Occupying a striking position above the Avon Gorge, this detached thatched house stands within a Grade II Registered Park and Garden and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable character and restore it to its full potential. Set within approximately 1.35 acres of established woodland and grounds, the property enjoys an exceptional setting with the land falling away towards the dramatic wooded slopes of Nightingale Valley and the Gorge below. Of particular note is the traditional thatched roof, which contributes to the property's historic charm and distinctive appearance. Raynes Thatch now requires substantial refurbishment and restoration throughout, including the grounds and ancillary structures.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is split level. On the ground floor, there is a kitchen, utility room, principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom, together with two further bedrooms, each served by their own bathroom facilities.

The first floor is centred around an impressive reception room of substantial proportions, with a further reception room adjoining and a balcony providing an elevated outlook across the lake and woodland. Completing this floor are two further bedrooms, a bathroom and WC.

Outside, there are treehouses in disrepair, a garage and ancillary stores. The grounds were laid out between 1908 and 1910 by the celebrated rock and water garden specialists Pulham & Son, and their distinctive Pulhamite rockwork, pools, cascades and boathouse survive within the setting
