Church Road, Bitton, Bristol

Discreetly positioned in the heart of Bitton village, this exceptional Grade II listed home combines timeless character with a refined, contemporary finish. Dating back to the 18th Century and once forming the kitchen and servants’ quarters to the adjacent Grange, “Granchen” has been thoughtfully restored to create a beautifully balanced home blending period detail with modern living.

The ground floor is centred around a striking sitting room, where original flagstone flooring, an impressive fireplace and French doors to both the front and rear gardens create a bright yet characterful space. From here, the layout flows into a well-proportioned dining room with garden access, and onto a stylish kitchen/breakfast room enhanced by a lantern skylight. A separate snug offers flexibility as a home office or additional reception, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the property offers three generous double bedrooms alongside a well-sized fourth bedroom, all served by a contemporary family bathroom with bath, walk in shower and twin basins. The lower ground floor provides a series of vaulted cellar rooms currently arranged as a wine cellar, pantry and utility space, adding both practicality and character.

Externally, the gardens are a standout feature. The rear garden is walled and private, with a level lawn, mature planting, vegetable patch, patio seating area, summer house and a secluded fire pit. The front garden is equally well established and includes a useful stone-built store, while access is via a covered car port.

Set along Church Road within a conservation area, the property enjoys a peaceful village setting close to St Mary’s Church, open countryside and walks along the River Avon. Bitton offers a range of amenities including a primary school, village shop and popular pub, while Bath, Bristol and Keynsham (with mainline links to London Paddington) are all within easy reach.
