Quintessentially British and bursting with character, this eight bedroom detached cottage is a quaint rural haven.  Located at the heart of the village of Winterbourne Down, bordered by the rolling fields of the Avon Valley. Formerly two cottages, now united as one, this property provides a surprisingly spacious and unique living space secured behind a walled garden with a gated driveway.  Occupying a generous plot, Church Road offers the ideal opportunity for a buyer looking to renovate a traditional property. The property has much potential to be improved, yet the interesting period features found with abundance throughout can still be appreciated.  Set over two floors, the property has two entrances, each offering access to any room. The ground floor accommodation consists of four reception rooms, two kitchens, a dining room, and two W.Cs. The space further incorporates a traditional style bar, wooden framed windows, exposed ceiling beams, and three beautiful stone hearths with log-burning fires. The rear rooms provide lovely views out over the gardens, with access provided via two stable doors, and a set of French Doors.  The upstairs accommodation comprises eight bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom boasts a symphony of light and wood, with large in-built storage options. There is also a shower cubicle and a vanity unit. There are five further rooms in use as bedrooms, whilst the remaining two are being utilized as a library and an office. At either end of the house there are bathrooms, one of which with a panelled bath, and the other a beautifully modern space with a thermostatic mixer shower.  Externally, the property stands in generous mature gardens consisting of grassland as well as a tiered patio. There is one stone outbuilding, a shed, and a swimming pool, now derelict.  The lawn is bordered by established trees, with a stone wall providing security. There are also fruit trees on the lawn, providing a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the views. The land continues through a wooded slope as far as the edge of the River Frome, and a makeshift pathway joins the Frome Pathway.  At the top of the garden, there is a sizeable patio, with raised flower beds all in bloom. The patio extends to the detached double garage, which has an electric up and over door, and power.  The village of Winterbourne Down is surrounded by picturesque countryside, including the Frome Valley Walkway; an important green corridor that flows through the villages and farmland of South Gloucestershire and the dense housing of northeast Bristol. The woodlands, meadows and walkways provide a valuable setting for wildlife. There are two local pubs within walking distance (The Golden Heart & The Cross Hands), whilst Winterbourne High Street boasts an array of amenities, including a convenience store, dentist and library. Additionally, there are three local schools in the area, namely Winterbourne Academy (OFSTED Good), St Michael's C of E Primary School (OFSTED Good) and Elm Park (OFSTED Good). In terms of transport, there are multiple bus links into Bristol and the surrounding areas, whilst Parkway Station is only 2.8 miles away.
