Denny Lane, Chew Magna, Bristol

It has been built to a high specification with solid oak doors, skirtings, architraves, window boards and stairs and with windows and external doors in Iroko. The ground floor is tiled in travertine marble throughout to take advantage of the underfloor heating provided by the economical ground source heat pump which also provides hot water (there is an alternative immersion heater for summer use), doing away with the need for a boiler and the expense of oil.

The sitting room with its high ceiling with a large stone chimney breast and oak lintel below which is fitted a Morso woodburning stove. A glazed double doorway leads out onto a brick patio.

Denny Lane is on the Bristol Cycleway and the national Sustrans cycle route joins it at Chew Lake.

Chew Magna has been described by the Sunday Times as 'the best village in Britain' due to its unspoilt character, excellent amenities, and proximity to the city. You can be in the city or on the motorway in less than half an hour, with the convenience of having the airport a mere 10 minutes away but without the inconvenience of being under the flight path.

The village has a supermarket, post office, shops and good pubs serving the whole of the beautiful Chew Valley. The local schools are outstanding and Chew Valley secondary school has a particularly strong reputation. Chew Magna is in an area of outstanding natural beauty between Bristol and Bath, close to the lakes with the Mendip hills as a southern backdrop. Chew Lake is home to a vibrant sailing club and is a world renowned fishing and bird watching venue. Salt & Malt restaurant by the lake has ample parking with walks beyond around the lake perimeter. On the other side of the lake overlooking it, is The Woodford, a very nice all-day café / restaurant open to fisherman and the general public.
