Guide Price £495,000 - £550,000 (Tenant Fees)

This spacious family house has been a treasured home for the present owners since new and with their ownership now moving into its sixth decade, they feel it is time to downsize a little and give another lucky buyer their period of tenure. Our vendor clients have now found and secured a property through Hensons and will be ready to move to suit you, subject to contract in the usual way.

The house was originally built in 1969 and the property was snapped up by the present owners who were lucky to secure their almost forever home in this lovely position. There are just seven detached houses here in this broad cul de sac that is off a quiet no through village lane which is located in the old village area of Nailsea.

Over time each property has been altered to a lesser or greater extent creating an individual air and this particular house occupies the prime setting and has been enlarged on the ground and first floor with a further unattached suite at the bottom of the garden that is suitable for a variety of uses including excellent offices at home or even potentially an annexe. While the house has been enlarged and the ancillary accommodation added there is still a very good garden that takes full advantage of a more open southerly and just as importantly westerly aspect ensuring that there is sunshine to be enjoyed right into the evening.

The house stands only a short walk from the main amenities offered in Nailsea and close to Nailsea School. Most of the wide range of amenities in the town are centred on the pedestrianised shopping area and High Street including large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, Doctors and Dental surgeries and bank.

The town centre also hosts a monthly farmers market and there are several café’s, bistros, an Indian restaurant, a gastro pub and traditional pubs together with several takeaways. There is high employment, and the schools are good or outstanding with Nailsea School and Backwell schools both remaining very popular choices.

The Accommodation:
The driveway arrives at a deep car port that shelters the front door which in turn opens to the reception hall.

A cloakroom is arranged to one side off the hall and a ½ return staircase rises to the first floor with storage space beneath There are also doors opening to two of the three reception rooms.

The principal reception room, a large living room, offers a pleasing double aspect and has a feature fireplace. The space here is excellent and the comfortable feeling is enhanced by the two large double-glazed windows. The house is double glazed and further energy efficient alterations and additions have included uprated insulation and the installation of solar panels that are owned outright and the full benefit of them with maximum feed in tariff profits index linked for a total of 25 years from first registration.

The dining room also offers a double aspect but here the outlook is over the private patio and part of the rear garden through to the sitting room. The dining room has been altered to form an open plan layout with the kitchen and sitting room. The kitchen is partially divided away by a peninsular division and is fitted with a wide range of genuine pine cabinets that can be colour altered if required. There are extensive laminated worksurfaces, a corner slot in cooker space (the cooker could be available by negotiation) using the shape of the room to its best and an inset 1½ bowl sink. Over worktop lighting is provided and the wall cupboards are plentiful too. In addition, there are integrated appliances, a fridge, a freezer and a dishwasher.

The dual aspect sitting room area is a great asset and there are patio doors opening to the garden while an adjoining utility room accommodates the oil fired boiler with room for a washing machine and tumble dryer and leads beyond to a pillared porch area, the garage and carport.

On the first floor, the spacious landing leads to the family bathroom and the four double bedrooms. The bathroom has a thermostatically controlled shower over the bath, a basin and a WC with complementary tiling and under floor heating.

Next to the bathroom is the dressing area that is part of the first bedroom suite. The layout of the house allows for a good part of the dressing area to be converted to an en suite shower room if required and still offer space for wardrobes without materially affecting the main area of this room that still enjoys a further double aspect with patio doors opening to a west facing balcony where you might view some fabulous sunsets according to our clients.

Bedroom two also has fitted wardrobes and two windows offering an outlook to the side and to the front. Bedroom three has fitted furniture and overlooks the cul de sac and the fourth bedroom is still a comfortable albeit slightly smaller double room.

Outside: The setting is another attraction of the house with a neat and easily managed garden to the front. The front, side and rear gardens are bounded by walls with higher walls framing the private areas of garden.

The drive and carport provide parking for several cars and there is a garage with lighting, power and a personnel door to the side. Attached to the rear of the garage is a storeroom and a further slightly narrower store, the larger of these spaces currently accommodates the oil storage tank. A porch adjacent then leads to an excellent office ,hobbies room or studio.

The rear garden is of very good size and is particularly well screened with walling and timber panel fencing. A series of mature trees, which have perseveration orders, follow the bottom boundary and offer further good screening.

The garden is laid mainly to level lawn with an extensive paved patio area. Both the lawn and patio have an open aspect to the south and west, perfect for sun right into the evening. Services:
