Set in an enviable hidden away position on Chipping Sodbury Common with gorgeous countryside surroundings, this impressive Grade II Listed home started life as a large farmhouse (its origins were probably 15th century although it was changed by the 17th century) then in 1978 it was split into two individual residential properties - The Old House being ONE HALF. Historically the farmhouse was found in the centre of a mediaeval deer park so this is a fabulous lifestyle choice for those wanting an idyllic setting with plenty of privacy, fields for grazing or a small holding. It is pleasantly and deceptively close to all the shops and amenities found in the High Street via a beautiful walk along the lane and nearby footpaths. Approached via a private driveway shared with just 2 others, The Old House has been in the same ownership for circa 35 years and now offers itself for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN. To appreciate the property fully and realise its true potential as a lovely home once more, it will require a thoughtful restoration process. There is also a barn and a former milking shed that offer further potential (subject to any planning) or could simply be fantastic workshops and/or store facilities. Inside there are 5 double bedrooms and three receptions set over three floors, whilst outside the overall plot is circa 4.2 acres of paddocks, grounds and gardens - the larger paddock being circa 2.5 acres and the smaller being circa 0.3.

Area Description

The Common is nestled between the market town of Chipping Sodbury and the villages of Horton, Hawkesbury Upton and Old Sodbury. Having lovely rural surrounds and countryside views it is also amazingly convenient for Chipping Sodbury which is deceptively close by. It benefits from all the amenities found in the High Street, schools and sports facilities at The Ridings, plus the nearby Golf Club and the Waitrose Store. Chipping Sodbury Common is part of a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and sits just below the Cotswold Ridge so has lovely scenery and country walks. There are excellent road links to the A46, the M4 (Junction 18 is approx 4.9 miles away) Bristol and Bath whilst the nearby Yate train station (approx 1.9 miles away) provides good transport links for commuters.
