Description
Hazel Farm is situated along a country lane surrounded by the Chew Valley countryside, between Winford and Chew Magna, only about 4 miles from Chew Valley Lake. Although the property dates back to the 1500/1600's it is believed that a house has been on the site since the 11th century.
The present owner purchased the property in 1999 when in need of considerable modernisation. It has since been carefully and sympathetically renovated, restoring all features appropriate to its period. There are flagstone floors, window shutters, stone mullion windows and window seats, beamed ceilings, as well as stone and period fireplaces. The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere and all rooms have a lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside.
The sitting room and dining room are both striking rooms, each with a large stone inglenook fireplace. The dining room fireplace has the original salt oven. The farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an Aga and there is a walk in larder. Between the sitting room and dining room is a butler's pantry.
The family room / home office has a secondary staircase and provides scope, together with one or two of the bedrooms above, of creating a self-contained wing.
The garden room, off the kitchen/breakfast room has reclaimed oak floor boards, double glazed windows along the main elevation and opens to a pretty garden looking across the lane to a small orchard, owned by the property. The garden room links to a second entrance, utility room and shower room.
On the first floor the 19' principal bedroom, with period fireplace has three aspects looking over its grounds. There are four further bedrooms, family bathroom and a shower room.
Outside, Hazel Farm is approached over a large concrete yard around which are grouped an excellent range of outbuildings, incorporating stables, most of which are stone built. Across the yard is a detached outbuilding comprising six indoor stables and turn out pen, an adjoining barn, feed store and tack room. Opposite, is a detached stable block comprising four stables.
Adjoining the farmhouse, is a long stone and tile barn with first floor storage, two adjoining pony stables, and lean-to stone building/gym. A further two storey stone and tile barn is attached to the house as is a stone and tile boiler/boot room.
From the courtyard, a farm gate gives access to the attractive gardens. There is a gravel, part walled, sitting area, ideal for entertaining immediately outside the house, and a large level expanse of lawn which adjoins the paddock known as 'Buttercup Field' and a small paddock. A further farm gate opens to the informally planned main garden, designed as an English country garden, with a wide wood chip pathway and post and rail fencing, separating the two paddocks from the garden.
The garden has deep shaped borders planted with many flowering shrubs, a large lawn interspersed with a variety of established trees and sculptured hedgerows. Beyond, is the kitchen garden with four shaped beds and a watercress pond, believed to be Mediaeval. The wood chip pathway continues down to a natural garden with small lake and central island with a Weeping Willow. This area also gives access to the 'Buttercup Field'.
On the opposite side of the single track lane, immediately in front of the garden room, is a small orchard.
In all the property extends to about 3.95 acres.
Plans have been prepared and approved at pre-application stage for conversion of some of the outbuildings into three offices and three holiday letting units. Plans are available for inspection.
Owing to our commitment to keep both our colleagues and clients safe, we have many guided virtual viewing options available to you. These include video walkthroughs, 360 virtual reality tours and enhanced comprehensive photography, our teams will be happy to walk you through.
