4 bed detached house for sale

Walton Street, Walton-In-Gordano, Clevedon, Somerset BS21

Parsonage Hayes is an attractive Victorian family home with a wealth of period features, including tessellated, quarry tile and timber floors, ceiling cornices, picture rails and original fireplaces, some with marble surrounds. The property has been significantly improved by the current owners, including the installation of a brand new kitchen with central island, complete redecoration throughout, the creation of a larger all-weather arena with floodlights and all-weather sand surface, the installation of solid timber electric double gates and horse-friendly stock-proof boundary fencing. The house enjoys superb views across its own grounds and beyond to surrounding farmland and woodland. Both the sitting room and kitchen/dining room feature bay windows that maximise these outlooks and benefit from marble fireplaces. The snug also features a fireplace with a log-burning stove, while French doors open directly onto the gardens. All four bedrooms enjoy similarly far-reaching views.
Outside

Parsonage Hayes is approached via a shared private drive and is discreetly hidden from the road behind solid timber electric double gates. The driveway passes the front of the house and leads to a large parking area adjacent to the stable block, which comprises three stables and a tack room. Behind the stable block is a timber hay barn. Vehicular access continues to the all-weather arena (approximately 35x45 metres) with floodlights, situated to the north of the house. In this area there is private pedestrian access through woodland to Walton Common. Tucked away in a secluded setting is a Shepherd's Hut, currently operated as a successful AirBnB let. The gardens lie principally to the south and west and enjoy sunshine throughout the day. There are extensive lawns interspersed with mature and ornamental trees, together with well-stocked shrub borders and a stone-built barbecue. The decking area is accessed directly from both the sitting room and snug through double doors, making it ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The land

The land is divided into four paddocks, one of which benefits from a field shelter. Two paddocks have automatic drinking supplies and all have shaded areas. A belt of woodland/copse lies along the north-eastern boundary.
