Burnt House is a wonderful stone cottage sitting in a valley in Somerset, still just ten minutes drive from Clifton in Bristol. The property is a 19th century cottage which has been refurbished and extended recently. The accommodation is spread over two stories and comprises reception hall, sitting room, open plan kitchen, dining/family room with Aga & conservatory, plus a cloakroom and utility room, master bedroom suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside are extensive grounds which have stabling, a hay store, ménage and paddocks. The formal gardens are level with fruit trees and a sunken terrace beyond the conservatory for outside dining. All in all the land comes to around four and a half acres.
On the cusp of the city, this property has the unusual benefit of being within 10 minutes of the city, but completely rural. Nearby Abbots Leigh has a thriving parish church, a pub and there are plenty of farm shops selling organic produce nearby. There are good links to the M5, Bristol is minutes away and there are lots of quality independent schools in the area.
The guide price is £950,000. For further information please contact Savills on 0117 933 5800 or visit www.savills.co.uk/
