6 Bed in Portishead (oc-m32094)

Dating back over 500 years, and set in large, gated grounds in Portishead on the Somerset coast, this sophisticated rural retreat is the ultimate getaway for a memory-making break with family and friends. Located in the heart of Portishead's conservation area, this secluded spot is just half a mile from central Portishead, which boasts a harbour with water sports facilities and a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants. The bustling city of Bristol, 11 miles away, boasts vintage markets and a historic harbourside; explore the elegant boutiques at Clifton Village, stroll across the famous suspension bridge, or take a walk on Clifton Downs, all within 8.5 miles. Enjoy some family fun at Bristol Aquarium (9 miles) or ascend the Cabot Tower (9 miles) for breathtaking views. The charming Victorian seaside town of Clevedon, renowned for its iconic pier and beautiful coastal walk, is accessible within 6 miles.


Through the original front door, the grand entrance hallway welcomes you and sets the rustic ambience shared throughout this home-from-home, boasting stunning flagstone flooring and rich wood tones reminiscent of days gone by. Follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the wonderfully cosy lounge, bathed in natural sunlight and boasting a striking inglenook fireplace that embraces the rich heritage of this retreat. Featuring another lovely fireplace and more original features, including exposed beams, the adjoining dining room offers a wonderfully tranquil space to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled. The spacious kitchen, complete with elegant décor that complements the traditional ambience of the rest of the ground floor, will inspire creative minds to whip up something delicious. The snug perfectly combines original features with contemporary comforts; the sumptuous corner sofa and Smart TV provide the ideal setting for the ultimate family film night. A super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be made up as a twin) is a welcome addition to the ground floor. Featuring exposed brickwork, delightful beams, and lovely views to wake up to, the four bedrooms on the first floor offer an oasis of calm to retire to at the end of a long day. You’ll find one king-size with an additional single day bed with a curtained en-suite bathroom, one double with an en-suite bathroom, one king-size four poster with an additional single bed and one double bedroom on this level, as well as a sophisticated family shower room. Up a steep cottage-style staircase, the second floor encompasses an en-suite shower room and a king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be made up as a twin) with a Smart TV, perfect for late-night films or lazy morning lie-ins.


The enclosed south-facing front garden offers a lovely suntrap to enjoy on a fine summer evening by dining alfresco on the terrace. Children and big kids alike can head to the rear garden and into the former stable building to enjoy a game of table football or table tennis in the games room. The old stable building is also home to the wonderful hot tub. Explore the lovely private gardens shared only with the owners, recently enhanced with a cut-flower garden that provides seasonal blooms, making it ideal for tranquil walks. Please note that dogs and children should be supervised at all times while outside in the grounds. There is private parking for five cars at the property.
