The double aspect Living Room is a very comfortably proportioned room, with an outlook over the forecourt towards St. Andrews Church tower and doors leading to the garden room. A focal point within the room is the open fireplace with an integrated Jetmaster style high efficiency wood burner (dual fuel).
A doorway leads to a bright study that has fitted book shelving and a view to the rear garden. The garden room is an excellent addition to the original accommodation with a tiled insulated roof, glazed panels for added light and French doors to the patio and lawn.
A perfectly orientated dining room of good size also overlooks the rear gardens and for those seeking to make alterations this room adjoins the kitchen therefore creating a tremendous opportunity to create a kitchen diner- family room of over 26’ x almost 11’.
The existing kitchen breakfast room is already ample with plenty of space for informal dining. There is a full range of fitted wall and floor cupboards and an outlook to a walled terraced area of the garden. An arch leads through to a utility room with access beyond to the garden and workshop/hobbies room. A door also opens from the utility room to the double garage.
The attractive wide staircase rises to the expansive landing above with traditional turned balusters.
All of the bedrooms and the family bathroom are laid out off the landing and each is spacious with one having been used as a large second study.
The 22’ (6.89m) principal bedroom with its dressing area space and roomy en suite is a further feature of the house with a series of windows offering lovely views of Church Lane, the village and across the vale for several miles.
Perhaps some of the fixtures and fittings at the house will be judged as being of an earlier than 21st century style and the owners (who are able to sell without an onward chain delay) have taken this into account when pricing the house. That said, irrespective of price, houses of this quality in such attractive locations are very difficult to find in Backwell, especially coveted Church Lane so please do not delay arranging your viewing appointment.
Outside:
Stone walls flank the approach to this and the neighbouring house with planted borders adding colour.
The drive is initially shared with the neighbour allowing turning space and then the drive arrives at a wide private, block paved area that allows virtually level parking for at least 3 cars in front of the garage and workshop/hobbies room.
A gate at the side of the house offers access to a path that extends to the rear with the boundaries formed by local stone walls. A planted terrace adjoins the path that continues to the charming, mature south and west facing garden.
The garden is extensively planted with a wide variety of specimen shrubs and bushes that frame the lawn.
A summer house is set to one side and designed to take in sunshine later in the day and early in the evening. We gather that there are beautiful sunset views over the village too.
The Village:
Backwell is arguably the most sought-after village in North Somerset with a wide variety of local amenities including doctors and dental surgeries and good schooling.
Local leisure prospects are similarly attractive and for the commuter, Backwell is very well placed with Bristol just 8 miles away. Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are also both within 8 miles and the main line railway station that is less than a 15-minute walk away, facilitates long distance commuting with direct trains to London – Paddington. The SUSTRANS cycle network is close by with access to Bristol and many other destinations. For more distant destinations, Bristol airport is under 6 miles away, but the village is not under any low-level flight paths.
Between Backwell and neighbouring Nailsea there are a host of clubs and societies for all ages and interests with Swimming, Tennis, Badminton, Bowls, Ruby, Cricket, Croquet and Football to mention just a few of the sporting facilities available.
There are Gyms in Nailsea and Backwell and a David Lloyd club just 5 miles away on the edge of Bristol. Town centre facilities are offered in Nailsea with a large Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, independent and national retailers.
