A large veranda wraps around the south, east, and north sides of the east wing of the house and includes a screened octagonal pavilion. We have many guests with small children and it is a wonderful house for multi-generational families.
The house sits on 3/4 acre, bordered on three sides by tall cedars and is very private, although it is in the middle of the village. There are flower gardens, fruit trees, a tiny stream, a greenhouse, playhouse, and plenty of lawn. The gardens at Anodyne house are always a treat.
Anodyne House is in a village setting on the Western Gut in South Bristol Village, about 75 feet from the waterfront. There are views across the small harbor. Just out of sight, but only a few hundred yards away, is the swing bridge connecting the mainland to Rutherford's Island. On the other side of the bridge is the Eastern Gut where most of So. Bristol's fishing fleet is moored. Shipyard Road is about a quarter of a mile long, a dead end road which winds along the shore, with 19th century summer cottages at the end.
The house is well suited to families with small children as well as elderly guests and is a wonderful setting for small weddings and multi-generational gatherings, as well as for family vacations.
