It offers ample accommodation, potential for dual occupation, an attic floor ready to be developed, lovely gardens, garaging, and easy access to Bristol and beyond.
Details - Macquarie Farm House is a one-of-a-kind property which comes to the market for the first time in 28 years. Lovingly restored by its current owners, great care has been taken to retain the historic roots by repurposing existing materials and sourcing others to fit the period, all while using traditional methods. The result is a truly unique property with an abundance of features: latched doors, gorgeous bay sash windows with shutters, several fireplaces featuring refurbished period ranges and bread ovens, original wooden floorboards, and flagstones throughout the ground floor, to name but a few.
The origins of the house are believed to date back to the 1700s, and it has had a rich history over the years. On the first floor, there is a Quaker meeting room, now converted into the principal bedroom and ensuite. It is believed that three families lived here. More recently, it has been used for dual occupation by the current owners.
Entering the property through an original front door into the hallway it has room for coats and shoes. To the right is the formal drawing room.
With an original hobgrate range and rustic floorboards this room has all the elegance and proportions of the Georgian period. It is beautifully complimented on the right by a less formal sitting room again with gorgeous arched bay windows and a lovely original inglenook fireplace with wood burner.
Behind here to the left is access to the independent accommodation which provides a dining room (formerly the bakehouse) and then steps down to a lovely traditional farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room. With flagstone flooring, magnificent, beamed ceilings and bespoke custom-built units it also offers space for a cooker, a generous larder and ample space for a dining table. To the rear is a small shower room and a stable door to an enclosed courtyard garden with bricked well under the paving.
Returning to the hallway there are two further reception rooms one currently arranged as a music/family room and another as an office. An inner hallway then leads on to a second, really spacious family kitchen which is currently arranged with free standing furniture and has plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. Courtyard and garden access from here takes you through to what was the threshing barn together with another barn with loft above which flooded with natural light, would make a fantastic studio.
A wide Georgian staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation where you will find the first of four bedrooms, which as a former Quaker meeting room, has high ceilings. A matching en-suite bathroom with roll top bath with shower over, feature fireplace has Jack & Jill access to bedroom two. Two further generous bedrooms are served by a second bathroom, again with roll top bath.
Rising from the landing there is a further set of stairs which lead to the attic floor which comprises of a further 784 sq ft spread over five rooms. Partially renovated by the current owners it is ready for the next owner to add the finishing touches.
