Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Bristol, BS31 :

Tolzey summarises everything which is sought after within a period village house; effortlessly pretty; rich in period details with thick walls, original and open fireplaces; well-proportioned yet welcoming and comfortable rooms and a level, fully enclosed walled garden. Though believed to date back to the late C16th the house is predominately C17th, with later C18th additions – reflected in the stunning Gothic arch windows.Approached via a paved pathway to the front door, the house sits handsomely back from the road, overlooking the village green (which it owns) and with views across to the village church. Internally, the entrance hall is tiled with underfloor heating, and is flanked on either side by two elegantly proportioned reception rooms; currently the drawing room and the dining room. Each has wonderful views over the front, and the enjoyment of open fires – with a “Jetmaster” fireplace in the drawing room and a traditional open hearth in the dining room. To the rear of the house is a cosy sitting room, or snug , fitted with a cast iron wood burning stove and double doors leading out to the Amdega conservatory. This catches much of the afternoon sun, and itself has double doors leading out into the garden. Accessed from the inner hall is a well-proportioned study area, with views to the enclosed courtyard and access to the beautifully fitted family kitchen. This has ample space for a generous family dining table, as well as an expanse of granite work-surfaces and built in storage cupboards. Numerous integrated appliances are included, including a Britannia cooker, Liebherr fridge/freezer, Bosch washing machine and a Bosch dishwasher. There is direct access from the kitchen into the enclosed courtyard, with further access from the courtyard into the main garden. In addition, there is a large cloakroom with a w.c and washbasin, as well as further access from the inner hallway out into the garden. Above, via the delightful period staircase, lie four double bedrooms. The master bedroom is situated to the front of the house with stunning views across The Green to the church, and is served by a generous en-suite bathroom – complete with a bath, separate shower, w.c and wash basin – as well as windows overlooking the rear. The three further bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom, with bedroom two and bedroom three overlooking the front and bedroom four to the rear. The family bathroom has been recently modernised, with Travertine tiles and a shower fitted above the bath. OutsideThe gardens surrounding Tolzey Cottage are an absolute delight. Walled and fully enclosed, the principal garden is laid mostly to lawn with mature borders harbouring a good supply of shrubs and trees, as well as a well-kept kitchen garden. The garden is accessed internally via the conservatory and inner hallway, as well as via a side gate to the front of the house and is incredibly private, quiet and a haven from which to enjoy lazy weekends, for children to play in and for families to entertain in all seasons. A small pathway leads around from the conservatory to the enclosed courtyard, which catches much of the day’s sun, and is perfect for summer BBQ’s. There is access from here onto the lane running to the side of the property – perfect for bikes etc. which can be stored in one of the outside store rooms. In addition, a pair of garages can be accessed via a separate lane running to the left hand side of the property – and these have a rear door leading out into the garden and a pathway leading up towards the house. Situation and HistoryQueen Charlton is a peaceful semi-rural village, some 4 miles south east of Bristol Temple Meads train station and just over 10 miles west from Bath. The established town of Keynsham is a little under 2 miles away, with rail links to both cities (6 & 10 mins respectively) and excellent shopping including an independent butcher’s and a grocer, as well as both a Waitrose and Tesco superstore. Bristol Airport is just 10.5 miles to the west, reaching most major European destinations and connecting International flights. Tolzey Cottage is a historic village house, formally known as Tolzey House from which tolls were collected from travellers trading between Bristol and Bath. Queen Charlton itself formed part of the historic Keynsham Abbey estate, and upon the dissolution of the monasteries was given to Catherine Parr – at which point the “Queen” was added to “Charlton”.This fine family home has been much loved by the current owners, and within the ownership of the house is also the ownership of the village green – directly in-front of the property and opposite the pretty St. Margaret’s church. The Green hosts a village fete every June, and upon it is a C12th cross which is now a scheduled ancient monument.
