Swingle Tree

Swingle Tree is a perfect ‘escape to the country’ embracing the best of secluded rural living, with stable block and looking out across its own land of almost two acres to the countryside beyond yet within easy reach of the local amenities and major transport links, and is within commuting distance of Bristol. Its green credentials include solar panels and biomass heating system.

The entrance hall dissects the house into two distinct living spaces: tranquil library/sitting room with inglenook fireplace to one side; vibrant open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas to the other. The rooms on both sides are light, bright and inviting. The hub of the home for most would be the beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen which spills out into a vast open living area, flooded with light from the glass bifold doors, tiled with flagstone style flooring and warmed by underfloor heating. There is also a utility room which houses the biomass heating system, a cloakroom, and a boot room with access to the garden.

The four double bedrooms are upstairs, each with its own unique character and charm. The master suite, situated at the far end of the house, benefits from glass windows to the apex of the vaulted ceiling with French doors opening to a Juliette balcony. The suite also has a substantial walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary shower room with twin basins. The guest bedroom also benefits from an ensuite shower room, whilst the other two double bedrooms share a fabulous bathroom with walk-in shower and clawfoot bath. All the rooms enjoy lovely rural views.

Situated on a quiet country lane, with fabulous panoramic countryside views, the house is set in the corner of its land overlooking its gardens and paddocks and surrounded by fields on all other sides. Approached on foot, a traditional garden gate in the old stone wall swings open to a flower-lined path leading to the porch. There is a shingle driveway with access to the front of the house and also to the stable block, tack room and stores, with vehicular access to the paddocks beyond. Currently the land is divided up to provide pony paddocks, substantial chicken run, vegetable garden with greenhouse, and an orchard stocked with apples, pears, and elderflower. There is also a beekeeping hive.
