“…‘The Butts’ is a medieval term for either a field in which Archery was practiced or two acres of common land upon which fairs were held … which ever you decide this house is named for, it will confirm two things; that a] it was beautifully built a long time ago and b] the wealthy merchant and builder chose one of the finest plots in the country upon which to build. Not only was it built in an age where walls were half a meter thick but the views from the upper floors stretch [as far as my old eyes could see] to Marksbury south of Keynsham and Dundry Hill south off Bristol. The double doors of the main entrance will give you clues to what you might find inside. Turn left inside the entrance and you are in a minute library beyond which is a cloakroom. Across the hall is the Drawing room and you can start to see a hint of the view down across the town. Adjoining is the elegant dining room and in crossing the hall you will find the kitchen with a full range of oaken units and built in appliances. Back to the hall and, through the door at the eastern end we find the living room with its conservatory sun lounge. Follow the house round to the left and you find a generous study. On the first floor you have two south facing bedrooms, both of which command unbelievable views and one of which has a lovely rolled top en-suite bathroom. On the northern aspect is another bedroom. Then we find the gorgeous family bathroom which lies in a small passage. At one end of this passage is a tiny staircase and at the other end a door through which you step down into the master dressing room and en-suite. Go and see this bathroom and you describe it to me … I was lost for words. Oh yes, I nearly forgot. There is an enormous, centrally heated, cellar which is partially converted to create a bar and pool room, or a small cinema room … let your imagination run with this one.
