  • Located close to the picturesque Chew Valley lake nearby offering beautiful views, fishing, sailing and bird watching
Property code: OC-CHELA

In the Chew Valley, a canine heaven, sits this delightful single-storey barn conversion. Welcoming those of you with both two and four legs, you can spend days exploring and evenings relaxing in this home from home. When a trip out seems too much of an adventure, enjoy the enclosed garden and fill the air with laughter, woofs and tail wags.

The open-plan hub of the house is a comfortable space with light flooding in through the large French doors. Settle into the cosy sofa and switch on the TV or just switch off and admire your green surroundings. With fantastic views across the garden and land beyond, no doubt noses will be pressed up against the doors and paws will itch to get outside. Tempt your furry guest inside with tasty morsels rustled up in the contemporary kitchen area before cooking up a storm and dining with your fellow two-legged guests at the table. Doze off in the bedrooms and look forward to a morning coffee and game of fetch on your charming patio area. In warmer months, dine alfresco and enjoy a BBQ or some yummy titbits under the setting sun. If paws get muddied, the contemporary bathroom means you can freshen up and towel down in style.

Chew Valley Lake lies less than 2 miles from home and is a wonderful spot for chewing sticks, playing fetch and chasing your tail. Hop in the car and discover the natural beauty of the Mendip Hills, 10 miles away, where breath-taking viewpoints, dramatic gorges and many a new scent await. Cosmopolitan Bristol is just 12 miles from your door and is home to tasty harbourside eateries to fill hungry tummies which have roamed this vibrant city.
