Eastfield

Description

Eastfield is a really charming, detached home that benefits from all the amenities that Peasedown St John has to offer along with being within an easy commute of both Bath and Bristol, whilst being surrounded by open countryside.

Dating back to the mid-1920s many of the period features have been retained including original tiled flooring in the entrance hall and wooden parquet flooring in the reception rooms, stone mullion windows with part leaded windows. The house now does require a scheme of improvement but offers a fantastic level of scope to extend the existing space, subject to the relevant consents, to create a special family home.

The House

The front door, under an open porch opens into a lovely welcoming entrance hall with a fine open staircase rising to the first floor and doors open to each of the ground floor rooms. The sitting room is a light dual aspect room with an open fireplace (currently not in use) and views across the garden to the front. The dining room has a similar aspect and has a slate fireplace (currently not in use) with an art-deco style tiled surround and mantle over. The third reception room would make a great study or snug sitting room with a window to the side and built in cupboard.  The kitchen lies to the rear of the house and has a range of fitted wall and base units, central heating boiler and space for a breakfast table. Beyond the kitchen is a useful conservatory style utility space with plumbing for the washing machine, Belfast sink, door to the garden and WC. An ideal space for wellies and muddy dogs.

The landing, again, is a light space benefiting lots of natural light from a deep window on the stairs. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, three of which are good sized double rooms with wash hand basins and the fourth is a smaller single room. At the far end of the landing there are a couple of steps down to a shower room, separate WC, airing cupboard and bathroom.

Outside

The house is approached from Dunkerton Hill via a sweeping driveway which opens to a parking area to the front and side of the house with ample space for several vehicles.

The gardens lie predominantly to one side, the front and rear of the house and are currently laid mostly to lawn with some mature trees, fruit trees and shrubs used to create separate areas.

Outbuildings

To the rear of the house and sitting along the western boundary is a range of outbuildings that, subject to gaining any of the relevant consents, would be perfect to provide work from home space, holiday accommodation or an annexe. Or simply kept as they are; a range of useful outbuildings that compliment a home in the countryside.

They currently comprise a former garage which is now used as a garden store. To the side of this are buildings that were used by the current owners to run their poultry rearing business including pens for rearing birds, an area that was used as an office and then other associated areas. There are also two timber stables and a timber framed barn.

The Land

The paddocks lie to each side of the house with the smaller one accessed from the driveway to the house and the larger one from the rear garden. The land is predominantly level in aspect and enclosed by a combination of fences and hedges.

Location

Eastfield is located in a fantastic position with some great facilities and towns located close by including Bath and Bristol. Excellent road and rail communications give access to those needing to commute.

Peasedown St John is a thriving village with an excellent range of local facilities including pre-school and primary school, doctors surgery, sports clubs (football and cricket), a community library, church and a couple of pubs. The village also benefits from a regular bus service to Bath. Radstock, Shepton Mallet and Wells.
