Property description
Chantry House is situated in a lovely rural, although not isolated, setting just 10 minutes from Clifton Village and convenient for Bristol. It is approached over a tree lined drive and there are open views over adjoining farmland to the village church and also across to the Welsh coast. This is a beautiful and unique location, secluded and private but convenient for Bristol, Portishead and Nailsea. There are also many footpaths accessible directly from the lanes around Chantry House.
Chantry House dates from 1887 when it was built as the coach house to the adjacent rectory and St Bartholemew's Church, which lies opposite. It was converted in the 1970's and later extended. The present owner purchased the property in 2012 and has since carried out a number of attractive improvements which included installing and relocating the kitchen, replacing the bathrooms and shower room, and replacing some floors with American oak. The combination of stone walls, light oak floors and semi open plan design on the ground floor has created a warm and light atmosphere.
The dining hall has a wide stone archway and leads into the sitting room. A glazed door leads to a large outside courtyard. The study at the rear of the house overlooks the south facing garden. The bespoke kitchen/family room is superb. Integrated appliances include a range cooker, microwave, dishwasher and an island unit with a breakfast bar. From the sitting area large French doors and windows allow a lovely outlook along the drive and over countryside.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom with balcony has a view for miles to the east, to the Welsh coast, and south over farmland. The four further bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, have open views. The principal en suite bath/shower room, en suite shower room and family bath/shower room are all very well-appointed. Above this bedroom and bathroom there is an extensive storage loft which is accessed by sturdy loft steps
Outside
Chantry House is approached through electrically operated gates on stone piers and over a long tree lined drive with lawn on either side, leading to the front of the house. There is parking for a number of vehicles.
To the west of the house is a large private paved area which is ideal for entertaining. The part walled rear private garden is south facing and adjoins farmland with open views over countryside and across to woodland in the distance. Immediately from the rear of the house central steps lead up to lawn with a raised stone bed on either side planted with a variety of shrubs. There is an ornamental pond and a split level paved sitting area, with superb views. Immediately outside the breakfast kitchen, a pair of double French windows open to a further paved enclosed area.
In all the property extends to about 0.35 of an acre.
