across the hallway, the second reception room, used as a formal dining room, is perfect for dinner parties and Christmas entertaining. In a similar style to the sitting room, at one end of the room there are two large alcoves with decorative plasterwork in a semi-circular wall, framing a feature fireplace. One alcove houses a purpose-built dresser. In the other there is an intriguing, revolving dumb waiter, which connects with the kitchen. I can't say we have ever used it but it is an unusual feature to have! The kitchen/breakfast room is in the original Jacobean part of the house, at the back of the property, where lower, beamed ceilings lend the rooms traditional character and charm. The stylish, recently refitted kitchen features a range of contemporary, pebble grey units, quartz worksurfaces, splashbacks and upstands, Mandarin Stone porcelain floor tiles and a traditional Belfast sink. The well-planned kitchen includes a large island, plenty of cupboard and drawer space, a comprehensive range of inbuilt appliances and a large larder cupboard. There is a two-oven, oil-fired Aga as well as a separate cooker and hob. A door from the kitchen opens to a side porch which leads to a patio at the side of the house, used for outdoor dining and entertaining. The kitchen leads through to a large breakfast/dining area with three exposed ceiling beams and an impressive stone fireplace, with an oak beam over, housing a huge wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth. With the Aga at one end and the big log burner at the other, this room is really warm and cosy. From the breakfast/dining area, there is a door to the back garden and to one side of the fireplace, five steps lead up to a fitted utility room, with a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. This room is in a modern, single storey extension at the side of the house, which could be converted into an annexe if required. A door from the utility room leads through to a study/home office with a large window overlooking the garden as well as a door to the outside. I chose this as my home office because it is quiet and away from the main house and it was an ideal place to work from home, without being disturbed. Beyond the study is a home gym with a sauna, whilst in this extension there is also an integrated single garage, with a courtesy door into the utility room. The downstairs accommodation is completed by a WC situated off the porch to the side of the kitchen. From the entrance hallway a Georgian staircase with turned spindles and a mahogany handrail leads up to a first-floor family living room, which has two sets of French doors to the balcony running along the back of the house. On warm evenings, it is lovely to throw them open to the balcony it brings the outside in. The room has traditional oak flooring and a fireplace with a decorative wood surround housing a wood burning stove. There are also three bedrooms on this floor, including the principal suite, a light and airy space with two sash windows to the front of the property and an arched window to the side. There's a dressing area and a modern ensuite with a contemporary free-standing bath and a steam shower. Also overlooking the front of the house is a double guest bedroom which features a charming cast iron fireplace. At the back of the house, with French doors to the balcony, there is a further double bedroom which has a door to the Jack and Jill family bathroom, also accessible from the hallway. Stairs lead up to a second floor, where, on a half landing, there is a door to a two-bedroom, self-contained apartment, which has its own private access up a metal staircase from the outside. Ideal as separate space for grandparents or grown-up children, the vendors have mainly used it as part of their main accommodation. It was useful having two kitchens when the children were teenagers and entertaining their friends. The stairs lead on up to the two delightful double bedrooms in the attic, both with the A-frame exposed. These are the rooms the children fell in love with. One room has a charming curved window and a door to ample hanging and storage space in the eaves. The other has a porthole window. The rooms share a modern bathroom. Running underneath the front of the house, accessed from the garden or from steps down from the breakfast area, here is a barrel-roofed cellar with a flagstone floor, used for storage. Outside - The house stands in gardens of 0.80 acres, enclosed by an old stone wall on three sides and a tall hedge on the other, providing privacy. One of the beauties of the house is that it is in the village, with houses all around, but it is private and quite quiet. The property is accessed through a pair of wooden gates set in the stone wall. A driveway leads to ample parking in front of the property and then on round to the single garage at the side of the house. There is a mature Wellingtonia at the front of the house and a recently planted rare deciduous Sequoia. There is a large area of lawn at the back of the house and a sheltered patio to one side, perfect for summer barbeques and for a hot tub. An arbour half way up the garden is a lovely place to enjoy the last of the sun. A lavender bed borders a flagstone area under the balcony. An area of garden at the side of the property has been fenced off and contains a raised vegetable bed. It's a perfect-sized garden, completely safe for the dogs. When the children were growing up, the house was always full of their friends. It was fantastic for parties and the garden was a magnet for them all.

This handsome, modernised and extended period farmhouse enjoys a glorious, elevated situation, commanding stunning 180 degree views of the picturesque scenery of the Wye Valley 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. The substantial six-bedroom residence is set above a quiet country road in the friendly but spread-out community of Hewelsfield, in the Forest of Dean. Once at the heart of a cider farm, the handsome 200-year-old property sits in lovely, established gardens at the end of a long drive, with its group of majestic Scots Pines providing a local landmark. True to its heritage, its 2.16 acres of grounds include a productive orchard which keeps the vendor well-supplied with apples for cider, apple juice and apple cake! The Wye Valley's spectacular scenery and wonderful natural environment have inspired generations of artists and creatives, including the vendor, drawn to this particular property some 20 years ago by its pastoral surroundings and abundance of light. My husband and I were both painters. I was captured by the Scots Pines and the view. My husband was looking for light from the north and whilst this house is south-facing, he was able to set up a studio in the large, back, north-facing bedroom. The vendor says the gardens and grounds have also been a joy. She has enjoyed creating and tending her vegetable plot and planning and maintaining the wonderful formal gardens. The property has provided an idyllic country lifestyle, surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and wonderful walks, including the long distance Wye Valley Walk and Offas Dyke National Trail. You are in the heart of nature. There is an incredible sense of quiet and no light pollution. The property is private, but not isolated, part of the small but vibrant community of Hewelsfield, served by the award-winning Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village Shop (closed due to a recent fire whilst work is underway to reopen it). Other village facilities include a playing field next to the shop and The Mackenzie Hall, in Brockweir, which hosts a range of classes, clubs and events, including a Tennis Club. Hunters Lodge is also close to amenities in the market towns of Chepstow ( 7 miles) and Monmouth (10 miles). Well-regarded educational facilities nearby include state secondary schools, Llandogo Primary School and the Haberdashers' Monmouth independent boys' and girls' schools. Good access to motorway links to Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands makes the area attractive to commuters. Step inside:- - The property boasts spacious, high ceilinged principal rooms which enjoy plenty of natural light and outstanding views from large, double glazed windows. The accommodation is currently arranged into one four bedroom family home with a first floor one-bed apartment, with its own access (House Martins). One wing of the house, also with private access, is used as a one-bedroom lettings annexe (The Retreat). Overall, the spacious accommodation (4855 sq ft) provides many options, including for dual family living, Airbnb, additional lettings income, live-in staff or for integration into one grand and gracious family home. Hunters Lodge is a three-storey property, with a basement used for storage and workshops. The principal accommodation is accessed up a flight of stone steps from the driveway, leading to an attractive, solid wood, glazed entrance porch with slate flooring. The porch was built about 20 years ago, replacing a smaller one but in a similar style. I copied the Gothic window design from the original. From the porch a glazed door opens directly into a living room which has been refurbished with walnut flooring and where the stone fireplace has been exposed and now houses a wood burning stove. To one side of the living room is an elegant, light-filled room with original pine floorboards and a large, south-facing bay window, taking advantage of the views. There is a French door to the side of the house. This room would make an ideal formal dining room, playroom or music room but for the vendor, it was an obvious choice for her studio. Leading off the other side of the living room is another lovely room, also with large bay windows and pine floorboards and, like all the reception rooms, it has period cornicing. Benefiting from built-in bookcases, this room is used as a library. A farmhouse style kitchen/diner is located at the rear of the property, with views over the orchard. It has slate flooring and is fitted with oak units under oak worksurfaces. The central island incorporates a hob and the stone fireplace houses an electric two-oven Aga. To one side of the fireplace is a useful larder cupboard. A side door and a pair of French doors give access from the kitchen to a raised, paved patio at the side of the house, which enjoys views over the valley and makes a wonderful outdoor dining space. In the main part of the property, the downstairs accommodation is completed by a single bedroom with a modern ensuite shower room. There is a downstairs cloakroom off a large inner hallway, at the back of the house. A traditional wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms, one facing the rear, overlooking the orchards and two at the front, enjoying long distance views. There are exposed pine floorboards throughout this floor. The principal bedroom has a large bay window, an exposed stone fireplace with a woodburning stove and two built-in cupboards. It shares a charming, modern Jack-and-Jill bathroom with the second front bedroom. There is potential to create a magnificent principal suite by converting the second bedroom into a large dressing room. On this floor, the accommodation also includes a laundry room/utility room, with a washbasin and WC. The self-contained apartment, House Martins, takes up the remainder of the original first floor of the house. It incorporates a fitted kitchen/diner, a modern bathroom and a large bed/sitting room with a bay window to the front of the property and an exposed stone fireplace with a log burning stove. The apartment has its own private staircase and access from the rear of the house. There is also a service access from the main bedroom landing, making it easy to reintegrate the rooms if required. There is a further option to turn the apartment kitchen/diner into a bedroom. The annexe, The Retreat, comprises a new wing, purpose-built about 10 years ago in the style of the original property, originally used as a holiday let and currently rented out. The annexe benefits from large bay windows giving views to the side of the property. It has its own access, a private patio, a designated area of garden and parking for two cars. On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and upstairs is a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There is a service access to the kitchen area from the main house, making reintegration possible. Hunters Lodge benefits from partially boarded attic storage and the basement, with its large windows and access door to the gardens, is divided into thr.. Outside - The house is approached along a long gravel driveway, lined with heather and mature shrubs and leading to ample parking. The driveway leads past a lovely area of level lawn, with established borders and an original sundial as a focal point. The attractive formal gardens near the house have been planned for seasonal colour and include large beds retained by natural stone walling. Established trees, shrubs and climbers include hydrangeas, magnolias and wisteria. Behind the house is the orchard - a gently sloping are with mixed fruit trees, leading to bluebell woodland at the top. There is a kitchen garden with a soft fruit area and a small lily pond. A feature of the gardens is a group of towering Scots Pines, which the vendor believes would have been planted as a deliberate landmark. There is a patio used by the annexe, whilst accessed from the kitchen of the main property there is a raised, paved patio. Both take advantage of the breathtaking views and the wonderful natural surroundings. The gardens are south facing and because it is so high up, in the mornings you can sometimes see a layer of cloud over the village and watch it rise up it is captivating. The sun rises and sunsets are also amazing. The grounds extend to about 2.16 acres and we are advised by the vendor that further land on the other side of the lane is available separately if required by separate negotiation.
