Brunel Road, Nailsea £449,950

An attractive and very adaptable 4-bedroom detached Blenheim style family home with en suite and family bathrooms, a utility room, 2 large rooms and a superb conservatory opening to a secluded garden. The house has an attached Garage to the side and a 6 car drive while the area is well established and stands almost on the edge of Nailsea, close to open countryside, much of which is classed as an area of special scientific interest due to rare flora and fauna.

The house is the flagship design in this small development that was built in the late 1980’s by Second City Homes, a multiple award winning developer and this style of property has remained extremely popular, partly because of the good balance of room sizes and partly because of the potential for easy extension with scope to add space in the kitchen breakfast room and even to add a fifth bedroom and third bathroom above if required (subject to any necessary consents).

The present owners have clearly loved their home and enjoyed living here for over 20 years while their predecessors here were a prominent local property lawyer and his family.

The house has been carefully maintained and is colourfully decorated while the layout is spacious, and the rooms are light and airy.

The House: The porch canopy shelters the front door that opens to an entrance hall with a cloakroom/WC off. Doors open from here ultimately to the kitchen breakfast room and to the superb living room that has a broad bay window allowing an outlook to the front over the private forecourt, a fireplace and double doors leading to the unusually spacious dining room. The dining room has patio doors to the large conservatory that serves to draw the living space into the garden.

The kitchen breakfast room is very social with a peninsular breakfast bar while the adjoining utility room is very useful. However, properties of this design have been extended into the lobby area adjoining the kitchen and utility room to create a larger kitchen diner with an outlook or even bi-fold doors to the garden. When this alteration is made, many relocate the plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier space into the back portion of the garage thus retaining utility space.

Upstairs, the landing has a hatch and ladder to the insulated loft and a built-in airing cupboard. The bedrooms include two full double rooms and two single rooms of similar size. The principal bedroom is of excellent size having a suite of built in wardrobes and a shower room en suite that originally had bath which has been replaced as part of a re design with a shower enclosure. The family bathroom has also been refurbished again with a contemporary white suite that includes a Hydrotherapy (Jacuzzi) bath.

Outside: The private drive passes two neighbouring properties and arrives at the exceptional tramacadam and block paved forecourt belonging to this house. There is ample parking and turning space and the forecourt is framed by a lovely selection of established shrubs and bushes with substantial timber panel fencing behind on one side.

Access to the rear garden can be gained via the lobby area between the house and garage with a gate at the front.

The garden at the back is fully enclosed by timber panel fencing that offers a good degree of privacy with a lawn extending away from a paved area that contrasts with the timber sun deck which can be accessed from inside the house via French doors out of the conservatory. Shaped, low walled flower beds are arranged around the verge of the lawn and are stocked with a further selection of specimen shrubs and bushes.

Nailsea:

Nailsea is well placed at just 8 miles from Bristol and enjoys good road, rail and SUSTRANS cycle way connections. The mainline railway station gives easy access to Bristol, Filton-Abbeywood, Bath and London-Paddington. A good selection of local amenities including a pedestrianised shopping centre are available in the town. There are large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets with smaller shops close to this property in Hannah Moor Road. The open countryside that is a few minutes walk away is temporarily a construction zone while the infrastructure work is carried out as part of the distant Hinkley Point new Power Station Scheme. The result of the works will be the rerouting underground of the new electricity transmission lines and the pylons and existing overhead lines will be removed altogether further enhancing the area.
