Property description

SURROUNDING AREAS The village of Pucklechurch although still retaining its village atmosphere provides access into Yate, Bristol and Bath but is within easy access to motorway links and the Avon ring road. It is situated in the heart of the historic royal hunting ground of Kingswood Forest.



The parish church of St Thomas a'Becket is the focal point of the village. It is largely of 13th century origin, although it was restored in 1890. It retains a Norman north doorway and a late perpendicular style tower. The expansion of Pucklechurch was based on its agriculture and coal-mining industries. Farming, the prominent industry for many years, has declined more recently. Coal mining came to an end in 1936 when the mine flooded, although the miners' cottages at Parkfield, about a mile from the centre of the village, still serve as a reminder of Pucklechurch's industrial past.



To the north-west of the village lie two splendid 17th century buildings Grey House (grade II*-listed) and Moat House (grade II*-listed). The important Denys family lived at Grey House and also at Dyrham. Both buildings display stone gables and mullioned windows. They enjoy secluded positions, hidden away by their high stone walls and wooded grounds.



The north of the village evokes a sense of openness, enhanced by the green and the spacing of buildings. Towards the centre of the village the main thoroughfare is characterised by its wide road with traditional stone cottage and large town houses. Numerous mature trees and occasional areas of grassed open space further add to the overall character of the village.

 

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION This is an excellent family sized detached cottage with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, kitchen and utility room. Situated backing onto open countryside with rural views from most rooms the accommodation is flexible and the study could be easily adjusted to a further bedroom on the ground floor with its own en-suite shower room.



The present owners have been in residence for some nine years during which extensive improvements have been carried out, including new windows and doors, kitchen and bathrooms, new heating system, electrical installation, in fact just about all that could be done has been done to make this a comfortable home.



There is ample parking on the driveway plus a double detached garage.



Altogether an impressive property worthy of a full and early inspection.
