Just moments from the peaceful hamlet of Shortwood, the property enjoys a rare blend of countryside tranquillity and everyday convenience. Nearby Pucklechurch, Downend and Emersons Green offer shops, cafs, pubs and essential services, while excellent schools and nurseries are close at hand. The A4174 provides quick access to the M4, M5 and M32, and Bristol Parkway Station a 15–20 minute drive. With beautiful walks on the doorstep and superb transport links nearby, the location perfectly complements the elegance and privacy of this exceptional farmhouse. Set in an enviable position surrounded by countryside, this distinguished Victorian style farmhouse stands proudly on an exceptionally generous plot and offers a rare combination of grandeur, history and future potential. Retaining a wealth of original character including original style internal doors, ornate coving and classic picture rails, the property has been cherished by the same family for over 60 years and now presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a truly remarkable home. A bright and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the spacious accommodation, leading to a generous dining room overlooking the beautifully mature front garden and a dual aspect lounge that enjoys views across both the front and rear grounds. From the hall, stairs descend to the cellar, while the farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room flows into a rear lobby with access to a cloakroom/utility room and the self-contained two storey annexe. The impressive first floor landing provides access to well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate WC and a further entrance to the annexe, which offers flexible multi generational living with its own lounge featuring a coal burner, kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom cleverly divided into two areas. The grounds are a true highlight, thoughtfully landscaped by the owner’s husband who worked in garden design after returning from the Navy and now offering a tapestry of mature planting, sweeping lawns and charming features. To the front, a generous lawn and gated driveway create an inviting approach, while to the left lies a delightful rose garden, fruit trees including both eating and cooking apples, and a productive vegetable plot with raised beds and a polytunnel. To the right, further lawned areas are framed by established shrubs and provide access to the enclosed outdoor swimming pool and a coach house with exciting potential for conversion, subject to planning. At the rear, a substantial barn with vaulted ceiling, power, light and a working fireplace opens to dog kennels and sits alongside a further gated driveway leading to a double and single garage, all accessed via a private lane between 207 and 209 Shortwood Hill. A tranquil pond with water feature completes the setting, with private seating area positioned directly behind the farmhouse and enhancing the sense of peace and privacy. In need of sympathetic updating but offering exceptional scope, this is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire a significant period home with extensive grounds, versatile outbuildings and endless potential in a truly idyllic countryside location.
