Sold STC
GUIDE PRICE RANGE: £625,000 - £650,000
A very large grade II listed semi-detached house (circa 2,700 sq. ft.) dating from 1718 in need of renovation with ample parking, generous gardens and an 800 sq. ft. detached barn with lapsed planning permission to convert into a coach house.
Quakers Meet has an intriguing history - believed to be a meeting house for the Quakers from the 1670s with the current house dating from the early 1700s with later 19th century additions. The Quakers met regularly here until the late 19th century and the house is believed to have been separated in the mid 20th century.
The house has become dated over time and offers huge potential to update and possibly re-model to suit a wide variety of requirements. Principally 4 bedrooms, 3 receptions plus kitchen and 2 bath/shower rooms and ground floor wc.
Outside there are generous gardens on 3 sides, a large parking area and an 800 sq. ft. detached barn which has lapsed planning permission for conversion into a residential Coach House.
The area of Kingsweston provides immediate access into Blaise Castle Estate and an even longer history with a Romano British Fort on Kingsweston Hill and the house itself sitting on a junction of Roman Roads.
Blaise Castle Estate doesn’t need much introduction and has 650 acres of parkland, woodland walks and a limestone gorge dissected by the Hazel Brook which meets with the River Trym towards the southern section of the Estate. The Estate also has an adventure playground for kids, a café and museum.
Well located and within striking distance of Clifton (4km) and the vast array of amenities that Bristol has to offer, convenient for the M4/M5 and Cribbs Causeway whilst offering a gentler feel and more green and leafy outlook and environs.
