Wellsway, Keynsham, Bristol

An exceptional and richly characterful Grade II Listed former farmhouse, believed to date back to the 17th century, offering approximately 3,900 sq ft of beautifully appointed and highly versatile accommodation. Sympathetically extended and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, the property seamlessly blends period charm with modern practicality. A wealth of original features has been carefully preserved, including exposed ceiling timbers, natural stone walls, a striking inglenook fireplace, flagstone flooring and deep-set window sills, all combining to create a home of real character and presence.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming reception hallway, leading to an impressive principal reception room with inglenook fireplace, while a bespoke, hand-crafted kitchen/dining room, complete with electric Aga, forms the heart of the home and enjoys direct access to the garden. Two further reception rooms, a utility room, a three-piece bathroom and a separate shower room provide excellent flexibility for both family living and entertaining. To the first floor, the property offers six well-proportioned bedrooms, four of which benefit from far-reaching views across the rear garden and adjoining open countryside. The principal accommodation adjoins a dressing room that leads to a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a roll top bath and generous walk in shower.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. To the front, a stone driveway accessed via a dropped kerb provides ample off-street parking and leads to a double garage. The rear garden extends to over 40 metres (131 ft) in length and enjoys a sunny westerly aspect. Thoughtfully landscaped into a series of distinct areas, it includes a formal raised garden with level lawn and flagstone terrace, a gravelled seating area perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding views, and a main lawn that gently slopes to the lower garden. Here, there is a covered seating area, ornamental pond, vegetable plot and a timber summerhouse. The gardens are fully enclosed and richly planted with mature trees and well-stocked borders, while a range of outbuildings provide excellent storage and recreational space.

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic home in the heart of the market town of Keynsham, ideally placed to enjoy a wealth of independent retailers, well regarded primary and secondary schools, a Waitrose supermarket, and excellent transport links. The nearby mainline railway station provides convenient access to Bristol and Bath, as well as direct services to London Paddington, making this an ideal setting for families and commuters alike.
