Situation
Guy’s Farm is situated in the village of Pensford and lies in the
Chew Valley with the River Chew flowing through the Centre.
Within the village, there is a range of local facilities including a
highly rated primary school, a Post Office, Parish Church, a
selection of Public Houses and a Village Hall.
The predominant feature of the village is the Grade II* listed
disused railway viaduct. The viaduct was constructed in 1874 and
once carried the Bristol and North Somerset railway over the River
Chew.
The nearby village of Chew Magna has a good range of local
shops including a well-stocked supermarket, master butcher,
coffee shop, travel agent, post office and a bank. There are also
four public houses within Chew Magna, one of which (The Pony
and Trap) has been awarded a Michelin star. Guy’s Farm also falls
within the catchment area for the highly regarded Chew Valley
secondary school. There is also a number of independent schools
throughout Bristol, Bath and Wells to choose from.
The village’s situation in the Chew Valley offers commuters
excellent access to the regional centre of Bristol which is 7 miles
to the north and the Heritage City of Bath which is 12 miles to the
east. The Cathedral City of Wells, which offers further facilities, is
16 miles to the south.
The Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes are close by, notable for their
fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities. A visit to Salt
and Malt at Chew Valley Lake is highly recommended, as this
modern tearoom/fish restaurant is owned by the same family as
The Pony and Trap. Further outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed on the
Mendip hills, well known for their limestone features.
High speed rail services to London Paddington are available from
Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa whilst Bristol International
Airport is just 20 minutes away.

opens onto a Juliet balcony to the front, a bedroom/gym and a
second sitting room. This sitting room enjoys vaulted ceilings with
