Detached house for sale in The Street, Olveston BS35

'Green Gates' is a lovely period home, tucked away a short stroll from the heart of 'old' Olveston, opposite the parish church of St.Mary's and just around the corner from the village school. It sits at the front of a beautiful plot of circa 0.45 acres. Mature gardens stretch way back behind, with useful outbuildings and workshop spaces, gated off-street parking, a generous lawn and other 'secret' areas tucked away amidst the mature trees and shrubs - a trip around the garden is a voyage of discovery! We understand the property has been in the ownership of the current family for a considerable amount of time and now presents an opportunity to acquire a unique old village home and take it forwards into the 21st century, creating somewhere accommodating the needs of modern family life. Considerable refurbishment is obviously required, however, with the right vision, hard work and an appropriate budget, there is something special to be created here. The existing accommodation includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms (both ground floor), two separate receptions, kitchen and utility. Subject to necessary consents there is great potential for further extension into the garden. If you are looking for somewhere to make your own mark, in a delightful village setting, this could be right up your street.
