Claverham, Bristol, BS49

Westfield Lodge has remained in the same family since 1981, when it was originally purchased as a collection of former stone farm buildings. Over the years, it has been meticulously transformed into a distinctive and exceptional home, featuring imaginative and flexible accommodation, primarily on a single level. The original barns were cleverly connected to form a quadrangle centred around an inner courtyard, accessed through an archway. At the heart of this courtyard is a sheltered terrace, a delightful suntrap that leads to a recently added magnificent oak-framed orangery, complete with a series of bi-fold doors that bring the outside in. The interior of the home is filled with natural light and is elegantly presented throughout. The west wing of the property is designed to be easily converted into a fully self-contained annexe, making it ideal for dual occupation or a dependant relative.

Entry to the house is through the central courtyard and through a welcoming front door into to the hallway with double doors leading directly to the high-vaulted sitting room. With French doors and views over the garden and featuring, an inglenook fireplace with log burner and an impressive galleried area above, it really does convey a sense of grandeur which is evident throughout the property.

A staircase rises to the spacious gallery landing, the perfect place to relax and enjoy the long views and on to the light and airy dual aspect principal bedroom where you can catch a glimpse of Yatton church. An en suite bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower together with well-planned dressing area with lots of practical storage give this area a touch of luxury.

Returning to the sitting room a door leads through to the games room. Full of character, it has a beamed ceiling, another stone fireplace with log burner and bespoke fitted cabinetry with shelving in the alcoves, a dresser and sideboard all providing lots of useful storage. French doors from here open to the garden.

Off here can be found a suite of rooms which thanks to independent access would make an ideal annexe or could offer potential for Air BnB STPP.

On the east side of the property a large office/study and family room with provide a further two lovely reception rooms and lead through to the kitchen which has recently been remodelled. It is a wonderful space with blue and cream painted wooden units, a matching dresser, a four-oven British racing Green AGA, island with integrated wine racks and a porcelain tiled floor by Mandarin that extends the length of the room and extends through to the spectacular orangery. 42ft long with green oak timbering and a run of bifold windows  which open to the central courtyard of the property this stunning space offers a great opportunity entertaining for family and friends.

Completing the accommodation at the end of the kitchen is a superb guest bedroom suite with bedroom and bathroom and its own separate access to the outside
