About the Property.
The Old Rectory is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian house dating from the late 1700s, occupying a particularly special position beside the village green in Hinton Blewett. With its attractive period architecture, generous proportions and mature surroundings, it is a property with real presence, yet it remains warm and comfortable rather than feeling overly formal. Traditional features, including sash windows and fireplaces, add to the character and sense of history throughout the house.
The house has been carefully updated over the years, retaining much of its original character while providing the space and flexibility expected of a modern home. A series of well-proportioned reception rooms, a country-style kitchen, generous bedroom accommodation and a range of additional spaces provide plenty of scope for both relaxed family living and entertaining. With over 8,000 sq. ft. of accommodation in total, there is also considerable flexibility for home working, hobbies and visiting family and friends.
There is also an impressive indoor heated swimming pool, a separate two-bedroom annexe and extensive mature gardens approaching an acre. The annexe provides considerable flexibility for guests, extended family or home working, while the gated driveway and generous parking further enhance the practicality of the property. The option to rent adjoining fields and equestrian facilities gives The Old Rectory an unusual degree of versatility, particularly for those with equestrian or countryside interests.
Its position is equally appealing. Set at the heart of one of the Chew Valley's most attractive villages, the house is close to the village church, green and Ring O' Bells, while the established gardens provide a peaceful and private setting. The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking and enjoying rural life, yet Bristol, Bath and Wells are all within easy reach, making this a particularly appealing combination of village living, countryside and accessibility.
With its impressive architecture, generous and adaptable accommodation, leisure facilities, annexe and mature grounds, The Old Rectory offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village home with considerable character and flexibility in a beautiful Chew Valley setting. Offered with no onward chain, it is a distinctive country property equally suited to family life, entertaining and enjoying everything the surrounding area has to offer.
About the Inside.
From the moment you step inside, The Old Rectory has a wonderful sense of space and character. The rooms are well connected, yet each has its own feel, creating a layout that works equally well for quieter days at home or entertaining friends and guests.
The entrance hall leads naturally into the principal reception rooms. The drawing room is an elegant space overlooking the gardens, while the adjoining sitting room offers a more relaxed setting with direct access outside. The library is tucked away from the main living areas and provides a comfortable space for reading, working or simply enjoying some quiet time.
The dining room sits within the older part of the house and is particularly well suited to entertaining. From here, the accommodation flows through to the kitchen, which forms the centre of the house. Fitted with Smallbone cabinetry, granite worktops and an Aga set within an inglenook, it is complemented by a breakfast room opening onto the courtyard. A separate pastry kitchen provides useful additional space, particularly when preparing for larger gatherings.
A back hall, cloakroom, cellar access and secondary staircase complete the main ground floor.
Beyond the kitchen is a versatile room currently used as a gym, although it could be returned to garaging if required. This leads through to the indoor swimming pool, complete with changing area, shower and WC.
The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors. The principal bedroom is a generous and peaceful room, with open views, dressing area and a well-appointed bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned, offering plenty of flexibility for guests, family or those requiring additional space.
One bedroom has an adjoining room which could be used as a nursery, dressing room, study or private sitting room. The top floor also has a kitchenette and shower room, offering a useful degree of independence for guests, older children or live-in help.
About the Annexe.
The separate two-bedroom annexe sits alongside the main house and provides a versatile and largely self-contained addition to the property. With its own entrance, open-plan living space and kitchen, together with two bedrooms, it offers a good degree of independence from the main accommodation.
The annexe would be particularly well suited to visiting guests or extended family, providing comfortable accommodation with their own private space while remaining close to the main house. Equally, it could be ideal for older children, staff accommodation or those looking for a separate home office or living arrangement.
Its self-contained nature could also lend itself to the possibility of an additional income stream, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Overall, the annexe provides valuable flexibility, and a range of potential uses to suit the requirements of the next owner.
About the Outside.
The gardens are a real extension of the house, with just under an acre of mature grounds providing a peaceful and private setting.
Electric gates open onto a gravel driveway with ample parking, while established walls and planting give the gardens a good degree of privacy. A walled courtyard sits alongside the house and provides an attractive spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond the courtyard, lawns and mature planting extend towards the surrounding countryside, with different areas to enjoy throughout the year. The combination of established gardens and open views gives the property a wonderfully tranquil feel despite its central village position.
For those with equestrian interests, adjoining fields and associated facilities may also be available to rent by separate arrangement.
About the Area.
Hinton Blewett is one of the Chew Valley's most attractive villages, centred around its village green, church and the Ring O' Bells. The Old Rectory is ideally positioned within the village, with these amenities close by while its gardens provide a wonderfully private setting.
The surrounding Chew Valley is known for its beautiful countryside, attractive villages and relaxed pace of life. At the same time, Bristol, Bath and Wells are all within easy reach, making the area particularly appealing for those looking to enjoy a rural setting without feeling too far removed from the wider region.
The Old Rectory combines the scale and character of an important period house with the comfort and flexibility needed for modern living, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a substantial village home in a particularly attractive part of the Chew Valley.
