Property description
Winterbourne is a large village situated on the north side of Bristol, with an array of facilities including a Bank, local Co-Op Store, Post Office, Hair Dressers, Opticians, Library, Doctors Surgery and Dentists. The village is partially surrounded by woodland and fields, with lots of footpaths and bridleways criss-crossing the countryside, including the popular Frome Valley Walkway. A large duck pond overlooking the Frome valley provides a relaxing spot for fishing, or feeding the ducks and geese, and a public nature reserve is a pleasant area for dog walkers.
There are a number of primary schools in the Winterbourne area, including an independent Prep School. Secondary and Sixth Form education can be found at The Ridings Federation Winterbourne International Academy.
Winterbourne is about 2 miles from the M5 and M32 and 5 miles from the M4. The main line railway station is within a 2 mile drive at Bristol Parkway. Bristol airport is approximately 15 miles to the south. Bristol City Centre is approximately 7 miles away.
Reputed to date back to 1740 (the deeds date back to 1800s) this charming, double bay fronted period property has retained many of the features. With the addition of up to date features the property provides a comfortable and practical home for everyday family life that is further complimented by a private 69' long rear garden with an enclosed double garage.
The property is approached via a wrought iron gateway with matching side fencing and stone boundary walls leading to a pathway to the front entrance door and onto the attached storage room.
The accommodation includes an entrance hallway providing access to all the living accommodation. The sitting room is particularly attractive, featuring a Georgian double glazed bay window to the front, plus an exposed stone fireplace with matt black wood burning stove.
The dining room across the hallway offers a double aspect overlooking the front garden and to the rear via Georgian glazed double doors leading directly onto the rear patio. The dining room also features a cast iron Victorian style fireplace. The kitchen is furnished with Oak fronted units and features an exposed stone fireplace with cast iron bread oven (non functional). There is a useful utility room off the kitchen which in turn leads to the newly created shower room with toilet.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and corner shower cubicle.
