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.

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. 2 3 4 SITE PLAN GROUND FLOOR PLAN Silver Birch collection Store Oil Tank PADDOCK 2 Conservatory GLEBE LAND Indoor Pool PONDS CROQUET LAWN COURTYARD LAWN Garden Garage 3 House OUTBUILDINGS POND PADDOCK 1 FRUIT GARDEN STABLES Garage 2 KITCHEN GARDEN TERRACE Wood Store Porch STUDIO & INDOOR POOL Cellar + Bins Store 4.49 x 2.67m 4.60 x 4.57m T H E S T 14'7 x16'1 15'1 x15' 8.22 x 14.6m R EEEET Breakfast T Boot 27 x 14'6 Garage 1 Kitchen Room Drawing Room Hall Room M A N O R F A R M Utility Boiler 4.91 x 4.62m 5.72 x 4.63m 4.66 x 4.63m MANOR FARM COTTAGE HAY Cloaks 16'1 x15'1 18'7 x15'2 15'3 x 15'2 LOFT Sitting Room Dining Hall Study Sitting room Kitchen FLAT 3.89 x 4.37m Hall 12'7 x14'3 Porch Lobby M5 MANOR FARMHOUSE M4 M4 M4 WALES LONDON M32 A4174 RING ROAD LOCATION M5 BRISTOL A4 2 2,443 ft2 2 863 ft2 2 8,369 ft2 KEYNSHAM SALTFORD NEWTON A46 Ground floor 227 m 80.2 m 777.5 m A37 A4 ST LOE 2 2 B3116 First floor 188.4 m 2,028 ft 2 2 A4 Domestic offices 23.1 m 248 ft PENSFORD Manor Farm 2 2 Manor Farm Cottage Total Gross Floor Area A39 Second floor 79.7 m 858 ft BATH Pool & Conservatory Garage one 19 m2 204 ft2 MARKSBURY 2 2 A368 110.4 m 1,188 ft BISHOP Granary Garage two & three 24 m2 258 ft2 SUTTON CHELWOOD 2 448 ft2 A368 41.6 m Studio/Office 6 ROUNDABOUT Garage four & five 34.2 m2 368 ft2 50.2 m2 540 ft2 Hay Loft Flat STOWEY M5 A37 EXETER WELLS FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR PLAN STABLE YARD Muck 9.88 x 5.08m 32'4 x 16'6 Compost Studio Outbuilding Compost GRAVEL YARD COURTYARD LAWN Fruit POND Stable 2 Stable 1 Feed Store Paddock TERRACE Croquet Lawn Bathroom2 Bathroom1 Hay Store Outbuilding Dressing 4.45 x 5.12m 6.32 x 5.03m 14'6 x16'8 20'7 x16'5 Kitchen Garden Bedroom 2 Bedroom 1 Silver Birch STABLE YARD collection Bathroom4 2.89 x 4.63m Recess 9'2 x15'1 MANOR FARM COTTAGE HAY LOFT FLAT 4.83 x 4.63m 4.65 x 4.63m 5.79 x 3.98m 19 x 13' Bedroom 4 15'8 x15'1 15'2 x15'1 Void over Bedroom 2 Hall Wet-room Garages 4 & 5 Sitting room 4.45 x 5.12m Living/Dining Bedroom Landing Bedroom 3 Field Bedroom 1 14'6 x16'8 Kitchen area 4.45 x 5.12m Shelter 4.45 x 5.12m Gallery 4.45 x 5.12m 14'6 x16'8 Store Oil tank 14'6 x16'8 Bathroom 14'6 x16'8 Reception MANOR FARMHOUSE Kitchen/Utility FIRST FLOORShowerroom Bedrooms Bathrooms 4.93 x 4.63m 4.96 x 4.63m 4.96 x 4.63m 16'1 x15'1 16'2 x15'1 16'2 x15'1 Storage Bedroom 5 Bedroom 6 Attic Room Reception Circulation Kitchen/Utility Manor Farm Cottage SECOND FLOOR Bedrooms Hay Loft Flat 7 These plans are for guidance only and must not be relied upon as a statement of fact.
