Bath Road, Langford, Bristol, Somerset, BS40

A quite exceptional example of modern family living combined with an idyllic rural location, creating this unique and versatile home. The property has undergone extensive renovation works over recent years by the current owners, presenting the property to the highest of standards, ensuring it is turn key ready for whoever is lucky enough to make 'Laurel House' their new home. The property is set within circa 2.77 acres and benefits from a range of outbuildings, including stabling, as well as a self contained two bedroom annex. In total there is over 4000 sqft of internal accommodation that is set out in a convenient and flexible manner, meaning the opportunities provided by the house can be easily adapted to almost any individuals needs.



In brief, on the ground floor of the main residence we find:- entrance hallway, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, family room, utility and WC. One thing that is immediately apparent when visiting the home is the beauty of its period features which have been wonderfully intertwined with contemporary fittings, and that is immediately apparent when in the sitting room. Benefiting from a dual aspect to the both the front and rear of the home, the sitting room benefits from a feature UPVC double glazed bay window, solid Oak flooring and cast iron woodburning stove inset upon an iron fireplace with hearth surround. The room is bathed in natural light, but is also a wonderfully cosy spot to retire to in front of the fire on a winters evening. The kitchen has been impressively well stocked will an array of wall, draw and base shaker style units, granite works and complimentary tiled splash backs. Integrated appliances include gas hobs, twin eye level oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Space is available at the end of the room, nestled into one of the homes many bay windows, for a formal dining area, opening directly into the family room creating the ideal symmetry between the two spaces for those who like to entertain. With dual bi-folding doors opening out onto the meticulously manicured, westerly facing garden the family room brings together all that is exceptional about this home with it's connection between inside and out. A modern wood burning stove adds a rustic spin on this otherwise contemporary room, with solid Oak flooring fitted throughout. No country home is complete without a utility which rounds out the ground floor. Access is available from here out onto the rear garden whilst a convenient downstairs WC adjoins.

Heading upstairs this homes continues to get more and more impressive. Three incredibly well proportioned double bedrooms are all serviced by the own en-suite facilities, whilst all also benefiting from dual aspects overlooking the surrounding countryside. You could easily be mistaken for thinking you have stepped into a luxury hotel when viewing bedroom one, which has been dissected into three separate areas to create an incredibly impressive suite, comprising fitted out dressing area, sitting room, bedroom and exquisitely finished en-suite shower room, complete with walk in shower, freestanding bath, WC and wash hand basin.

On the second floor are two further double bedrooms, both with Velux skylights, enjoying views over the gardens and land comprising 'Laurel House'. A family bathroom services both bedrooms with bath, WC and vanity unit.

Words really do fail in doing justice to just how beautiful this property is both inside and out, therefore an in-person viewing is essential to truly appreciate all that is on offer.

The annex provides a fantastic opportunity to those looking for multi-generational living, whilst still retaining a degree of independence from each other with its clever configuration. Set out over the two floors the annex can be accessed via its own private entrance leading off the rear driveway. On the ground floor is a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bedroom one and shower room. French doors open from the kitchen out onto a raised patio and gardens beyond attached to the main house. The first floor consist galleried landing area, bedroom, dressing room/storage area and family bathroom. The annex provides fantastic versatility and provides options for multiple uses, allowing an individual to tailor the way in which they would live in this house to their own needs.


To the front of the property a block paved driveway wraps around on the eastern boundary, leading to the rear of the home, where we find a significant amount of off road parking, leading up to the detached triple garage. A unique feature of the garage is that it has been fitted with a kitchenette area, meaning a cup of tea is always easily to hand whilst tinkering away in the workshop. Continuing from the driveway post and rail fencing encloses an orchard, two paddocks and stabling, accessed via a timber five bar gate. The orchard enjoys an abundance of well stocked fruit trees including apple, plumb, pear and cherry. Paddock two features an ornamental pond, a favoured spot for the local wildlife, whilst paddock three is set upon a gentle incline leading up to the Mendip Hills (area of outstanding natural beauty) and surrounding woodland. From the top of the paddock, there is no better spot to sit back and survey the beauty of all that surrounds you.

On the western side of the property are the formal gardens and enclosed 'kitchen garden'. The garden has been predominately laid to lawn, with natural stone patio area and sleeper boarders abutting the side of the home, providing significant amounts of out door seating. The patio area continues to a detached garden room of wooden construction. Presently there is a hot tub and bar area fitted with patio doors opening our directly into the garden, the ideal spot to enjoy some outside entertaining all year round. A smattering of mature shrubbery and heading encloses the lawn and provides an abundance of floral colour throughout the year. With fenced boundaries on all sides, the 'kitchen garden' is perfect for the green fingered amongst us wanting to be self sufficient, whilst also finding themselves a quiet spot in which to potter around in.
