Вилла Kentshare Lane, Winford, Bristol, North Somerset, BS40

With its most attractive stone elevation with three gables and Bath stone mullion leaded windows, Kentshare is a classic 17th century William & Mary farm house. Principally built in 1689 it is believed its origins date back further. It is Grade Il listed. The interior has many features appropriate to the period and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. It is full of character. All rooms on the ground and first floor have a lovely outlook either over its gardens or to the surrounding Chew Valley countryside.

The dining room has an inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove, flagstone floor, and a fitted dresser in Elm. The family room has a flagstone floor.
