OFFERS INVITED BETWEEN £1,000,000-£1,100,000 Nestled opposite the village green in a close knit rural community, this imposing and utterly charming Grade II listed detached family home offers an astounding approx. 6,000 sq. ft of versatile and vast internal accommodation with mature landscaped gardens as well as a useful cellar, garaging and outbuildings.

Exemplifying the very essence of period living, this outstanding home is littered with historical features, quirky spaces and an undeniable feeling of quintessential country charm. Offering easy access to the M5 motorway as well as proximity to the market towns of Thornbury, Berkeley and Dursley, Porch House epitomises the ‘best of both worlds’ in an idyllic rural South Gloucestershire setting with the convenience of the nearby thriving city of Bristol.

With unparalleled flexibility across three floors, the impressive period dwelling can be split into a barn and main house, making it ideal for multigenerational living in addition to giving opportunities to run a business or generate income from the various, light filled spaces. Beneath an inviting canopied porch, the main entrance opens into an inner hallway with characterful front reception rooms to either side. To the right sits a formal yet cosy dining room with a rustic fireplace, attractive oak flooring and exposed ceiling beams, whilst to the opposite side are two further spacious reception rooms, which conveniently interlink with a substantial open fireplace, exposed beams, stylish décor and deep insets windows overlooking the front green.

The neighbouring country kitchen is a charming and relaxed setting with a real sense of home. Benefitting from traditional shaker style wall and base units, a central butcher block style island, desirable range cooker, quarry tiled floor and captivating outlook over the garden, the space allows for informal dining and benefits from both a useful pantry and convenient utility room. Situated back off the inner hall is a desirable boot room as well as steps leading up to a superb home office with double height sloped ceiling and an abundance of character. Accessed via the main lounge, with independent external access, is the magnificent, vaulted family room with a dramatic mezzanine, splendid flagstone flooring and truly vast proportions. With contemporary glass balustrades the upper section of the room is the perfect reading or relaxation retreat, whilst below is a phenomenal entertaining space. Having been independently let for many years, there is a modern fitted kitchen on the ground floor with all necessary amenities as well as a spacious sunken dining or leisure space and a conveniently located wet room.

Across the first floor of the barn and main house are four fantastically proportioned and well-presented double bedrooms with a spacious family bathroom. Taking centre stage is a deluxe master suite, which itself comprises an expansive walk-in wardrobe, sophisticated en-suite with elegant freestanding bath and fashionable walk-in shower, as well as a separate gym or yoga space. Situated on the second floor are three further guest bedrooms and a modern shower room, making the ideal space for older children, lodgers or auxiliary staff.

The exceptional walled rear garden is a notably private and sheltered sun trap with an attractive paved terrace seating area, perfect for alfresco dining. Bursting with gorgeous established planting, a desirable level lawn and beautifully stocked borders, the garden is a real gem having been lovingly maintained by the current owners. There is a further outbuilding and store in addition to access to the rear of the detached double garage, which itself has separate vehicular access from a private side lane.

Porch House is a magnificent residential home that blends a vast amount of space and potential with a genuine feeling of history and warmth and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
