The Street, Alveston, South Gloucestershire, BS35

Just imagine the many family histories this wonderful home has witnessed over the centuries! Grade II Listed and dated 1628 over the front door, it is a period house of note with a detailed and illustrated entry within ‘The Rural Houses of North Avon & South Gloucestershire 1400-1720’. It is situated just inside The Street, a country lane leading away from the main body of the village on the opposite side of the A38, with rural rambles right from the front gate and along the footpath that runs within the boundary. The farmhouse sits at the head of a plot of circa 4.25 acres*, including private walled gardens, open fields to the left and rear, plus an arena/menage and stabling. It is full of character with many interesting features including studded doors, a wood-panelled ‘parlour’, mullion windows, open fireplaces, 'newel' stairs, exposed beams and flagstones. The accommodation is set out over three floors and includes six bedrooms, four receptions and a lovely farmhouse kitchen - plus a cellar below. In addition there is a separate self-contained, one-bedroom, two-storey annexe - perfect for a dependent relative or as an additional source of income. Across the yard is a substantial block and steel barn housing the stabling, an adjoining single-storey barn to the side, plus a garage and store. A great equestrian set-up, with plenty of turning space and room for horse-boxes/transport. All within walking distance of village shops and schools, both primary and secondary. * NB. Street Farm is presented as two Lots, to be sold as a whole. The Vendors are considering an overage on Lot 2, please ask for more information.
