Applecroft

VIEWINGS TO START FROM SATURDAY 16th JULY: Applecroft is situated in a cleverly hidden and tucked away setting just half a mile west of Chew Valley Lake at the end of a gated private driveway. It overlooks its garden, orchard and paddock, which fronts a stream along the northern boundary. The open views are
superb and unique for a village setting.

Built on the site of the former outbuilding, Applecroft was designed and constructed under architect supervision. Rebuilt and extended, it is now a delightful contemporary home where 21st century interior blends with traditional detailing. All rooms take advantage of its setting and the decor is fresh and light. The light solid oak floors connect the ground floor areas, and the contemporary bathrooms have stone effect floors. The striking sitting room has white painted ceiling joists and a comforting raised log effect gas fire operated by remote. The family room has bi-fold and sliding glazed doors providing multi-access points to the outdoors. The large open plan, purpose designed kitchen/breakfast/dining room has two elevations with a step down to the garden sitting area. The kitchen has a central island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances including two ovens, wine cooler, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. Adjoining the kitchen is a purpose-built prep kitchen/larder with sink, dishwasher and storage. The utility room is nicely tucked away with access from the driveway and raised planting beds at the rear.

There is a large guest suite on the ground floor; upstairs the principal bedroom has an en-suite, vaulted ceiling and stunning views. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor and family bathroom; all benefitting from uninterrupted views to the paddock, woods and hills beyond.

Outside
Applecroft is approached over a long drive leading to generous gravelled parking to the rear and side of the house. Behind the house are raised stone beds ready for planting. To the west, is a gravelled seating area, with a superb Magnolia providing ideal cover for barbecues and outdoor entertaining. The large mixed orchard in front of the house, which extends into a paddock, runs down to a stream at the bottom along the northern boundary. The house has been designed to take advantage of the superb open views over the
orchard and paddock and its private and peaceful setting. In all the property extends to about 1.5 acres
