Description

An extraordinary chance to rejuvenate a distinctive thatched house nestled within a Grade II registered historic garden. This detached property, positioned majestically above the Avon Gorge, offers significant investment potential by allowing you to restore its character and charm. Encompassing approximately 1.35 acres of established woodland, the grounds feature dramatic slopes leading to the Nightingale Valley below. The traditional thatched roof is a hallmark of its historic allure, now awaiting extensive refurbishment throughout both the interior and exterior spaces. The layout spans two levels, with the ground floor comprising a kitchen, utility room, principal bedroom complete with dressing area and en suite bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms each equipped with their own bathrooms. The first floor boasts a grand reception room alongside another adjoining space, with a balcony that provides stunning views of the surrounding lake and woodlands. Two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and a WC complete this level. Externally, there are treehouses in need of repair, along with a garage and various ancillary structures. The gardens—designed by renowned rock and water specialists Pulham & Son between 1908 and 1910—contain distinctive Pulhamite rockwork features such as pools and cascades which remain despite their current condition. Given the property's disrepair status and potential hazards present in its condition as well as that of the grounds, prospective buyers should proceed with caution during viewings under strict guidance from Savills representatives.
