Stanton Wick, Pensford, Bristol, BS39

Parsons Farm is Grade II listed and is believed to date from the 17th century with 19th and 20th alterations and additions. It has a pretty front elevation with stone mullion windows and a central stone and tile porch all under a tiled roof.

The present owners purchased the property in 2011 and carried out a two year major restoration programme, including re-siting some of the ground floor accommodation to take advantage of the views and imaginatively converting a single storey milking barn to provide a superb principal bedroom suite, a first class home office/meeting room and a superb two bedroom self-contained annexe.

The property is immaculately presented. A contemporary style has been introduced in the magnificent kitchen with electric Aga, a hob and ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and electric Velux skylights and oak bi-fold doors opening to a terrace with stunning views. The converted barn is renovated to the hightest standards and is light and airy and includes a two bedroom self-contained annexe.

The original part of the house retains its charm, period features, and friendly atmosphere. The first floor has a bedroom with en suite bath/shower room and dressing room or further bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and en suite shower room. The second floor has two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed roof trusses.

The whole property has a mesh Wifi broadband system and both offices are Cat 5 wired.

OUTSIDE
The grounds are very well maintained and designed for low maintenance. Parsons Farm is approached through a gated entrance and over a gravel drive that sweeps around to a parking area providing parking for several cars in front of the west wing. There are gravel and stone pathways, stone walls, level lawns and mature trees. A central pathway in front of the house leading to the front door has Lavender borders, with lawn on either side each with a herbaceous bed.

The view at the rear of the property is panoramic and unspoilt over farmland. Immediately outside the kitchen is a terrace, ideal for entertaining, taking advantage of the view and to watch the setting sun. There are raised stone beds planted with flowering shrubs. Wide steps lead down to a large expanse of lawn and a ha-ha wall, in part, separating the garden from the adjoining paddock, which has a “field house” with decking. To the west of the paddock is a productive mixed orchard and a nut grove including Japanese walnut. On the opposite side of the lane, in front of Parsons Farm, is a productive mixed orchard hidden by high dense beech hedgerow. A second gated entrance drive to the east of the house provides additional parking.

Right of Way
A public footpath crosses over the paddock as shown on the site plan.

Parsons Farm is situated along a quiet country lane, conveniently situated between Bath, Bristol and Bristol airport. There are glorious views from the rear of the property overlooking the Chew Valley. Stanton Wick is a small village with a strong community and has a highly rated public house.
