Pitway Lane, Farrington Gurney, Bristol, Somerset, BS39

The property is a most delightful former Duchy farmhouse that is very attractively presented and is semi-detached, but very private. It is believed to date from 1707 with later additions and is Grade II listed. The present owner purchased the property 2008/2009 and has since sympathetically maintained and improved the property ensuring that its period character blends with modern day living. The rooms are well proportioned and light. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout.

There are many features appropriate to the period which include stone mullion windows, tessellated floor in the entrance hall, a combination of stripped wood and reclaimed wood floors on the ground floor, stone and brick fireplaces, beamed ceilings, and a flagstone floor in the utility room.

The central entrance hall gives access to the sitting room with beamed ceiling and open fire place, and to the cinema room with a stone chimney breast and fireplace, and fitted bar area. The spacious inner hall has a turning staircase rising to the first floor with gallery landing. The study/family room has a stone and brick fireplace fitted with a log burning stove, and all three reception rooms look south over the private gardens. The impressive full height kitchen/breakfast room, with vaulted ceiling and exposed ceiling truss, was refitted in 2019 with a bespoke design. It is comprehensively fitted, includes integrated appliances such as a larder fridge, two ovens including a combination microwave, two warming drawers, dishwasher, separate fridge and freezer, electric induction hob, and wine fridge. An electric AGA was installed in 2018.

There is a large island unit incorporating a breakfast bar. Folding doors open to the dining/garden room with atrium, a French door opens to the rear yard, and the original well is capped with a glazed cover. Off the kitchen is the very large utility room and a side entrance lobby opens to the outside and integral garage, with a converted room above providing an attic room. This wing provides flexibility in use as a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary consents.

All the bedroom accommodation is situated off the first floor landing, ideal for family living. Bedroom one is a very good size and has an en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room. Four of the five bedrooms have a lovely outlook over the garden.

It predominantly lies to the front of the house. It is private and enclosed by high mature mixed hedgerow. Immediately outside the front elevation is a combination of decking and flagstone bordered by climbing shrubs including roses, rockery, and summer house creating an ideal area for entertaining. There is a summer house and a jacuzzi. Around the garden are level lawns, pathways, many mature shrubs and tall mature trees intersperse the lawn, one with a tree house. There is a timber and tile bicycle/general store building with an adjoining timber and tile covered log store.
