This wonderful home is set in a truly idyllic rural location, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside in the heart of the Chew Valley. The house has a most attractive, well balanced façade and is approached via a long driveway that passes beyond the front paddock, tennis court and well screened swimming pool, to a generous parking area beside the property with a double car port. Whilst the house would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it is a very special and well loved family home that offers comfortable family accommodation of circa 3209 sq ft with potential to create yet further habitable space (subject to planning approval) in the stone built barn to the front.

A pathway from the drive leads beside the elegant box hedge parterre to the central porch with an inner hallway and two almost symmetrical reception rooms to either side. Exposed ceiling beams and working fireplaces add character to the home and the Aga kitchen is a relaxed area for informal daily dining with a separate utility and cloakroom beside the rear doorway. A second sitting room/snug is currently used as a home office, ideal for those that work from home, with up to seven bedrooms over the first and second floors, one of which could be used as a second study if required.

The grounds that surround Pit Farm are a significant part of the charm of the house and will appeal to equestrian buyers or simply to those families seeking to enjoy country living without sacrificing the close proximity of Bristol, good schooling or the nearby airport. Beyond the sunny front terrace lies a large area of level lawn, safely separated from the heated outdoor swimming pool which is sheltered by a tall neatly clipped hedge with the tennis court to the far side.

The far paddock and the one that rises to the west of the house are delightful areas, commanding far reaching views to the distant hillsides and a there is a generous kitchen garden to the rear of the house with a large brick and timber greenhouse. A gently running stream to the far side of the driveway attracts a good deal of wildlife and a further parcel of land extends to the far side.

Although we are informed that it is very rarely used, it should be noted that a public footpath leads from the driveway and through the stable yard which features 4 loose boxes, a workshop, woodstore and a sizeable open barn.

Without any doubt, an exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase a home in a such a picturesque and beautiful country setting.
