An impressive Georgian Grade II listed 6-bedroom family home set in grounds approaching an acre, featuring a double garage, ample driveway parking, and stabling. It is tucked away yet offers easy access to Bristol and beyond.
Brockley Chase has been a cherished family home for the past 43 years. Parts of the house date back to 1745, with much of its character retained, including sash windows, shutters, panelling, beamed ceilings, and fireplaces. The beautiful reception rooms exhibit timeless elegance and classic Georgian proportions, complemented by a delightful kitchen/breakfast/living room, flooded with natural light and offering magnificent views over the surrounding farmland.
The house is complemented by wonderful outside space, including a front garden that frames the pretty façade, and a large, level lawned area (formerly a paddock) complete with stabling.
Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a spacious reception hall with high ceilings and period features. A cloakroom provides a practical space with ample storage for coats and shoes, along with room for a freezer.
To the left is the dining room, an ideal entertaining space featuring deep recessed windows, fitted bookshelves, and a beamed ceiling.
To the right is the sitting room, which boasts an open fireplace and double doors opening onto the garden, framing spectacular views of a magnolia tree.
At the rear of the house is the study, where a large sash window provides glorious open views across the arable land beyond.
The final reception room is a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. Fitted with solid wooden units designed by Winchmoor, it features an attractive brick-recessed fireplace with an inset racing green AGA. Integrated appliances include an electric hob, microwave, and dishwasher. The living area is spacious, with French doors opening onto a terraced area — perfect for summer barbecues or entertaining friends. A practical utility room provides space for a washing machine and valuable extra storage.
Stairs lead down from the kitchen to the garage and outbuildings via a covered area. To the left is a boiler room, leading into an expansive double garage offering generous parking and storage space. Upstairs, there is an additional sizable room, currently arranged as a games room, with potential for various uses, subject to planning permission.
