Laurel Farmhouse & The Old Stables Summer Lane, Banwell BS29 6LP

Laurel Farmhouse and The Old Stables are two individual

properties with separate residential use

Laurel Farmhouse Built, we understand, around 300 years ago, Laurel Farmhouse is a stunningly

presented period property set in fantastic gardens and surrounded by

beautiful countryside on the outskirts of the village of Banwell. The current

owners have been in situ for 8 years and in that period have undertaken an

array of improvement and renovation works which have served to enhance the

plethora of character features, whilst acknowledging that a modern family

expects certain qualities of a property, not always included 300 years ago! We

don't believe that anyone could be disappointed with the size and versatility of

the living accommodation once you step through the front door, be it as a

substantial standard family home or as a dual occupation residence - the living

space delivers in spades!

The accommodation briefly comprises, on the ground floor, entrance

porchway, living room with woodburner, dining room with inglenook fireplace

and snug, breakfast area open plan to a sizeable fitted kitchen with range style

cooker, boot room, utility room and WC. This completes the current

configuration of the main downstairs living accommodation but does not

include the downstairs area currently set up to provide a dual occupation

space with further large lounge, kitchenette, rear lobby room, shower room

and WC. This space could easily be reintegrated as part of the main

accommodation as there are two adjoining doors, but this is the current set up.

Upstairs you will find a fantastic 17' master bedroom with stunning countryside

views, three further good sized bedrooms, luxurious family bathroom and

shower room. As mentioned, in almost every room the eye is drawn to a period

feature, be it an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, original flagstone

flooring, window seats and exposed stone walling, the innate character really

has been retained.

Outside, this highly attractive building is set in a stunning spot, surrounded by

open fields and with its large garden to the front and side. The garden mainly

comprises mature lawned area, but there is a rather attractive paved area to

the side for that evening glass of wine. There is substantial gravelled off street

parking, perfect for cars but also for someone looking to store a boat or motor

home there is ample space. Coupled with this is a range of outbuilding rooms

with power and light which could quite easily be used as; an office for those

wishing to work from home, have possible potential (subject to consents) for

development, or if nothing else can be used as some really useful storage. The

farmhouse is conveniently positioned on a little lane on the outskirts of

Banwell, with fantastic access to local amenities, the M5 motorway and

Weston-super-Mare, coupled with immediate access for lovers of walking or

equestrian pursuits to the beautiful surrounding countryside. Laurel

Farmhouse really is a stunning one off country property which really must be

seen to be believed, and an early viewing will be absolutely essential to avoid

disappointment.

into Wolvershill Road and proceed out of the village passing Court Farm on the

hand bend. Parking for Laurel Farmhouse can be found through a gate a little

way down on your left hand side. with a Debbie Fortune Estate Agents' For

Sale board.
