Description

Introducing a charming and very roomy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow, boasting ample space and a secluded sunny level rear garden, ideally situated away from busy thoroughfares just west of the town centre. With an array of amenities nearby, including The Crown Glass Shopping Centre and Tower House Medical Centre, both within a convenient 5-minute stroll, this property offers an exceptional lifestyle.

Inside, the bungalow impresses with its remarkably spacious layout, featuring a welcoming reception hall, a triple-aspect living room that floods with natural light, and a delightful conservatory-dining area. The well-appointed kitchen breakfast room offers generous proportions, while a bathroom/shower room and an en suite cater to your personal needs. Three superb double bedrooms complete the accommodation, all overlooking the well-established private level garden. Parking is plentiful with the block paved driveway.

For those seeking additional space, architects' drawings are available for a loft conversion, which includes two more bedrooms and a bathroom, providing an opportunity for further expansion.

Nestled on a tranquil lane, this bungalow holds historical significance as one of the oldest avenues in the village, formerly known as Back Lane, connecting Silver Street to the parish Church on Old Church Road. Nailsea's amenities are within close proximity, and Silver Street offers regular bus services. Convenient road connections ensure easy access to major centres in the area, including the City of Bristol, a mere 8 miles away. Furthermore, junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are both within 6 miles, and the nearby Backwell village boasts a mainline railway station with local and intercity services, including direct trains to Bristol and London-Paddington.

Originally constructed in 1960 by a highly regarded local building firm, the bungalow has since undergone clever extensions. More recently, the current owners have diligently updated and enhanced the property, resulting in an exceedingly comfortable home that exudes quality and offers a flexible layout.

Upon entering the spacious reception hall, you are immediately drawn to the two of the three double bedrooms, one of which is presently used as an additional sitting room. The kitchen breakfast room, main bathroom, and large living room can also be accessed from this central space.

All three bedrooms are generously proportioned and overlook the private front garden. The master bedroom, located in the recent extension, features an en suite shower room that complements the fully refurbished original bathroom.

The capacious triple-aspect living room is an impressive space, providing room for both seating and dining arrangements if desired. Doors open onto the rear garden, bathing the room in natural light. Recently updated, the kitchen breakfast room showcases attractive cream wall and floor cupboards, complemented by extensive roll-edged solid oak worktops. It includes an inset 1½ bowl sink with a mixer tap, a five-ring Rangemaster gas hob with oven and grill, a built-in fridge freezer, an integrated washing machine, and ample space for a tumble dryer.

Through the conservatory, the kitchen breakfast room offers scenic views of the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. French doors with full drop side screens open onto the patio area, while the solar-reflective double-glazed roof enhances the conservatory's appeal.

The front garden features a well-manicured lawn with elegantly shaped borders adorned with various shrubs and bushes, creating an inviting atmosphere. The patio leads to the level lawn in the rear garden, perfectly sized and accompanied by an assortment of shrubs, bushes, and floral borders enclosed by timber panelled fencing. At the bottom of the garden, a summer house provides a versatile space equipped with power, light, and a broadband point for those who work from home.

The bungalow's true beauty is best appreciated through a personal viewing, as its unassuming exterior belies the spaciousness within. To ensure you fully grasp the property's charm, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment. Please contact us at , and we will gladly make all necessary arrangements.

Services & Outgoings:
The bungalow benefits from all mains services, gas-fired central heating, and uPVC double glazing. At present, telephone services are connected, while high-speed broadband options are available. Outdoor taps and electric points are conveniently located at the front and back of the property. Council Tax is rated in Band C.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
