Stanton Drew is located just to the south of the road that runs between the villages of Pensford and Chew Magna on the B3130. The Bath & North East Somerset village is famous for its prehistoric Stone Circles, the largest being the Great Circle consisting of the second largest Stone Circle in Britain (after Avebury). The village also has a range of listed buildings dating from the 13th to 15th centuries. The Parish of Stanton Drew has about 800 people and includes a primary school, local Inn, the Church of St Mary the Virgin and village hall where there is a venue for Mothers and Toddler Groups and Pre-School along with various activities. The area that surrounds the village has several dairy and arable farms and many people commute to Bristol and Bath. The popular Chew Valley Secondary School is located between Chew Magna and Chew Stoke and is served by a daily school bus. The Chew Valley is unique in the West Country, comprising some thirty five thousand acres of unspoilt and protected countryside which occupies the middle ground of the Bath, Bristol and Wells triangle. Dominating the scene are the Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes, notable for their fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities. The villages in the Valley are all unspoilt and each has its individual charm and character. Only seven miles to the north of the Chew Valley is the City of Bristol, the West Country's financial and business centre, whilst the charming City of Bath with its Roman origins and Georgian architectural masterpieces is under half an hour's drive to the East. On the southern side of the Mendips is the historic City of Wells, England's smallest, with its ancient Cathedral. The region is well served by excellent Inter City Rail Links and the M4/M5 links to the rest of the Country. Bristol Airport is some six miles to the west.

BUYER’S PREMIUM
Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1,500 + VAT (£1,800 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.
GUIDE PRICE
An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
RESERVE PRICE
The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
