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.

The House Chelwood Farm House is an attractive and substantial four bedroom family home arranged over three floors. The house is believed to be around 300 years old, however the property is not listed. One of the key features of the property is the location and privacy. Whilst the house is situated in the heart of the village, the private driveway ensures that the house is barely visible from the road and the superb garden provides a good level of seclusion. The accommodation throughout the house is bright and airy, whilst still retaining a number of character features, including exposed stone work and feature fireplaces. Upon arrival at the property the driveway leads to the front of the house and the detached double garage. There is also ample parking for numerous vehicles.

The dual aspect sitting room is generously well-proportioned, having French doors opening to the rear patio and garden beyond, within the room there is also a feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. On the other side of the house beyond the reception hall is the kitchen. Refurbished in recent years the kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and floor cupboards, with complimentary tiled splash backs and ample worktops, there is also a central island unit/breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is the dining room, with double doors opening into the conservatory, which in turns allows for access to the patio area and the rear garden beyond. Next to the dining room is the study, this completes the ground floor accommodation. The stairs from the ground floor lead to the light and airy first floor landing, a further flight of stairs rise to the second floor.

  • Tablet August 2015
    THREE PARISHES NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2015 The Benefice Letter Dear Friends British values are under threat! They are being challenged from two quarters: the growth of ISIS and the political direction of the European Union. When I was at school in the 1950s British values were relatively simple. We had recently been on the winning side in the Second World War and a new monstrous ‘other’ had emerged – the Soviet Union. We regularly sang Hearts of Oak, composed in 1760 in celebration of naval victories in the Seven Years War. ‘We’ll fight and we’ll conquer again and again!’ This year we celebrate the anniversaries of two more victories: Waterloo (19th June, 1815) and Agincourt (25th October, 1415). On September 12th, the Albert Hall will resound to the words of the famous patriotic songs: Rule Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory (‘Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set!’) Are we unique in defining our national identity in terms of military victories? I don’t think so. The words of the French La Marseillaise are much more bloodthirsty than our National Anthem. In the United States, the current crop of potential candidates (twelve as I write) for the Republican nomination for the Presidential election of 2016 are engaged in a competition to prove how ‘American’ they are by advocating new military interventions. The most recent entry, Donald Trump, has extended the targets beyond the usual Middle Eastern states by promising to ‘defeat’ China and to build a wall along the border between the USA and Mexico (and to make the Mexicans pay for it).
