A magnificent stone built country house and estate with origins dating back to circa 1871 and with later Edwardian influences. Failand Hill House has evolved significantly during the lengthy tenures of the occupants and enjoys an unrivalled position. Standing amongst established gardens, there are extensive grounds, stables and a tennis court with unrivalled elevated views extending across the immediate countryside and to the Bristol Channel.

Bathed in natural light and with high ceilings and plenty of original detail, the property is approached via the significant Edwardian entrance porch and leads through to the large and welcoming reception hall.
