Sundayshill Lane, Rockhampton, GL13

This stunning conversion is secreted away in the countryside to the north of the market town of Thornbury, over the hillside to the east of M5 J14 in the Berkeley Vale. It shares a private driveway with two other rural dwellings, its own personal grounds extending to circa 1.28 acres. Character and style in abundance, The Cider Barn offers expansive living space, with multiple options for bedrooms and home-working combinations - room for a busy family to spread out and enjoy their interests both inside and out. The beautifully fitted hand made bespoke kitchen/dining room (with 'Aga') runs front to rear, with a door to a lovely outdoor seating area and country views at one end, plus French doors at the other onto the main garden. The superb vaulted living space is again dual-aspect, with French doors, a wood-burning stove and a split-level 'snug' for relaxing in front of a movie perhaps. There is also a separate family room. There are twin staircases affording separation internally, plus a detached 'annexe' across the shared driveway - combining covered parking, workshop space, a shower room and an additional room above. Bedroom numbers depend on how you would prefer to use the rooms, a minimum of four, plus two en-suite shower rooms and a fabulous family bathroom. The gardens are a real delight - stepping outside, across the al-fresco dining area featuring the original stone cobble circle once used in cider production, and past the lavender bushes, sweeping lawns stretch down to a gap in the mature hedgerow, with the wooden barn and the field just beyond. Country walks start at the end of the driveway, with local byways and rambles just waiting to be discovered - a unique and very special home!
