An appealing stone built detached house believed to have originally served as a farmhouse. The accommodation offers much character including lofty ceiling heights, panelled internal doors, deep skirting boards etc. These features fuse seamlessly with modern convenience including a beautiful Neptune kitchen with Aga which is part of an open plan sociable space with a dining area and living room. The house has a high degree of versatility with two further reception rooms on the ground floor as well as a bedroom, a separate utility room and a cloakroom with wc. The first floor has four double bedrooms, the main bedroom has a dressing area and en suite bathroom and the second bedroom features an en suite shower room. The other bedrooms are served by a good size family bathroom.
The arrangement of the accommodation on the ground floor allows potential to create an integral annexe if required.
On the outside, the property has a wide frontage to Norman Road and is set on a plot extending to 0.29 acres with a sweeping in-out gravelled driveway to the front which continues to the side of the property where it forms the approach to the detached double length garage. The rear garden is a superb feature of the property approximately 30m deep and 24m wide with an enviable southerly facing aspect.
Saltford is an excellent strategic location between the cities of Bristol and Bath offering a range of village amenities and an excellent 'outstanding' rated local primary school. Both cities are within easy reach by road or public transport. There is also access to the Bristol and Bath cycle path and an excellent golf course is close by. Norman Road connects to the High Street which is a picturesque location with mainly period properties leading down to the River Avon and Bristol-Bath cycle path.
In all this is a rare opportunity to acquire a period home in a delightful convenient setting and an early viewing is highly recommended.
