Externally


Approached via a sweeping driveway, the house stands in stunning, well tended gardens of some 8.5 acres, offering an extensive range of flowers, shrubs, bushes, ornamental and fruit trees (apple, plum, pear and damson) – quite surprising for a property so close to Bath. The large terrace is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the fabulous aspect and outlook over the gardens which face principally south and adjoin Duchy of Cornwall farmland.

There is a wonderful well stocked spring-fed lake with a central ‘duck’ island, a young orchard comprising both eating and cider apple trees with a large timber outbuilding/stable providing great storage - or just space to make cider! The formal gardens are mainly lawn with a small stream with various bridged crossings running through. There are two further pony paddocks, one of which benefits from a spacious tractor shed and the other a large chicken coop. There is a summerhouse, detached double garage and driveway providing extensive parking for numerous vehicles.
Location


Dryleaze is well located within the parish of Corston (with its post office/general store) close to The Globe pub and excellent Farm shop at Newton St Loe. Its most convenient position affords excellent access to a vast array of shops, amenities and transport links, with swift access by a frequent bus service to both Bath and Bristol along the A4. With the advantage of a pedestrian right of way over the fields to the centre of the village, there are fabulous walks through nearby Newton Park, as well as the picturesque countryside surrounding the River Avon Valley.
