STOWEY • BISHOP SUTTON • NORTH EAST SOMERSET Stowey is a small, unspoilt village within the Chew Valley It lies south of Chew Valley Lake and north of the Mendip Hills, approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of Bristol, 13 miles (19 km) west of Bath and 13 miles (19 km) north of the City of Wells. Stowey was in the ownership of the Strachey family for many years. The uninterrupted occupation of the Sutton Court Estate helped to maintain the architectural style of the village, which remains unspoilt. The Church is mediaeval and the brook, which rises near the church, is mentioned in Collinson’s ‘History of Somerset’ [1791]. Many social and sporting activities are shared with neighbouring villages, which include tennis, cricket, literature and drama clubs. The beautiful Chew Valley Lake has bird watching, sailing and fishing facilities, and the rural setting also provides opportunities to ride and hunt. There is a good selection of private schools in Bristol, Bath and Wells; Clifton College, QEH, Badminton, Kingswood, King Edwards, Wells Cathedral School and Millfield in Street, to mention a few. The Chew Valley Comprehensive is highly regarded. Chew Valley Lake

There is an option to buy 9 acres of neighbouring grassland. 1 Manor Farm has been in the same ownership since 1981. During this period it has been completely renovated and converted from a derelict farmhouse to provide exceptional family accommodation. The grounds and outbuildings provide the facilities for any number of rural pursuits. The property dates from the 17th century. Fine examples of the original architectural details, in particular the cross-beamed ceilings and fireplaces, have been retained in the older parts of the house. The day-to-day living areas have been arranged on the south side, facing an enclosed courtyard garden.

GRANARY A granary stands alone and houses an indoor swimming pool with complementary conservatory living/dining area. The terrace to the south with a wisteria and vine covered oak pergola overlooks the croquet lawn. The flagstone patio on the east side becomes one with the conservatory when the glazed doors are fully open. The first floor, known as the Eyrie, has been the owner’s Design and Architectural studio/office. It has commanding and distracting views. It is self contained and accessed via a magnificent external flight of stone steps.

THE STABLE YARD The stable yard has two large loose boxes, a fodder store and an open sided hay barn. On the west side there is a large workshop with potential for other uses. Adjacent and accessed through a covered way there is a gravel yard with an implement shed.
