Our Thoughts

“…This imposing Victorian house will appeal to all who like fine architecture at a more than realistic price. Rescued, in recent years, from a period of ignominious commercial usage, this family sized house has been restored and renovated beyond its original fine heritage. The almost “dollhouse” façade with its symmetrical fenestration [balanced window pattern], portico with coloured glass insets [probably Bristol blue and red] all under a double roman tiled roof is bound to appeal to traditionalists but only by entering the 21st Century interior will it true colours emerge. With a formal two reception ground floor extended to offer a further lovely modern kitchen with utility area and a fine bathroom, the rear corridor leads to the “Gordon’s” Yard and car park. On the first floor you will find three bedrooms one of which has the added benefit of en-suite facilities. The real surprise is the second floor where you will find, neatly segued, a master bedroom, a lovely “rolled top” bathroom and a further space that could be bedroom, dressing room, study … you tell us. The small semi circular front garden is bisected symmetrically by the front path and that “Gordon’s” Yard at the rear refers to the ability to perch, lingeringly, on your patio in the setting sun whilst enjoying a G&T whilst having space to park your cars as well…”

Directions

Using the B4061, A38 and B4058 arrive and travel through the village of Charfield attaining the “Renishaw” roundabout at which you take the third exit signpost marked to Kingswood. As you enter the village turn right at the War Memorial and wiggle through the bends and climb the hill taking the left fork by “Dinnywicks”. The Laurels is now the fine Victorian edifice in front of you and parking is available in several road side locations surrounding the house.
