A substantial 1930’s detached 5 bedroom family home with great potential standing in private, established gardens of about 1/3rd acre in a commanding position, adjoining farmland and yet still very well placed for all amenities in this most sought after North Somerset village.

Russettings occupies one of the most attractive positions in this prime village location and is set well back from the road.
br> The house is thought to date from 1937 and was built by a well known and respected local builder. The property has since been enlarged creating a spacious 5 bedroom layout but there is still scope for further extension with potential to create for instance, a stunning kitchen-family room by more than doubling the size of the present kitchen and if so desired, subject to any necessary consents, to convert the existing integral garage to another reception room. .

The already spacious accommodation is bright and airy and includes a superb reception hall with the generous reception rooms arranged to either side. The fully fitted kitchen-breakfast room overlooks the rear gardens and benefits from an adjacent utility room and there is a useful cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to five attractive bedrooms (four double rooms) and a well appointed modern bathroom.

The setting is particularly attractive, with the house standing almost 90’ (27.4m) back from the road and slightly elevated with a variety of established shrubs and trees screening the property. The block paved drive and forecourt offers plenty of parking with good turning space. The rear gardens are perfect for a family and are essentially level, private and of ample size leading away from the house to about 115’ (35m) with the farmland beyond..

Backwell is probably the most favoured village in the county with a vibrant community, a range of village shops, a Post Office, Doctors and dental surgeries, outstanding schools in all age ranges and good, nearby leisure facilities including a Tennis Club and a public swimming pool complex. Furthermore, the village is surrounded by beautiful countryside with lovely walks and cycle ways. In addition, Nailsea is less than two miles away and offers a wider range of amenities including Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets. .

For the commuter Backwell is very well placed with good road connections to the major centres in the area. Bristol is just 8 miles away, junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are also both within 8 miles and a main line railway station at just about a mile away facilitates daily long distance commuting with direct trains to London – Paddington.
