5 bed detached house for sale

Plunder Street, Cleeve, Bristol BS49

Tucked deep within its own sweeping grounds, this remarkable country retreat offers the kind of seclusion and tranquillity rarely found today. Approached by a long, meandering drive that gradually unveils the house in all its timeless beauty, the estate feels like a world apart, a private sanctuary where rural serenity, heritage, and refined living meet.

At the centre of more than five acres of landscaped gardens, orchards, and sheltered paddocks, the historic home, dating back to 1648, exudes charm and presence. Its setting is enchanting, its atmosphere peaceful and while the main house would now welcome thoughtful updating, it remains a place of wonderful character, ready for its next chapter.

Inside, the home unfolds through a sequence of elegant rooms, from atmospheric reception spaces perfect for hosting to relaxed, informal areas designed for everyday comfort. Original fireplaces, aged timbers, and historic details contribute to the unmistakable sense of authenticity that defines the property.

Upstairs, five generous bedrooms and multiple bath/shower rooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. The principal suite, overlooking the grounds, remains a highlight - a calming, sunlit retreat.

Beyond the main house, the wider estate offers exceptional scope. A charming cottage provides ideal guest or multi-generational accommodation, while a collection of substantial outbuildings promise remarkable potential. Whether envisioned as dedicated office space, creative studios, wellness facilities, or leisure suites, they offer a rare flexibility seldom found in country properties.

A short stroll through the gardens leads to the completely private outdoor swimming pool, bordered by sun terraces and sheltered seating areas that invite long summer gatherings. Elsewhere, a hard tennis court, croquet lawn, and open paddocks create a countryside lifestyle rich in space, freedom, and outdoor enjoyment.

Secluded, picturesque, and filled with opportunity, this unique estate combines heritage, privacy, and extraordinary potential offering the chance to craft a truly exceptional country lifestyle, exactly as you imagine it.
