The Laurels presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant property, offered to the market for the first time since 1953. This early 18th-century house boasts unique architectural elements, including classic Georgian features such as window shutters and an elegant staircase. While the property is charming and retains much of its period character, it does require some updating to meet modern living standards. A noteworthy aspect is the adjoining two-bedroom cottage, believed to date from the 17th century, which offers extensive potential for renovation; it could serve as guest accommodation, a home office, or with appropriate planning permissions, be integrated back into the main house.
Nestled within landscaped grounds that include shaped lawns and mature trees, The Laurels enjoys a private setting approached via a tree-lined drive. The interior's layout spans three floors, featuring a welcoming sitting room and dining room with garden views, alongside functional spaces like a pantry and cellar. The outdoor areas further enhance its appeal with various garden features including rose beds and an established fig tree.
Located in Flax Bourton – just outside Bristol – the village adds to the property's attractiveness with local amenities including well-rated schools and shops nearby. With thoughtful renovation, The Laurels could not only be transformed into an exquisite family home but also offers investment potential through the rejuvenation of its historic aspects.
