Manor Road, Saltford, BANES, BS31

A charming period farmhouse set within idyllic gardens and grounds of approximately 3.5 acres.

Description

Eastover Farm is an attractive, stone-built period farmhouse, approached via a sweeping driveway that sets the tone for this delightful village home. The front gardens, with their lawns and mature planting, provide a welcoming first impression and a high degree of privacy, whilst the house itself enjoys a charming traditional façade.

Upon entering, a central hallway provides a natural flow through the ground floor. To one side lies the sitting room and to the other, a beautifully proportioned drawing room, both featuring characterful Victorian-style fireplaces and offering attractive views across the gardens. The drawing room, in particular, is filled with natural light from a large window that frames the green outlook. Moving through, the dining room is perfectly positioned for entertaining, with double doors opening directly onto the garden and leads seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted in a classic shaker style, complete with a green Aga and views across the courtyard, creating a warm and practical hub of the home. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook and benefits from an en-suite bathroom and extensive built-in wardrobes. There are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying attractive views, along with a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.

Externally, the property excels. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and predominantly south-facing, incorporating level lawns, well-stocked herbaceous borders, a summer house and a pond. Beyond lies an orchard and an impressive wildflower meadow, extending to approximately 2.5 acres, together with areas of attractive woodland. A garage and separate workshop provide excellent additional space, whilst a rear walled courtyard accessed from the kitchen and utility room offers a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
