Badminton Road, Old Sodbury, BS37 6LR

Occupying an enviable village setting and rarely available to the market, The Gables is an imposing Grade II listed attached period residence of significant architectural and historic interest, dating back to the late 17th century. This substantial family home offers beautifully proportioned and elegant accommodation arranged over three floors, with additional attic space within its distinctive gables, and is rich in character and period features throughout. Constructed in the Cotswolds vernacular style, the property sits proudly in a tucked-away, screened position set back from Badminton Road, where its scale, design and surrounding parkland trees reflect the wealth and status of its original owner. Despite its peaceful and private setting, The Gables is just a short, level walk from the heart of Chipping Sodbury, providing convenient access to a range of schools, shops and local amenities. Once inside the front door character grabs your attention from every angle, the ground floor coming with a welcoming entrance hall and showcasing a gorgeous Listed staircase. From here you will have access to two generous reception rooms, one with a grand inglenook fireplace, then the other with dual aspect and detailed panelling to the windows. There is also a fabulous boot room/utility room with lots of storage and access to the rear garden. You are then invited into an impressive extension which blends beautifully with the charm of the original building whilst incorporating some lovely modern design features. A fantastic kitchen with cooking range, large central island and walk-in pantry has doors overlooking the pretty cottage garden. This then flows into a second hallway, where you have a ground floor shower room and a possible ground floor bedroom or study. A contemporary curved staircase leads up to a glorious reception room which could easily be used as a guest bedroom or additional sitting room, plus there is a further study found here too. The first and second floor provide 4 large double bedrooms, two come with ensuite shower rooms in addition to 2 family bathrooms. Externally, the grounds are well maintained including a large front garden with lawn and gravel driveway providing ample parking and turning. The rear is equally as pleasant with pretty blossoms and mature trees, a large patio area plus an attractive timber summer house. A unique opportunity to continue the custodianship of this wonderful old village home.
