Situation

Guy’s Farm is situated in the village of Pensford and lies in the

Chew Valley with the River Chew flowing through the Centre.

Within the village, there is a range of local facilities including a

highly rated primary school, a Post Office, Parish Church, a

selection of Public Houses and a Village Hall.

The predominant feature of the village is the Grade II* listed

disused railway viaduct. The viaduct was constructed in 1874 and

once carried the Bristol and North Somerset railway over the River

Chew.

The nearby village of Chew Magna has a good range of local

shops including a well-stocked supermarket, master butcher,

coffee shop, travel agent, post office and a bank. There are also

four public houses within Chew Magna, one of which (The Pony

and Trap) has been awarded a Michelin star. Guy’s Farm also falls

within the catchment area for the highly regarded Chew Valley

secondary school. There is also a number of independent schools

throughout Bristol, Bath and Wells to choose from.

The village’s situation in the Chew Valley offers commuters

excellent access to the regional centre of Bristol which is 7 miles

to the north and the Heritage City of Bath which is 12 miles to the

east. The Cathedral City of Wells, which offers further facilities, is

16 miles to the south.

The Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes are close by, notable for their

fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities. A visit to Salt

and Malt at Chew Valley Lake is highly recommended, as this

modern tearoom/fish restaurant is owned by the same family as

The Pony and Trap. Further outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed on the

Mendip hills, well known for their limestone features.

High speed rail services to London Paddington are available from

Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa whilst Bristol International

Airport is just 20 minutes away.

The House

The main house is approached off Stanton Lane and comprises

large Sitting / Drawing room (31 x 15 ft) with feature inglenook

fireplace with inset log burning stove and oak lintel over.

Emphasis has been placed on features typical of the era it was

constructed such as Flagstone flooring, exposed wood beams, sash

windows, latch and braced doors to the sitting room and kitchen as

well as a period solid oak door with decorative stone arch to the

rear lobby.

The sitting room has another log burner fire place, exposed

wooden beams, wood flooring and windows to front and rear.

The rear lobby offers access to the garden and is a useful place for

of country cottage style units with a solid wood work surface,

space for a range cooker as well as a range of shelving including

glass fronted display cabinets.

Period style features include plate racks, Belfast sink and flag

stone effect flooring. From the kitchen, a staircase leads to separate

mezzanine floor accommodation that could have a variety of uses.

With potential to be a self-contained annexe, this converted section

of the property is currently split into three rooms; a utility room

with Velux window to the rear and a wood panelled door that

opens onto a Juliet balcony to the front, a bedroom/gym and a

second sitting room. This sitting room enjoys vaulted ceilings with

exposed oak beams and floor to ceiling windows that offer

dramatic views over the fields towards the viaduct.

The main staircase located off the Sitting/ Dining Room, leads up

to a landing with a master bedroom with en-suite. A further

mixture of flower beds.
