The Chimes, Nailsea
£399,950 (Tenant Fees)

An individual architect designed 3 bedroom detached bungalow requiring modernisation but offering a very good spacious layout and a garden of good size in a prime position in this highly desirable residential area opposite the ‘village cricket ground’ at The Grove.

The accommodation flows well from an entrance porch that opens to an appealing and generously proportioned reception hall through to an attractive double aspect living room. There is an excellent open plan kitchen diner complete with French door and matching windows overlooking one of the private areas of the garden with sunshine into the evening. There are three comfortable bedrooms, a bathroom and separate cloakroom while, a drive leads to an attached garage at the side.

We understand the property was originally designed by an architect for his own occupation and is certainly of a pleasing, more individual design. Over the years relatively few updates or alterations have been made and certainly hardly any in recent years with the exception of the uPVC soffits and fascias which appear to more modern. The original ducted warm air central heating system is in situ though it is probable that the boiler no longer functions perhaps explaining the installation of electric night storage heaters. The bungalow does require extensive modernisation and reappointment but the potential is huge.

A tremendous opportunity for the adventurous private buyer with great vision and a desire to improve and add value to a property or, a proposition for speculators or developers.

The garden has great potential too. The size of the plot is more than ample and the gardens are arranged on three sides of the bungalow with the front and south side of the garden bounded by a low wall with extensive planting and a variety of mature tress creating a very good screen from the roadside.

In the south lawn, the largest area of the garden, there is a small pond and waterfall while a path leads around to the west side of the bungalow where more private garden extends to the rear.

The position of the property is excellent, opposite the ‘village’ cricket ground and close to the heart of the old village at Old Church Road in the always sought after St. Mary’s Grove - Chimes area of Nailsea.

Local amenities are within easy level walk and there are bus services to the town centre and beyond.
