A recently renovated 6-bedroom, c.17th-century detached Grade II listed home with garaging, glorious gardens, magnificent views, and easy access to Bristol and beyond.
Ash Green is a well presented and elegant village home, set in over an acre of land with a lovely rural aspect to the wooded slopes of the Mendip Hills. Located on Front Street, a popular road in the heart of the village of Churchill, it has recently been given a top-to-toe renovation by its current owners. Sympathetically restoration has blended all the features and character of a period home with the comforts of contemporary living, making this an ideal family property that also offers flexible options for dual occupation.
Its open aspect, outbuildings, garaging, and generous driveway parking are complemented by the excellent local amenities nearby — including well-regarded schooling — as well as easy access to national railway services, the M5, and central Bristol.
A welcoming front door opens into a generous reception hall — the heart of the home — where original flagstones and character features immediately set the tone.
To the right is the dining room; an elegant, spacious, and light-filled room with sash windows, shutters, and a lovely feature fireplace. It enjoys views to both the front and rear and easily accommodates a large dining table — a space equally suited to formal entertaining or relaxed family meals.
From here, you move through to the breakfast room, which connects beautifully to the kitchen. Fully fitted with smart cream cabinetry and oak worktops, the kitchen includes integrated appliances such as a gas hob, oven, and dishwasher, together with space for a fridge/freezer in the adjoining utility room. In addition, a large rear laundry room (with plumbing and water) offers potential to become a shower/cloakroom, subject to any necessary consents — providing further versatile options for the layout, subject to any necessary permissions.
Returning to the hallway, the additional reception accommodation lies to the left, where a series of elegant, well-proportioned rooms begins with the sitting room. This space features large bay windows with original shutters and an attractive quarry-tiled fireplace with a cosy log burner — perfect for relaxing evenings by the fire.
Adjoining this is the family room: an impressively balanced space ideal for entertaining, with magnificent oak beams and French doors opening directly to the garden, seamlessly blending inside and out. To the rear, the family room is particularly inviting — cosy yet open, with its own character fireplace and windows framing the open countryside beyond.
Also on the ground floor is a study/playroom, tucked quietly off the front hall — ideal as a home office, music room, or snug.
Completing the ground floor is a utility room, discreetly positioned to the side and a characterful boot room, which retains period charm with an inglenook fireplace with ornate carved mantel.
The main staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing and five well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is both elegant and generous, with glorious views, a dedicated dressing room, and a large en-suite bathroom complete with bath and separate shower.
The remaining four bedrooms each enjoy lovely outlooks — some with dual aspects — and share a beautifully appointed family bath/shower room, which could be configured as an en-suite, depending on use.
Tucked away on the top floor is bedroom six — a charming space under the eaves with its own en-suite cloakroom. With a sense of separation from the rest of the house, this room is ideal as a teenager’s suite, private guest room, or creative studio.
Outside: Ash Green is approached through handsome stone pillars, along a sweeping gravel drive that curves past the east elevation to the rear of the house, where there is ample parking for several vehicles. Tucked to one side is a stone and tile outbuilding that serves as a small garage and garden store — practical yet full of character. The front garden is enclosed by a high stone wall and faces south, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying beautiful views toward the wooded Mendip Hills. Deep-planted borders and a mature mixed hedgerow frame a generous lawn, dotted with apple trees. To the rear, the garden stretches out to meet open farmland, with the distant tree line of Wrington Hill beyond. It’s an inspiring space — full of potential for further landscaping, a kitchen garden, or even a small paddock, with nature quite literally on your doorstep.
Location: Churchill offers local shopping and social facilities including a 24-hour petrol station and mini-market and the nearby villages of Congresbury and Winscombe have a more comprehensive range of shops. There is a large, modern medical practice in the village. Primary schooling is available close by and the excellent Churchill Academy and Sixth Form with its adjoining sports complex is only a short walk away. Bristol and Weston-super-Mare are within easy commuting distance with a regular bus service available and there are two M5 motorway access points and easy access to the M32 and M4 for travelling to London. Bristol International airport is just 7 miles distant along the A38. The village of Yatton (approx 4 miles) has a mainline railway station with direct services to London Paddington from 112 mins. The countryside around offers many activities including riding, sailing, fishing, walking and several golf courses.
