3 Bed Terraced House, Single Let, Bristol, BS20 7RT £430,000

Gardens & Grounds - The outside space of this charming period cottage is a true extension of its character — thoughtfully landscaped, beautifully maintained, and offering exceptional privacy with stunning views. To the front, the garden is laid to lawn and offers a welcoming green space framed by mature borders. A wood store is neatly positioned, and a pathway leads to the front door, setting the tone for the rest of the property. The rear cottage garden is a real sanctuary. Accessed directly from the sun room, stone steps rise through a wonderfully mature garden brimming with deep-planted flowering shrubs, established fruit trees, and specimen trees that border the garden and merge seamlessly with the adjoining woodland backdrop. This natural setting provides both a sense of privacy and a tranquil, ever-changing outlook throughout the seasons. A large timber decked terrace sits at on the edge of the garden — an ideal spot for al fresco dining or relaxed seating, perfectly placed to take in the panoramic countryside views that stretch as far as the estuary. A generous level lawn leads to a further patio area, offering yet another place to gather with family or friends and enjoy the views, which are simply breath-taking. At the far end of the garden, you’ll find a quality heritage-style greenhouse, perfect for keen gardeners, along with a delightful summer house — an ideal retreat for reading, working from home, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The garden also includes side access via a gate, adding convenience for storage or maintenance, and making the space both practical and versatile. This exceptional garden not only complements the cottage but enhances the overall living experience — offering an idyllic, private outdoor haven with views that truly must be seen to be appreciated.

Access & Parking - Underwood Cottage is approached via a pathway leading from a private road, where parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. This peaceful setting adds to the cottage’s charm and sense of seclusion. A shared pathway runs across the front of three cottages, a traditional and commonly found arrangement for period properties of this nature, adding to the sense of community while preserving the authentic character of the setting.
