About the Property.
Originally built circa 1860 and meticulously restored just seven years ago, The Coach House is an exceptional home that offers the perfect balance of historic character and modern sophistication, all set within approximately five and a half acres of manicured grounds and commanding panoramic views across the Chew Valley and Chew Valley Lake.
About the Inside.
Upon entering, you are immediately drawn into the heart of the home, which is a vast, open-plan kitchen and entertaining space designed for modern living and effortless hosting. Expansive glass doors and picture windows frame uninterrupted, 360-degree views of rolling countryside, flooding the space with natural light.
The bespoke kitchen features high-end fittings, a generous island, a separate pantry, and seamless flow into the dining and lounge areas. Exposed oak beams, a wood-burning stove, and direct access to the expansive lawns and south facing terraces create a warm and inviting environment, perfect for both intimate evenings and grand gatherings.
A secondary entrance leads to a substantial utility and boot room, a contemporary shower room, and a bright secondary reception space. Steps descend to a fully tanked cellar which is an ideal wine store or tasting room, adding another layer of charm and practicality to this distinguished home.
The first floor hosts four beautifully appointed bedrooms, three of which feature luxurious en-suites, blending comfort with elegance. A striking mezzanine study offers a serene workspace, with breathtaking views of Chew Valley Lake and views stretching across the valley.
Sustainability and comfort are at the heart of this home, with underfloor heating throughout, an air source heat pump, solar panels, and private compliant drainage ensuring modern efficiency without compromise.
