4 bed detached house for sale

The Village, Burrington, Bristol, Somerset BS40

Brought to the market with the benefit of no onward chain. This four-bedroom detached property offers exceptional potential and scope, being offered for sale for the first time in over 100 years. Located in the desirable hamlet of Burrington, it features spacious rooms and a wonderfully generous garden, providing an ideal foundation for a family home. Further permissions are granted within the gardens to convert the detached garage into a two bedroom annex/cottage, perfect for those considering multi-generational living.

In brief the ground floor accommodation comprises entrance porch, kitchen/dining room, hallway, living room and drawing room/second reception room. The property has retained a wealth of period charms throughout and this is particularly evident in the two reception rooms situated towards the front of the home. With exposed beams and the most beautiful of inglenook fireplaces both create a true sense of 'cosy' country living room whilst still affording an incredibly impressive amount of floor space, ideal for modern family living. The drawing room enjoys the benefit of a brick built open fire nestled upon a flagstone hearth and in the sitting room you will find a wood burning stove with natural stone surround. Whilst the kitchen does require modernisation, the bare bones are there to demonstrate the potential available within this generously proportioned room. With views out over the rear garden and Mendip Hills beyond, the room focuses around a central chimney stack, with now decommissioned aga, good levels of solid wood wall, draw and base units along with additional space for freestanding white goods. Limited only by your own imagination, this room has every potential to create the farmhouse style kitchen typically found on the cover of Country Living magazine. Completing the ground floor, situated on a mezzanine level is a shower room that has been fitted to include walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom one, two and three are spacious double rooms in size, overlooking the village of Burrington itself, whilst bedroom four, a further double room enjoys an aspect over the rear garden. The family bathroom currently consists wood panelled bath, WC and pedestal sink.

While the bare bones of the property offer an exciting starting point, the home does need updating to reflect contemporary tastes, with potential to improve the kitchen, bathrooms, and interior finishes. With the right investment, this property can be transformed into a stunning dwelling.

Burrington is a picturesque village and civil parish in North Somerset, England, nestled on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Approximately 5 miles northeast of Axbridge and 10 miles east of Weston-super-Mare, it encompasses the hamlets of Bourne and Rickford. Additionally, Bristol International Airport and a mainline railway station at Yatton enhance the village’s connectivity. For outdoor enthusiasts, Burrington offers several walking trails, including routes through Burrington Combe and Burrington Ham, providing stunning views and opportunities to explore the local flora and fauna. One of the key attractions to the area is it's excellent schooling both state and private, primary and secondary. The village itself has a wonderful primary school, less than a minutes walk away, whilst Churchill Academy and Sixth Form is no more than 10 minutes drive and has recently been rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. Private schooling can be found nearby in Sidcot, Wells, Glastonbury/Street and Bristol. Being so close to The Mendips provides excellent walking and cycling trails both up onto Burrington Combe and out over to Blagdon and Chew Valley lakes, both of which are almost immediately on your doorstep. Many outdoor recreational pursuits are available as well, including caving (potholing) and Mendip Activities Centre Dry Ski slope, along with wonderful ‘hacking’ for those with equine needs. Overall, Burrington combines historical charm with natural beauty, making it a delightful destination for visitors and a tranquil setting for residents.

Outside is where this property truly comes into its own. On the Western boundary a shingled driveway provides off road parking for one car and leads both to the front and rear of the home. The remaining frontage has been enclosed by a natural stone wall and floral beds. On the Eastern Boundary iron gates open onto a concrete driveway leading up to the detached garage and outbuildings. Constructed in the early 1980's the garage has now been granted permission to convert into a two bedroom cottage/annex providing the opportunity for both multi-generational living or holiday let for those looking to retain an income from the home. Please refer to North Somerset Planning application ref ( 23/P/0423/ful) for further information. When considering the size of this approximately 0.56 acre plot, the two dwellings can very easily become entirely independent from one another should someone wish, whilst communal living in its current set up also remains an exciting possibility. The conversion provides the opportunity for an entirely separate entrance and gardens. Adjoining the driveway, is a further garage/outbuilding with stone wall archway leading into the rear garden. Once here you may well be hard pushed to want to leave as this really is unique. Level lawns and well stocked floral borders perfectly frame the beautifully uninterrupted and far reaching views over surrounding countryside and up onto the Mendip Hills area of outstanding natural beauty. A large raised patio abutts the rear of the home and provides a further seating area from which to enjoy these breath taking views and possibly the most idyllic of spots to sit back on a summers evening with a glass of your favourite tipple and take in all that surrounds you.
