Property description

Detached property with uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside set in just over 4.5 acres and quietly located in the pretty village of Upton Cheyney only 6 miles from Bath and 7.6 miles to the M4. Comprising four bedrooms, stables, tack room and paddock.This impressive, period family home is located in the picturesque and highly desirable village of Upton Cheyney, which is situated on the slopes of Lansdown Hill in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and conveniently located close to both Bath and Bristol.The present owners had long held a desire to move to this village and, six years ago, when the opportunity came along to purchase Mount Pleasant House, together with its large acreage of land, it ticked all their boxes and they moved to live here. A stunning grade II listed house, constructed in stone during the late 17th century, and set in an elevated position, secluded from the road, it enjoys the most incredible, uninterrupted, views of the surrounding countryside. From the three main reception rooms at the front of the house, both of the Severn Bridges, plus the Clifton Suspension Bridge are visible. The owners have painstakingly refurbished and enhanced the house since they came to live here, whilst, at the same time, ensuring that the heritage of the house remains intact. A stylish, elegant, family home and one where a fabulous rural setting and superb location come together. Each room is full of enormous character and charm, with day to day family life revolving in the sociable kitchen. Another special room is the snug, with its large working inglenook fireplace, and a favoured place in which to curl up in front of the glowing fire. Such a warm, friendly home is perfect to share with friends and family, either on formal occasions, or relaxed family parties. The sheltered, sunny terrace is the perfect spot on which to enjoy a quiet drink after a busy day and is also where the family enjoy relaxed dining and BBQs. The garden is full of interest and colour and each area has its own personality, including the orchard which has apple, pear and plum trees. There is space for chickens and a pond for ducks. As the owners keep horses, the large paddock, plus stable and tack room, has been a major bonus for them. Although peaceful and tucked away, everything is close at hand. There is a village pub within walking distance and the local farm shop offers a wide range of quality products. The centre of Bath is only 6 miles away from the house and road and rail links are extremely convenient.Sitting on the patio embracing the absolute peace and tranquillity, whilst marvelling at such fabulous views: these are just some of the memories of life here which the owners will take away with them.
