Old Farm Court, Elberton BS35

'The Beeches' is a substantial detached family home in a convenient semi-rural location with views across open fields. Country walks start right from the front gate and Route 41 of the National Cycle Network passes just around the corner. For those needing access to Bristol and South Wales, the M48/A403 is within easy reach. The front of the property faces due south with a generous private area of garden, enclosed by a high hedge - a perfect spot to relax on a sunny afternoon. Once inside, a spacious lounge can be found at the front with an enclosed multi-fuel stove and adjoining sun-room allowing the ‘outside in’. There is a separate dining room, perfect for entertaining, with patio doors to the garden behind. A spacious kitchen/breakfast room has an outlook across the garden with integrated appliances and plenty of space for everyday dining. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room with an internal door to the garage. Moving up to the first floor, the large principal bedroom has far-reaching views, an en-suite shower room and a dressing room. There are four further bedrooms - three doubles and one single - all with country views, plus a family bathroom. Moving back outside, the block-paved driveway offers off-street parking for three/four cars and access to the integral double garage. This has an electric up and over door, a work-bench and a door to the rear garden. There is pedestrian access on both sides leading round to the rear garden which is laid mainly to lawn, with two sheds and a greenhouse. Come and view!
