6Detached House
6A substantial and very impressive 6 bedroom detached property set in around 3.4 ACRES with ample parking including a double garage in a wonderful rural location on the outskirts of Congresbury with breath-taking panoramic VIEWS over surrounding countryside
Set in an idyllic rural location on the outskirts of Congresbury, Montreux Farm is a stunning family home that has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of careful extension and enhancement to create a very energy-efficient, flexible property to suit a variety of needs. Currently presented as one large single property, it has been thoughtfully designed to allow the creation of an annexe if required, perhaps to suit a dependent relative or for multi-generational living.
The property is situated in an elevated position, with substantial living room accommodation on the first floor characterised by extensive panoramic views over surrounding countryside and to the Mendip hills beyond. Both the superb dining room to one end and the glazed conservatory to the other demonstrate a sense of "bringing the outside in", and the various French doors and sliding doors in many rooms provide multiple opportunities to sit outside and enjoy the fantastic location.
The spacious, light and airy entrance hall beyond the double wooden front door sets the scene for the accommodation within, with a striking curved wooden staircase. To the right, the elegant dining room includes a wood burner with a slate hearth and a raised dining area allows the wonderful far reaching views to be admired through the multiple windows of the curved bay, and a glazed door provides access to the balcony beyond.
The large, hand-made bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is another highlight of the property, with recessed feature lighting and sinuous pale wooden base units with granite worktops and ample space for an American style fridge/freezer. The very striking large semi-circular central island incorporates a large induction hob, double oven and wine fridge along with space for people to sit and chat with the chef. There is a glazed utility room beyond the kitchen, along with a boiler room and cloakroom, and doors to either side provide paved access around either side of the house to the front.
In the kitchen's dining area stylish vertical radiators flank the wide 6 panelled full length glazed window with French doors opening onto the glazed balcony running across the front of the property. Glazed double oak doors lead through to the spacious sitting room, also with French doors opening onto the balcony, and there is a large wood burner. Two sets of patio doors open onto the spacious conservatory beyond, which is another wonderful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings, with 2 sets of bi-fold doors opening on to a large outdoor dining terrace with glazed balcony beyond.
Should a separate annexe be required, the current sitting room area would be large enough to accommodate a kitchen and dining area, and there is a door to the rear of the property that could become a front door. Stairs lead down past an office (that was formerly a bathroom, and the original plumbing/drainage has been retained) to a large ground floor bedroom with two fitted cupboards and wonderful views from the large window. Separate stairs from the sitting room rise up to the second floor bedroom accommodation, which again could be separated should an annexe be needed, to include a large "L" shaped double bedroom with stylish en-suite shower room and two sets of French doors providing access onto the glazed balcony.
Beyond is a large family bathroom with corner spa bath and large enclosure and 4 further bedrooms, one of which incorporates an en-suite shower room and French doors opening onto a curved glazed balcony above the dining room. The main staircase down to the entrance hall leads down from a wide galleried landing area with additional balcony access.
In addition to the ground floor bedroom, there is a large undercroft storage area and a workshop plus a bike store and double garage, each with remote-controlled doors.
To the front of the property is a paddock of approx. 2.8 acres, with post and rail fencing, and further land may be available by separate negotiation.
Location – Montreux Farm is situated in a rural position on the outskirts of Congresbury, a very popular village with excellent amenities including shops, nursery and primary schools. The property is within the catchment area for the "Outstanding" Churchill Academy and Sixth Form. Further amenities are available nearby in Wrington and regular mainline railway services are within 3 miles from Yatton station (London Paddington from 114 minutes). There is access to the M5 within 7 miles, either at Jct 20 or Jct 21. Bristol Airport is within 6 miles and Bristol city centre approximately 13 miles distant. The surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking, riding and outdoor pursuits.
