Description
Hope Farm is a Georgian Grade II listed former farmhouse located in the village of Kingston Seymour between the Victorian seaside town of Clevedon and the North Somerset village of Yatton. The property sits in beautifully landscaped gardens approaching half an acre. The property has been extended over the years to create a tastefully presented family home. The current owners have cleverly planned the layout to accommodate dual occupancy, without physically dividing the main family house. This creates a flexible family home that could suit someone wanting to buy a substantial home or someone looking for dual occupancy.

Situation
The property is situated in the heart of this very attractive village close to the church. Kingston Seymour lies approximately 15 miles south west of Bristol and has a very active community with many social events and functions taking place in the village hall/ part time post office.

The nearby village of Yatton has a comprehensive range of amenities and a mainline station with high speed trains to London (Paddington).

Outside
Hope Farm has large level mature gardens with predominantly walled boundaries, behind which there are areas of garden to cater for all horticultural needs. There is a formal garden on one side, with circular central box hedge bed, with seat around a new tree, and walls clad with climbing plants, roses and hollyhocks. There is a terrace on one side of this garden with wrought iron railings leading into one side of the house and out to the double garage and parking area.

A central pathway, behind a high wrought iron gate and clematis clad arch, leads from the lane up to the formal front door, either side of which are level lawns and attractive planting. The larger part of the garden, known as 'The Paddock' is to the south west of the house and comprises of a large level lawn with several trees behind a stone wall boundary. A gate leads into a veg plot and into the rear of the house. To the rear of Hope Farm there is a length of terrace – ideal for 'al fresco' eating as it has access from both kitchens. There is also a wide long lawn leading away from this area which is currently used as the children's play area. Double gates lead out onto the driveway giving access to the double garage.

Accommodation
The accommodation is laid over two floors with good size rooms and ceiling heights. Although the property has been recently refurbished the owners have retained many features of the era, complimented by gas fired central heating and modern kitchens and bathrooms.

A spacious central reception hall with timber floor gives access to both sides of the house. The two main reception rooms are located at the front of the house, with working fireplaces and sash windows with timber panelling and working shutters. At the rear of the house is a breakfast room with Aga, with kitchen beside, a second larger kitchen, (study – housing the splendid 'Cornish range') and conservatory and bathroom. There are two staircases to the first floor.

The main staircase rises from the reception hall. It has stripped old pine ballusters and at half landing level a door leads into one landing. The staircase continues to the first floor. There are five bedrooms in total, most of which have sash windows and working shutters, high ceilings, and cast iron fire grates. The second staircase leads from a landing down to the study on the north side of the house.
