Historic House in a Boom Town

CHURCH House is a deceptively spacious and historic Grade II- listed Tudor house located in the oldest part of Portishead. With strong links to the church, the property is believed to have been built around 1450 and originally housed church employees. On the market for Pounds 525,000, it still retains a wonderful selection of many fine, period features including leaded windows, doors, an inglenook fire, and flagstone floors.

Old House Is Brought Up to Date

AFTER recent refurbishment, this period terrace house in Montrose Park, Brislington, now offers ideal accommodation for a family. On the market for Pounds 179,950, the house has two reception rooms, which both have lovely period fireplaces, there are three bedrooms, a bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs. The kitchen has a range of modern wall and base units and space for a large fridge/ freezer and an integral dishwasher. It also has a range-style oven with a five-ring burner.

An Elegant Period Home

SOME houses built in the 1920s maintain an elegance and poise that is befitting the era of the Charleston and the age of the "Bright Young Things". One such property is this six-bedroom detached family home in Stoke Bishop, which has come on to the market with Richard Harding, with a price tag of a cool million.

Presidential by Name and Nature

IT MAY not be the famous White House, but the presidential stature of this home, overlooking rolling countryside, is something that is worth a look. On the edge of a popular development in Wraxall is this Bryant- built "President"-style, detached house in Church View.

Set in Generous Plot

THIS five-bedroom family home backs on to open fields and is set in an elevated position in the sought-after village of Old Sodbury. It is not far from the charming market town of Chipping Sodbury and has handy motorway access to Bristol and to Bath via the A46.

Big Plot Is a Bonus

LITTLE Court is a well appointed and spacious detached bungalow occupying a rural, very private, but not isolated setting on Winscombe Hill. The accommodation has been much improved by the present owners and is ideal for a family. It is on the market for Pounds 579,000.

Country Living in Great Stlye

THIS period style cottage is in the charming little hamlet of Siston between Bristol and Bath. Having been lovingly restored to a very high standard, Vine Cottage provides country living in great style, says the selling agents Connells, who highly recommended both the quality and location of this property.

Spacious Inside and Out

THIS house in Bell Barn Road has come on to the market with a guide price of Pounds 650,000. Filled with character, the detached family home has many individual features and spacious rooms.

Imposing Terrace has a Hint of Splendour

THE elegant houses in Burlington Road, Redland, are believed to have been designed by architect Thomas Austin in a curious mix of Tudor and Gothic styles. They date from the 1860s and reflect the Victorians' liking for revivalism and experimentation in architectural forms.
