Detached house for sale in Redhill, Bristol BS40

The Property
Merryhill Farm has been in the same family for over 150 years and ceased to be a working farm in the mid 1960's. Stone and tiled outbuildings belonging to the farm have since been sold off and attractively converted, away from the farmhouse.

The original farmhouse, Merryhill Farm, occupies a stunning position and the end of a private approach with extensive south facing views across open countryside to the Mendip Hills.

The property is extremely well-presented and in more recent years, a self contained wing either side of the main house have been created and are presented in the same condition of the house. The west wing and annexe are currently let but either of both could easily become reinstated accommodation of the main house, if desired.

The house is believed to date from the mid 1700's. There is an old inglenook fitted with a stone fireplace and chimney breast in the sitting room and double doors lead into the garden room with flagstone floor. The dining room has French doors opening out to the garden with superb views.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a beamed ceiling and is fitted with Smallbone wood units and appliances include cooker, dishwasher and fridge. A large utility room serves as a boot room and laundry room. The first floor, all with lovely views, has an excellent principal bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and a well appointed bath/shower room. There are three further bedrooms and a well fitted en suite shower room and a family shower room.

Adjoining Annexe
The self-contained annexe can be approached internally from the main house but has its own front door into an entrance hall. The ground floor has an open plan kitchen fitted with appliances leading into a sitting room. Double doors open into the dining room which opens into the garden. Off the dining room is a study. There is a bedroom on the ground floor with a further bedroom with en suite bathroom on the first floor.

Adjoining Wing
The accommodation can be approached internally from the main house but also from outside into an entrance hall on the ground floor which also has a bathroom. The first floor has a sitting room, fitted kitchen and bedroom.

Both the annexe and the wing have lovely open views and are presented to the same high standard as the main house.

Grounds and Paddock
Merryhill Farm is approached over a long drive giving access to a large area of gravel and hard standing allowing parking for many vehicles. A stone and tiled garage and carport block lies adjacent to the house with the single garage having toughened glass sliding door. Beside the gravel area is a 43' stone and tile single storey outbuilding. Behind is an enclosure laid to hardcore, providing an excellent location for stables, subject to any planning consents.

The low maintenance gardens, with stunning open views to the Mendip Hills, are laid to level lawn interspersed with trees. There is an ornamental natural pond with bulrushes, a willow tree and an Artic Cabin summer house with central internal barbecue.

In all the property extends to about 0.97 acres.

Lot II
Lot II is a level field adjoining the garden to the south with panoramic views to the Mendip Hills which has vehicular access from the main entrance drive and of the lane on the southern boundary. A gate gives access to a further field which is also accessible from the yard by the outbuilding. Lot II totals in all about 11.34 acres.
