This one-of-a-kind property, with origins believed to date back to the 1700s, occupies grounds of around half an acre in a tucked-away yet, central location in Yatton.
The historic residence, named Macquarie Farm House, comes to the market for the first time in 28 years, having been lovingly restored by its current owners who have taken great care to retain the property’s roots by repurposing existing materials and sourcing others to fit the period. The result is a truly unique property with an abundance of features such as latched doors, bay sash windows with shutters, several fireplaces, original wooden floorboards, and flagstones.
Inside, the formal drawing room features an original hob grate range and rustic floorboards, while the less formal sitting room has arched bay windows and a lovely inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner. There are two further reception rooms one currently arranged as a music/family room and another as an office. The kitchen has a traditional farmhouse style with free-standing furniture.
Also, on the ground floor, there is access to independent accommodation which has a dining room, a small shower room and a kitchen/breakfast room with flagstone flooring, beamed ceilings and bespoke custom-built units.
On the first floor of the house, there are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom was a former Quaker meeting room and has high ceilings and an ensuite bathroom with a roll-top bath, and Jack and Jill access to bedroom two. The other two bedrooms are served by a second bathroom.
On the second floor, the partially renovated attic is spread over five rooms and is ready for the next owner to add the finishing touches.
Outside, the large grounds of around half an acre include several distinct areas including two courtyards, a more formal front garden with a wealth of pretty plants and mature shrubs and there is a woodland wildlife garden at the back surrounded by well-established trees including fruit trees. There is also a pond, a rockery, a very attractive vined courtyard and barn outbuildings.
At the front, there is a double garage and parking space for several vehicles.
