‘The Cider Barn’ is a stunning conversion with character and style in abundance, all secreted away in countryside to the north of the market town of Thornbury, with grounds extending to circa 1.28 acres, plus a further 1.77 acres and stabling by separate negotiation (see ‘Promap’ image, highlighted in red and blue respectively). It is tucked away off a leafy country lane, over the hillside to the east of M5 J14 in the Berkeley Vale, sharing a private driveway with two other rural dwellings all surrounded by open fields. The barn offers expansive living space, with multiple options for bedrooms and home-working – plenty of room for a busy family to spread out and enjoy their interests, inside and out. The bespoke hand-made kitchen/dining room, with 'Aga', runs front to rear, with doors at each end opening onto outdoor seating areas with country views. The superb main living space is vaulted and again is dual-aspect - with French doors, a wood-burning stove and a split-level 'snug' for relaxing in front of a movie. There is also a separate family room, again with doors to the garden – fantastic space for entertaining family and friends. Twin staircases allow for internal separation, plus there is a detached 'annexe' across the shared driveway – this comprises covered parking, workshop space, a shower room and an additional games/studio room above. Bedroom numbers depend upon on your preferred combination - a minimum of four, plus two en-suite shower rooms and the fabulous family bathroom. The gardens are a delight and include an al-fresco dining area featuring the original stone cobble circle once used in cider production. Sweeping lawns stretch down to a gap in the mature hedgerow leading to the modern wooden barn and the field just beyond. Country walks start at the end of the driveway, with many rural rambles just waiting to be discovered. The additional lot has a separate vehicular access from Sundays Hill Lane - a great spot for those with equestrian interests, for hacking out through the local lanes and bridleways. A unique and very special home!
