Burghope ManorWinsley

SituationBurghope Manor is one of the centre pieces of “Old Winsley” as it is referred to by local residents. The house is very well placed for easy access to Bath and to excellent schools including Winsley Primary School, Monkton Combe School and Prior Park College to name but a few. There are many great walks around Winsley, but one of our favourites is to go down the lane to the rear of the Bowls Club, which leads down to the Cricket Club from where you can walk down to Avoncliff e, taking in the stunning scenery. In the village is the highly regarded Seven Stars public house, a convenience store with Post Offi ce, Doctors’ Surgery and a popular farm shop and café. An excellent bus service runs to both Bath and nearby Bradford on Avon.

DescriptionBurghope Manor has its origins dating back to circa 1317 with later additions to the original footprint. The oldest part of the house is Cruck construction. There have been a number of changes including in the 15th Century the addition of the stone front porch. Burghope Manor is attached and forms the larger portion of the house. There is a separate wing to the rear which does not intrude on the main house. The driveway to Burghope Manor is owned by the house and gives access to a second property which is set to the eastern end of the grounds.

The house has a wealth of period features including stone mullioned windows with a comprehensive range of leaded windows. The roof is tiled in Cotswold stone tiles and carries the classic degradation of sized tile from the pitch to the

Entering the house, the grand panelled entrance hall leads through to a beautiful drawing room with double aspect and French doors.
