An imposing and substantial country house enjoying fine views and sitting centrally in its 9.41 acre plot.
This large Victorian house was believed to have been originally built for the local brewing family of Absolom Perrett in about 1873 and was later owned by Dame Joan Evans, president of the Royal Archaeological Institute.
Much of the period finery remains today. The house has been brought back to its former glory by the current owners, who have completed a thorough renovation of both the house and grounds to restore the period charm whilst installing modern facilities, with a high-end finish throughout.
The house is presented in first class order and is a turnkey house that enjoys a wonderful position, on the cusp of the popular market town of Wotton-under-Edge.
The accommodation is generous at 8,763 sq ft (main house), but the layout and proportions of the house emphasise its practicality and functionality and with the many double aspect rooms it feels both light and spacious.
The heart of the home has been created in the large kitchen/dining/sitting room. The fully integrated kitchen has modern units with marble tops and a dining space as well as a light filled orangery style area from which to enjoy the fine views and gardens. This space is amply backed up with a pantry and utility room. The formal rooms have some of the finest views in the area of the River Severn and the Welsh hills in the distance. They also feature stunning glazing, wood burners and wonderful period features.
Home working is well catered for with both a home office and a study.
The lower ground floor provides a cinema room and games room, ideal for both family time and parties. It also houses the modern boiler system and storage.
The utility corridor leads to the indoor pool which is connected to the main house by a glass link door. The pool is surrounded by a relaxing patio area and has a bank of French doors leading onto the south/west facing terrace. The area is completed by a sauna and shower/changing room.
The convivial bedroom layout is ideal for family life with the top floor given over to two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal children’s rooms. This leaves the first floor for the principal suite, guest suite and two further bedrooms.
Coach House:
The large detached Coach House is separate from the main house and has historically been rented out or used for overflow guests. This is a generous space and would be ideal for a dependant relative. It has fine views over the lily pond and walled garden.
Outside
A real highlight of this stunning house is the situation and grounds. The house sits centrally in its 9.41 acres and enjoys complete privacy. It was built in this location to make the most of the stunning south/west facing views and fine sunsets. The house has twin tree-lined driveways, both with electric gates, which meet at the large parking area. The grounds around the house are level and mainly laid to lawn with various sitting areas from which to soak up the views.
To the rear of the grounds are some fenced paddocks with stabling and storage sheds as well as an orchard and woodlands, creating a relaxing and rural feel. The walled garden features a large lily pond and centrally located orangery – a wonderful spot to entertain. The barn has access from the walled garden and vehicular access from the rear. This is used as a wood storage and machine shed, but could be used for more extensive garaging or stabling. There are stables, a summer house and a garage within the grounds.
Situation
Situated in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bournstream is a small hamlet of houses on the outskirts of the market town of Wotton-Under-Edge. The Wotton farm shop is located about 0.2 miles from the house and is a lovely farm shop with café, deli and an extensive range of local produce. Wotton-under-Edge is a large market town with an extensive array of facilities including several pubs, restaurants, shops and social opportunities. It is well situated to allow access to the M4 & M5 as well as make use of the well regarded schools in the area including Wycliffe School, Beaudesert School, Katherine Lady Berkeley, Tockington Manor and various primary schools.
