Description
Description
Tockington House is an impressive and substantial village residence extending to 5,239 sq ft, with an additional 1,754 sq ft of garaging, barns, and outbuildings. Set within glorious, private grounds of approximately 4.03 acres and enjoying open countryside to the rear, this exceptional home offers peace, space, and versatility, all within easy reach of Bristol and excellent transport links.
Approached via a long, gated private driveway, the house has a commanding entrance with parking for numerous vehicles and a triple garage, above which lies a sizeable room — ideal for a home office, studio, annexe, or income-generating accommodation. Full planning permission was granted in 2021 (P21/02766/F) for a separate dwelling within the grounds, further enhancing its appeal to those considering multi-generational living. There is a secondary driveway set to the west side of the property.
Dating originally to circa 1972, Tockington House has undergone several thoughtful extensions and remodelling projects (in 2000, 2005, 2013, and 2014), including a stunning galleried entrance hall with vaulted ceiling — a true centrepiece that sets the tone for this beautiful home.
The accommodation is both extensive and well balanced, with generously proportioned rooms and excellent natural light throughout. The ground floor offers three reception spaces, including a superb 3/4 glazed garden room with wood-burning stove, enjoying panoramic garden views. This is accessed through the open-plan 35'7" sitting/dining room featuring a Jetmaster fire set in a carved Bath stone surround. The kitchen, centred around a traditional Aga and granite worktops, is spacious enough for everyday dining, while a large utility room provides ample further storage.
A separate wing to the far side of the house incorporates a snug, ground floor shower room, and fifth bedroom — ideal as an annexe or for visiting guests with its own private entrance. A good size home office overlooking the entrance driveway is accessed from the impressive main hallway.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is particularly noteworthy, boasting a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a private balcony overlooking the gardens and countryside and a large walk-in wardrobe with additional eaves storage. Three further double bedrooms and stylish bathrooms complete the first floor.
The gardens at Tockington House are simply enchanting. Landscaped and lovingly maintained over many years, they offer wide expanses of lawn, mature deciduous trees,and an excellent entertaining terrace. A heated outdoor swimming pool with an adjacent pool house/gym, a hot tub, and two large greenhouses complement this idyllic outdoor lifestyle. Herb and vegetable beds offer further appeal to keen gardeners. Beyond the gardens, a 3 acre paddock includes a timber barn, a stone built byre which may present further development potential, subject to necessary planning consents.
