Chantry House is situated in a lovely rural, although not isolated, setting 10
minutes from Clifton Village and convenient for Bristol. It is approached over
a tree lined drive and there are open views over adjoining farmland to the
village church and also across to the Welsh coast. This is a beautiful and
unique location, secluded and private but convenient for Bristol, Portishead
and Nailsea. There are also many footpaths accessible directly from the lanes
around Chantry House.
Chantry House dates from 1887 when it was built as the coach house to the
adjacent rectory and St Bartholemew's Church, which lies opposite. It was
converted in the 1970's and later extended. The present owner purchased the
property in 2012 and has since carried out a number of attractive improvements
which included installing and relocating the kitchen, replacing the bathrooms
and shower room, and replacing some floors with American oak. The combination
of stone walls, light oak floors and semi open plan design on the ground floor
has created a warm and light atmosphere.
The dining hall has a wide stone archway and leads into the sitting room. A
glazed door leads to a large outside courtyard. The study at the rear of the
house overlooks the south facing garden. The bespoke kitchen/family room is
superb. Integrated appliances include a range cooker, microwave, dishwasher
and an island unit with a breakfast bar. From the sitting area large French
doors and windows allow a lovely outlook along the drive and over countryside.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom with balcony has a view for miles to
the east, to the Welsh coast, and south over farmland. The four further
bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, have open views. The principal en
suite bath/shower room, en suite shower room and family bath/shower room are
all extremely well - appointed. Above this bedroom and bathroom there is an
extensive storage loft which is accessed by sturdy loft steps
Outside
Chantry House is approached through electrically operated gates on stone piers
and over a long tree lined drive with lawn on either side, leading to the
front of the house. There is parking for a number of vehicles.
To the west of the house is a large private paved area, ideal for
entertaining. The part walled rear private garden is south facing and adjoins
farmland with open views over countryside and across to woodland in the
distance. Immediately from the rear of the house central steps lead up to lawn
with a raised stone bed on either side planted with a variety of shrubs. There
is an ornamental pond and a split level paved sitting area, with superb views.
Immediately outside the breakfast kitchen, a pair of double French windows
open to a further paved enclosed area.
In all the property extends to about 0. 35 of an acre.
