Hortswood Farm has been the recent subject of a programme of updating and renovation, enacted with great care and attention to detail, creating a luxurious and beautifully appointed family home. The property has been designed to take full advantage of the breathtaking far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, and from both inside and out there is a sense of being on top of the world, surrounded by nature.
Upon entry via the spacious lobby/boot room, 3 steps to one corner lead up to the utility room with a sink, storage cabinets and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, beyond which is a further generous storage room and then the large single garage. Subject to the necessary permissions, there is potential to create additional accommodation if required, perhaps as an annexe for a dependent relative.
The beautiful kitchen, installed by Timbercraft of Clevedon and featuring a smartly tiled floor and high quality integrated NEFF appliances is a highlight of the property. Fitted with an extensive range of full height wooden units across one side, and base units with granite worktops and recessed 1½ sink to the other, integrated appliances include a larder fridge, a freezer, a double oven with hide and slide doors and a dishwasher. The smart central island with gently curved sides and granite worktops includes a large NEFF/Schott ceran induction hob with a very contemporary overhead extractor. For the party lover, there is remote-controlled adjustable plinth lighting. To one end of the kitchen is a pantry area with fitted storage and a contemporary cloakroom off.
The wide bay window in the dining area beyond the kitchen provides the introduction to the fantastic far-reaching views available from almost every room, across the Aldwick valley and towards the Mendip Hills beyond. The adjacent fields are generally used to grow crops, rather than livestock, and slope gently away from the house. Bordered by neatly maintained hedges and mature trees there is a feeling of being surrounded by nature, able to watch the seasons progress throughout the year. The dining area accommodates a large dining table - ideal for family meals and entertaining - and includes a multi-fuel wood burner and well-designed storage which combine to give a sense of country charm.
The spacious sitting room is wonderfully light and airy, with superb views through the wide window and the French doors opening onto the dining terrace and garden beyond, ideal for entertaining. The wood burner provides the focal point to the room, with a smart fitted cupboard to one side.
A light, sunny, hallway beyond the kitchen leads upstairs to the bedroom accommodation and onwards to the additional reception room, currently used as home office. A full height glazed door in the hallway provides garden access.
Like the living accommodation, the 4 double bedrooms are all beautifully presented, decorated with a calming neutral palette, and all include fitted wardrobes. The generous principal bedroom is to the far end of the landing and, like 2 further bedrooms, benefits from the far-reaching panoramic views over surrounding countryside and to the Mendips beyond. There is a linen cupboard along the landing, and a very stylish family shower room with twin sinks and a large shower enclosure along with luxurious under-floor heating.
Outside - the gardens and grounds are another highlight of the property, with a small fenced paddock approaching 0.18 acres opposite the house, which offers potential for the keen gardener to create a wonderful garden from scratch, could be used as a vegetable plot or smallholding, or simply provide outdoor playing space for children. The garden immediately adjacent to the house includes an outbuilding currently arranged as 3 dog kennels which provide good storage, and offers potential for alternative use if required. The garden is currently designed for low maintenance, being mainly laid to lawn with a dining terrace. Neatly enclosed by a smart fence and mature hedges and trees to the sides, the low fencing to the end of the garden help maximise the fantastic south facing panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
Location - Hortswood Farm is situated in an elevated position up an impressive driveway (owned privately by a neighbour but with right of access for all properties along it) flanked by neatly maintained hedges. Lye Cross Farm Shop, providing a wide range of fresh, locally sourced produce including meat and award-winning cheese, is within 1.8 miles as are the extensive facilities of Wrington village. The wide range of amenities includes shops, cafes, pubs, churches, a popular preschool and an "Outstanding" primary school. Senior schooling is within 5.9 miles at the "Outstanding" Churchill Academy & Sixth Form. Hortswood Farm is situated approximately 11.3 miles south west of Bristol, with easy access to the M5 at Clevedon and St Georges (J20 and J21). Bristol International Airport is within 3.6 miles and mainline railway services are available within 5.8 miles at Yatton station (London Paddington from 114 minutes).
