The house offers lateral living and bedroom space that whilst habitable, offer great scope for future plans.

Gardens and Grounds The approach sets a spectacular scene for Priors Croft, with a long drive that meanders through the Prinknash Abbey Estate, ending at the property in this picturesque setting.
There is ample parking for multiple vehicles. The private gardens and grounds of Priors Croft are a fundamental element to the overall opportunity and scope.
Set into three distinct lots, the offering is an extraordinary combination of an immediate garden surrounding the house, an orchard, 3 acre lavender field/paddock and the most exquisite walled garden.
The latter, has historically been used as a holistic haven, offering an immersive and extraordinary setting.
There are many facets to the gardens that make it extraordinary, not least the abundance of fruit trees, a small apple orchard and walkway, beehives, wildflowers and pathways to fully immerse oneself.
The lavender is set within the paddock adjacent to the house, gently sloping to meet a small copse, the abundance of lavender can be cultivated for essential oils.
With a curtilage extending, in total to c5.79, Priors Croft, and its land, overlooks an enchanting valley.
