6 Bedroom Country House for sale in Bristol

4 6 4

A beautiful traditional Somerset farmhouse within an idyllic village location providing a fantastic family home as well as a notable income stream from guest/holiday accommodation. Stunning landscaped gardens surrounded by beautiful open countryside.

Summary - Burrington Farm is nestled away in an elevated position overlooking the vale of Wrington within the village on the very edge of the Mendip Hills that forms a nationally acclaimed and recognised area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). The location of Burrington Farm and the village itself provides breathtaking open views and fantastic recreational value.
The property is a traditional Somerset longhouse that dates back to the 15th Century, adorned with stunning features including flagstone floors, elm doors, oak beams and open fireplaces to name but a few. The hub of this exceptional home is a big farmhouse kitchen, complete with a welcoming Aga. It is evident how much the vendors have loved living at Burrington Farm having resided here for forty-three years. During this tenure, Burrington Farm has proved to be the ideal property in which to raise a family, entertain friends and create a much-applauded guest house that has attracted a loyal following and many independent accolades over the years. The guest accommodation comprises two barns at the rear of the property that are arranged as luxury, self-catering holiday with associated formal usage. A third barn, The Garden Room, has historically been used as additional bed and breakfast accommodation as well.
Outside are beautifully tended, well stocked gardens and terraces with the principal area being a former tennis court lawn that is next to an outside swimming pool. These gardens are simply delightful with open skies and countryside views yet also allowing a good deal of privacy given the elevation of the site. A gated driveway leads to an inner courtyard that provides plenty of visitors parking whilst there is ample further car parking space behind the furthest barn. The overall plot size (including the house and barns) surmounts to just under an acre (about 0.808 of an acre or 0.326 HA).
In our opinion, Burrington Farm will appeal to those that are looking to combine a refreshing rural lifestyle alongside an attractive income or perhaps investigating a change of use for a family consolidating the generations, given the additional accommodation. The barns could equally work well (again, subject to consent) as either studios or staffed workspaces helped greatly by the proximity to Bristol and Bath.

Location - The North Somerset hamlet of Burrington is held in extremely high regard with its own village square, very popular primary school and the quintessentially English ancient church of Holy Trinity. The neighbouring village of Rickford has the Plume of Feathers Public House that has served the local community for over two hundred years. Burrington also offers one of the most popular primary schools in North Somerset, church and social facilities. A more comprehensive range of shops available at the nearby villages of Churchill and Wrington. There is a large, modern medical practice in Churchill and a handy petrol station and supermarket close by. Secondary schooling is situated in Churchill, Sidcot and Wells. Bristol International Airport is within five miles, and central Bristol around thirteen miles. The national motorway network can be reached via junction 21 of the M5 which is about nine miles distant and mainline railway services within seven miles at Yatton (with links to London Paddington from 114 mins). The surrounding countryside and Mendip Hills (a designated an area of outstanding natural beauty) is accessible quite literally off the doorstep, proving a popular destination for those that walk, ride, sail, fish and play golf.
