5 Bedroom Terraced House

Dating back to circa 1650, this charming Grade II Listed family home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Almondsbury’s history. The Cottage has evolved beautifully over the centuries, now providing approx. 1,870 Sq.Ft. (173.7 Sq.M.) of versatile accommodation that blends original period character with the comfort and practicality of modern family living.

The home opens through a solid hardwood door into a welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring and a sense of warmth and craftsmanship that continues throughout. The dining room is triple aspect, filled with natural light and featuring a window seat overlooking the rear garden, exposed beams and wood flooring.

The L-shaped sitting room offers cosiness, with a wood-burning stove on a slate hearth, exposed beams, and space for both family relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast/family room is the true heart of the home - a country-style space anchored by a Wedgewood Blue AGA, granite worktops, and generous room for dining and soft seating. French doors open directly to the sun terrace and gardens, creating an ideal layout for everyday living.

A utility/boot room provides practical entry from outdoors, with ample space for laundry, appliances, and storage - the perfect spot after walks or school runs. A cloakroom with W.C. completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms provide flexibility for families or those working from home. The principal bedroom enjoys triple-aspect windows and far-reaching countryside views, while bedroom five doubles as a study or nursery with charming exposed beams. The family bathroom features a freestanding claw-foot bath, while a separate shower room adds convenience for busy households.

Outside, the landscaped gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect, ideal for afternoon and evening sun, with terraces for al fresco dining and a sweeping lawn backing onto neighbouring fields. Views stretch across open countryside toward the Severn Bridges and Portway Grounds. A detached garage/workshop and block pathed driveway provide excellent parking and storage.
