Denys Court, Olveston, South Gloucestershire, BS35

A substantial village home in an enviable setting, with a first-floor balcony overlooking protected land to the rear - part of the Olveston Conservation Area adjoining Olveston Court, a scheduled ancient monument and listed building. This unique split-level detached house offers a fantastic opportunity to personalise and update for 21st century living. Appearances are deceiving, the front elevation belies all the space inside. This is set out over three levels, centerd around an airy hallway. The main living room, with fireplace, opens out on to the balcony at the rear and internally looks over the lower dining room with its patio doors to the side terrace. The modern kitchen/breakfast room has a breakfast bar and a useful utility room to the side. The principal bedroom and en-suite bathroom are on the first floor, benefitting from lovely views behind. Three further bedrooms and the family bathroom are down below on the lower ground floor. Practical benefits include Upvc double-glazing and gas central heating. There is an integral double garage with an internal door to the porch and there is off-street parking in front. The front gardens are open-plan to Denys Court and a side gate opens onto a private terrace with steps down to a further patio area below. This connects to the lawned area with the stream bubbling along at the bottom, bordering the field behind. There is a further side garden where there is a useful greenhouse and a lean-to garden shed attached the rear of the house. Something quite special - don't miss out!
