"Albury" occupies one of Clevedon's most celebrated positions with uninterrupted views across the Bristol Channel. This fine Victorian house would have been built for the successful merchants of the day who would take great delight in seeing their ships sail down the channel.

The present owner purchased Albury approximately 22 years ago and took on a number of renovation projects to the property which included replacing the slate roof however, there is still much to do and this will not be a project for the light hearted .The accommodation is extensive sitting on three floors with three reception rooms on the ground floor and with potentially six large double bedrooms on the first and second floors. There is also the advantage of annexe accommodation if required. Once the gardens have been cleared views will open up across the bay.
