Manor Road, Saltford, BS31

Eastover Farmhouse is an attractive, attached stone built village home, set beneath a traditional pan-tiled roof. The approach sweeps to the front of the house, where an attractive garden complements the charming period façade. The predominantly front-facing gardens enjoy a good degree of privacy and border open fields, creating a delightful rural outlook. The ground floor accommodation is well balanced and flows naturally from a central hallway, with a sitting room to one side and a drawing room to the other, both featuring Victorian-style fireplaces. The drawing room enjoys a large window overlooking the garden, providing a particularly pleasant aspect. The adjacent dining room, with double doors opening onto the garden, leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with cream shaker style units, a green Aga, and views over the courtyard. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and a full wall of built-in wardrobes. There are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, along with a family bathroom, all enjoying attractive outlooks.

Outside

This wonderful home is approached via a sweeping driveway, bordered by lawn and rose beds, leading to a generous parking and turning area in front of the garage. A separate workshop provides useful additional space. The beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens are thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained. Set within approximately 3.5 acres, the grounds include level lawns, deep herbaceous borders, an orchard, a summer house, a pond, and native hedging with a gate opening onto a wildflower meadow and woodland. Created by the current owners, this stunning 2.5-acre meadow is an idyllic setting. A five-bar gate from the lane provides convenient additional access. To the rear, an additional walled courtyard lies off the kitchen/utility, offering ample space for alfresco dining, enhanced by attractive planting and a water feature.

Situation

Saltford is a large and highly regarded village, ideally positioned equidistant between the cities of Bath and Bristol. Manor Road is a particularly sought-after location, comprising a range of fine family homes set just off Grange Road. The property enjoys the best of both worlds, being adjacent to attractive countryside while remaining within a level walk of the village shops and regular bus services. The main village centre offers a good range of amenities, including The Crown public house, a Tesco Express, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, and restaurant. The older part of the village is home to the popular Bird in Hand country pub, while a picturesque lane leads down to The Jolly Sailor, a much-loved riverside pub with a delightful summer garden. Nearby, Saltford Golf Club and Saltford Marina provide further recreational appeal. A large Waitrose is only 1.5 miles away. The area is particularly popular with families due to its excellent schooling. Saltford Church of England Primary School is well regarded, with Wellsway Secondary School being especially sought after. The village is also well placed for a wide selection of highly regarded private schools in both Bath and Bristol. Both cities offer outstanding universities, with Bath Spa University located approximately three and a half miles away. There is a frequent bus service providing convenient access to the mainline railway stations at both Bath and Bristol.
