Barrow Street, Barrow Gurney, Bristol

An utterly charming and entirely unique refurbished former chapel that combines the effortless appeal of period character features with the ease of modern living. Having been tastefully updated and sympathetically improved over the last 25 years, this remarkable, semi-rural home is rich in history and undeniable character and is set in over a 1/3 acre of private, landscaped gardens.

Extending to approx. 2,056 sq. ft of light filled and lovingly maintained accommodation, St Anne’s is bursting with unique internal features and stunning external architecture, whilst offering a well laid out and notably family friendly home. Believed to date back to 1904 and having been used as the chapel of convenience for the local community, the property sits proudly on an elevated plot in the popular village of Barrow Gurney.

The heart of the home is a truly fabulous sitting room which seamlessly blends the characterful original chapel windows with contemporary bi-folding doors. Laid with stylish oak flooring and measuring an exceptional 22x18ft, the spacious and versatile room is flooded with light, and benefits from a desirable log burner and level garden access. Adjacent to this is a cosy and flexible family room, which also lends itself as an inviting formal dining space. The beautifully appointed kitchen, breakfast room is located to the far end of the property and comprises a comprehensive range of elegant shaker style wall and base units, painted in Farrow & Ball, with luxurious granite worktops and a modern tiled splashback. Further benefits include exposed feature stonework, an attractive stable door overlooking the garden and useful integrated appliances. A neighbouring utility room is a practical feature and includes a discrete W/C.

Rising to the expansive first floor are four well-presented bedrooms. The master bedroom suite benefits from a sensational vaulted ceiling as well as a tasteful en-suite and useful walk-in-wardrobe, whilst the primary, triple aspect, guest bedroom is an inviting and generous space. A smart bathroom services the other bedrooms with beautiful garden views.

Externally, the serene and thoughtfully redesigned wraparound gardens are a delight. With a southerly orientated decked terrace and easterly orientated paved patio areas, the mature expanse of lawn contains a wildflower meadow and orchard, alongside mature blue cedar, birch, apple and pear trees, bordered by an attractive box hazel hedge. Further benefits include a double garage and private driveway as well as a rear parking area accessed from School Lane.

St. Anne’s is situated in the desirable village and civil parish of Barrow Gurney, which is home to an eclectic and charming array of residential homes, in what is believed to be a settlement dating back to early Medieval times. The village has fantastic access to a plethora of amenities in Long Ashton, Backwell and Nailsea whilst Bristol Airport and Bristol City are both within five miles. With excellent access to country bridleways, the Tyntesfield estate, David Lloyd health club and Chew Valley Lake, the house is ideally located to enjoy a genuine ‘best of both worlds’ lifestyle.
