Property description
Situated a moment away from the pretty market town of Thornbury, The Chalet House is accessed via electric double gates, with a majestic sweeping driveway flanked by mature Lime trees, and completely encircled by its own land, gardens and grounds approaching some 7 acres. The house has been meticulously refurbished and extended by the current owners, to present a unique opportunity; complete with underfloor heating and double glazed windows to the majority of the accommodation; and the creation of a leisure wing incorporating a stunning 12.5m indoor swimming pool. Outside, the grounds afford plenty of potential paddock space for the keen equestrian; complete with numerous outbuildings, garages and workshops for those looking to create an office space at home - or possibly convert subject to the usual consents. Internally, the house affords plenty of space, luxuriously converted with a Chalon kitchen and three beautiful reception rooms overlooking the grounds, complete with open fireplaces, and French doors leading from the drawing room to a covered veranda. In addition, there are two studies, and from the exquisite entrance hall there is access to a games room, orangery and secondary staircase to the upper floor. Upstairs, over the first floor, lie some seven double bedrooms. These are elegantly laid out and ideal for family living. The master bedroom is particularly generous enjoying a triple aspect, along with an en-suite bathroom. There is a further en-suite bathroom to the second bedroom, en-suite shower room to bedroom three and a separate family bathroom. Over the lower ground floor is a large kitchen and a separate sitting room - currently the childrens tv and games room. This floor would make ideal accommodation for an au pair, or potentially to convert as separate accommodation for a dependent relative. There is a separate shower room- and perhaps one of the most fun rooms in the house - a fully fitted pub. Outside, the house has a lovely paved patio - ideal for al fresco dining and directly accessed from the lower ground floor sitting room. This utilises the separate kitchen which is ideal for preparing family lunches and BBQs in the summer. The grounds wrap around to the orangery, and take in the superb views across the seven to Wales beyond. Flanking the driveway are expanses of lawn, which could make ideal paddocks, and unearthed within the grounds lies a former lime kiln - now turned into a garden folly surrounded by an elaborate water feature and ponds. There is a separate service drive leading up to various outbuildings and an agricultural barn. These could be converted to equestrian use, or subject to planning - potential separate accommodation. In addition, there is a double garage integrated within the house, further garaging, workshops and outbuildings - creating an ideal rural haven just a few miles from the outskirts of Bristol.
