Brockley Hall, Brockley Lane, Bristol BS48

THE PROPERTY
Brockley Hall which is Grade II listed, has its origins dating back to the 16th century. The whole building was substantially transformed in the Greek Revival style in the 1820’s but it is essentially Georgian in character. The main house was divided into four houses in the late 1980’s.

Sherdle House occupies principally the north wing with an east aspect. The accommodation is arranged over four floors with an elegant period staircase hall leading to all levels with floors accessed through double doors, off the staircase call. Period features appropriate to the period remain including period fireplaces, shuttered windows, and simple and ornate ceiling cornices.

The drawing and dining room are lovely rooms with high ceilings and shuttered windows overlooking the garden. The drawing room has a marble fireplace fitted with a log burning stove and the dining room has an open fireplace and shuttered windows. The majority of floors throughout the house are laid with Teak and the drawing and dining rooms are laid with especially imported Iroko with marquetry style design. The breakfast kitchen also overlooks the garden.

On the first floor is a study area, two bedrooms, and bath/shower room and shower room and on the second floor, are four further bedrooms, en suite bathroom and cloak room with sauna. The lower ground floor has a playroom/utility, the cinema/gym which opens to the garden, and cloakroom. A door from the hall opens out to the front of the house.

OUTSIDE
Brockley Hall is approached between tall stone pillars and over a sweeping drive. The approach continues to two garages and two parking spaces owned by Sherdle House. The rear garden which has a west and east aspect is principally laid to a large expanse of lawn with boundaries of well established tall mixed bushes and matures trees, creating privacy.

Brockley Hall is set in a most attractive park-like setting and is approached over a long drive. There are views to the south across to Brockley woods and to the north across countryside towards the National Trust property of Tynesfield.
