Description
Rare opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow set in 2.35 acres. Approached via it's own 100 yard tree-lined avenue away from the road, Petty France Farm is surrounded by open farm land. It is offered for sale with no onward chain, having never before been on the open market.
Built in the 1950s and cherished ever since by the selling family, the property is now in need of some renovation and modernisation. Accommodation includes entrance hall, kitchen with wood burner, boot room, sitting room, dining room, 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. There is a large loft which offers further development potential - something this prospect has in spades!
Wonderful countryside views can be enjoyed from most principle rooms. The main field extends to about 1.5 acres, formerly used as a caravan site with associated toilet block. Additionally a half acre garden has two useful outbuildings, with the remainder of the land immediately surrounding the property currently used as another garden and parking.
Petty France is a hamlet located in the rural north of South Gloucestershire, near the Gloucestershire border on the A46 and is approximately 5 miles north of the M4 Junction 18 offering excellent access to Bristol and Bath. Almost opposite entrance to the driveway is a 17th-century country inn called Bodkin House and further amenities including Post Office/Village Stores, Pub and recreation facilities can be found at the nearby village of Hawkesbury Upton.
