A spectacular 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom family home affording extensive accommodation that is particularly well appointed with a superb contemporary design theme that takes full advantage of the private west-facing position. Throughout, the proportions of the house are exceptional and the living space flows beautifully, while care has been taken to ensure good thermal efficiency resulting in reduced energy use.

Flax Bourton is one of the most aspired to villages in North Somerset surrounded by picturesque open countryside just six miles from Bristol with easy access to the city centre. Local amenities include a village pub and an excellent primary school with the neighbouring larger villages of Backwell and Long Ashton both offering a broader range of amenities and nearby Nailsea provides town centre facilities.

The house originally dates from the 1950’s however, in recent years the property has been significantly enlarged and completely remodelled creating a fabulously attractive modern home that is well presented and appointed to a high standard. The design is uncluttered with very clean lines and the house has a light, airy feel with the main rooms arranged to open to the full width terrace and west facing rear gardens with virtual wall to wall bifold doors drawing the eye outside.

The Accommodation:
The house is approached via a long drive that sets the house back from Station Road. The drive arrives at a wide forecourt providing parking and turning space and allowing access to the integral double garage.

The recessed front door with full drop glazed side screens opens to a stunning reception hall that gives an immediate impression of space with a porcelain tiled floor, an impressive glass panelled staircase rising to the part galleried landing above. Doors lead to the study, a playroom and a cloakroom – shower room and double doorways open to both the living room and to the open plan kitchen – diner – family room. There is under floor heating with individual room controls, (a theme that continues throughout), a built in cloaks cupboard is recessed to one side and there is a further built in hall storage and media cupboard.

The living room is bathed in natural light with bifold doors opening to the terrace and Velux style windows set into the part vaulted ceiling adding great volume to the room. The Porcelain tiled floor matches the terrace creating an almost seamless transition between the two. Integrated cabling for Hi-fi and TV services including cabling for a projector is installed.

The study or gym enjoys a more open outlook to front and built in storage cupboards and shelved recesses add to the good amount of natural storage space in the house.

In addition, there is a playroom off the hall that is suitable for a variety of uses with shelved recesses to either side.
