Ottery Villa Stanton Wick | Pensford | BS39 4DA Ottery Villa Stanton Wick | Pensford | BS39 4DA Ottery Villa.indd 1 01/09/2017 11:48 Seller Insight This remarkable, spacious, family bungalow sits amidst its own extensive plot of land with a large vegetable garden and fruit trees set in a stunning landscape, in the pretty hamlet of Stanton Wick. Stanton Wick offers a local pub, The Carpenters Arms, whilst the nearby villages of Pensford and Bishop Sutton each provide local Post Offices, shops and country pubs. A further advantage is the proximity to the cities of Bath, Bristol and Wells all offering a wide variety of cultural and leisure activities, together with outstanding shops and restaurants. The area offers first rate education opportunities, with a wide range of both state and independent schools easily accessible. In addition close by are tennis clubs, gyms and beautiful golf courses, plus trout fishing and sailing on Chew Valley lake. “After living in Bath for many years, we sought a home in a more rural location, but one which would be convenient for our active family life. Plus, we required easy access to road and rail links for business travel. Our search was quite arduous but, on viewing Ottery Villa, we fell in love with its fabulous, convenient and beautiful, location. Its potential to become our perfect home was obvious, and we came to live here in 2010. We undertook several large, practical, tasks and also improved the internal layout of our home to provide more flexible living; one major improvement was the creation of our large kitchen/dining room. It’s a fabulous home, with lots of space to undertake a variety of activities. Malcolm works from home and has a roomy study in a quiet part of the house, and which, conveniently, opens out onto the sunny terrace overlooking the garden.” “The garden and its surroundings certainly provide the ‘wow’ factor. When the weather permits, we enjoy dining or relaxing on the large terrace which can be accessed direct from three of our rooms. It is a truly exceptional outlook over the valley and its surroundings. The garden is not only beautiful but also very useful. We have a very productive large vegetable plot which easily provides for the five of us. There is a 600 square foot poly-tunnel in which we grow tomatoes, pomegranates, figs, melons, cucumbers, chilies, asparagus and butternut squash.” “In the summer months, everyone tends to mingle in the kitchen/dining room. It is very much the hub of our family life, and does have a friendly, welcoming, ambience. When we have parties, everyone seems to gather in here to chat whilst food is being prepared.” “Being on the edge of the Mendip Hills, there are many walks direct from the house, a favourite being to our friendly, local pub, which serves excellent meals, and is only five minutes from the house.” ”Our large main reception room, comes into its own in the winter, particularly at Christmas when our family are here, the wood burning stove is aglow. The high ceiling enables a large Christmas tree to be erected, all helping to make the day special and a very happy one for all concerned.” “Our children have now flown the nest and the house is outgrowing our requirements. We will feel sad saying goodbye to what has been a stupendous home in a fabulous location, and one which has given us an exceptional quality of life whilst here.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

    2011 Lake Odyssey was a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring local history through the arts with a particular focus on the 1950’s, when Chew Valley Lake was made. This was a major local event. The town of Moreton was fl ooded to make way for a reservoir supplying water to South Bristol and the Queen visited the area to offi cially open and inaugurate the lake in 1956. The Lake Odyssey 2011 project gave pupils at Chew Valley School and their cluster of primary schools a chance to explore the history of their community in a fun and creative way. Pupils took part in various workshops throughout the spring and summer of 2011 to produce the content for the fi nal Lake Odyssey event day on Saturday 16th July 2011, which saw the local community come together for a day of celebration and performance at Chew Valley Lake. Balloon Launch The Lake Odyssey 2011 project offi cially launched on Friday 4th March with a balloon re- lease. Year seven and eight pupils released the balloons to mark and celebrate the occasion. A logo competition had been running within the primary cluster and Chew Valley School to fi nd a design for the Lake Odyssey logo. The winners were announced by Heritage Lottery representative Cherry Ann Knott. The lucky winners were Bea Tucker from East Harptree Pri- mary School and Hazel Stockwell-Cooke from Chew Valley School, whose designs featured in all publicity for the Lake Odyssey 2011 project. Bishop Sutton Songwriting Swallow class from Bishop Sutton Primary School took part in a song writing workshop, com- posing their own song from scratch with Leo Holloway.

  • School Admission Arrangements
    School Admission Arrangements Introduction The Partnership Trust (‘the Trust’) welcome applications on behalf of any child. The Trust has developed and published these Admission Arrangements to help explain the admission application process clearly and comprehensively, so that parents and children are suitably informed when choosing and applying for a preferred school. The arrangements comply with the requirements of the 2014 School Admissions Code and the 2012 School Admission Appeals Code issued, issued under Section 84 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. Any concern regarding statutory compliance, fairness or equality of local policy/practice, should be directed to the Trust via any of its schools. If the matter cannot be resolved locally, a complaint may be raised with the Office of the Schools Adjudicator (see Part 7 for contact details). Every admission application received will be administered in a fair and equitable way, in strict accordance with published policy and practice. The Trust Board is the Admission Authority for all schools in The Partnership Trust and as such, is responsible for determining the admissions policy and arrangements for its Schools in accordance with admissions law and DfE codes of practice. Additionally, the Trust Board is responsible for informing the Diocese of any changes to admission arrangements in Church Schools that are part of the Trust. The Board shares protocols it has drawn up for managing admissions in accordance with the 2012 Admission Code with each of the schools’ Local Governing Bodies. If you would like to discuss your specific requirements or need further help with any aspect of the admissions process, please contact the school at which you wish to apply for a place.

  • THE TURNPIKE ROADS of HIGH LITTLETON and HALLATROW The
    THE TURNPIKE ROADS OF HIGH LITTLETON AND HALLATROW The village today is served by two main roads, the A37 from Bristol to Shepton Mallet and the A39 from Bath to Wells. These grew out of the old turnpike roads, which owed their existence to various Acts of Parliament in the eighteenth century. Travel in the first half of the 18th century was slow and hazardous at the best of times. Generally speaking roads were in an atrocious condition and most hills were all but impassable to coaches in winter and bad weather. Roads within the parish boundary were supposed to be kept in good repair by the parish, for which the wherewithal was provided by statute labour or a rate levied on landowners. However, in some places there were expanses of road, which were a good distance from centres of population, with few persons available and willing to undertake the repair, because they gained little benefit from so doing. Bath Turnpike In order to facilitate travel between the more important towns, Turnpike Trusts were established to “privatise” the main roads by undertaking the improvement, maintenance and extension of existing roadways in return for charging tolls to road users. Bath Turnpike Trust, established under an Act of 1707, was the first such Trust in North Somerset. A further Act was passed in 1 George III (1760/1), which provided for the construction of the Lower Wells Road (as distinct from the Upper Wells Road, which went through Radstock). This was more or less on the line of the present A39 from Bath through Corston, Marksbury, Farmborough, High Littleton and Hallatrow, with tollgates at Newton St.
