About this property

A substantial Victorian villa set within 1.175 acres in the hamlet of New Passage, enjoying views towards the Severn Estuary, an ornamental lake, extensive gardens, a triple garage and versatile garden office / gym. The property offers six bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a cloakroom, generous reception space and extensive modernisation, all within easy reach of Bristol.

Queens Lodge is a handsome and generously proportioned Victorian family home, understood to date from the mid–late 19th century, situated in the peaceful hamlet of New Passage in South Gloucestershire. The house enjoys an exceptional semi rural setting with direct access onto the King Charles III England Coast Path and far reaching views towards the Severn Estuary, all set within beautifully established grounds extending to approximately 1.175 acres.

The internal accommodation extends to approximately 3,000 sq ft, with a further 1,102 sq ft of garaging, office, shed and outbuildings, providing a total of approximately 4,102 sq ft overall.

Arranged across three floors, the property combines elegant period character with versatile, well proportioned accommodation ideally suited to modern family life. The ground floor centres around an impressive 22’ kitchen with a large island, Miele appliances, quartz worktops and views across the rear garden, opening through to a separate but adjoining dining room. There is a generous and characterful sitting room with bay window, stripped wooden floors and wood burning stove, alongside a comfortable family room/snug.

Each of the principal rooms enjoys excellent proportions, natural light and original features including picture rails and cornicing. A practical utility room with a separate cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a Jack and Jill shower room serving two bedrooms. The second floor offers a large bedroom with adjoining en suite shower room, together with a sixth bedroom or study, ideal for home working, guests or a teenager’s retreat.

The property has been subject to extensive modernisation, including improved insulation, a solar PV array benefiting from a feed in tariff, and two Zappi electric car charging points, while retaining its period elegance.

Outside
Approached via a stone wall and electric gates, the property enjoys an expansive driveway leading through formal front lawns to the house and triple garage. A separate outdoor office / gym provides excellent ancillary space for home working or fitness use.

The rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are complemented by four distinct seating areas, allowing the sun to be enjoyed at different times of day, along with a purpose built children’s play area. The gardens benefit from a mature and diverse range of established tree species including beech, hornbeam, silver birch and walnut.

Beyond the formal gardens, the land opens out to an ornamental lake and gently sloping paddocks, with the rear of the gardens leading directly onto further land and enjoying open views across the surrounding countryside towards the Severn Estuary. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 1.175 acres.
