Hyatts Wood Road, Backwell, North Somerset

An exceptional detached family residence offering over 4,400 sq. ft of accommodation and positioned in an awe inspiring private setting with over 4.8 acres of beautifully maintained grounds surrounding this highly impressive property.

Originally starting life as a substantial 1930’s gentleman’s residence, The Grove was so positioned to make the most of the exceptional views and sunsets towards the Bristol Channel to the West. In the interim years it has undergone a number of substantial extensions and more recently a complete refurbishment under the watchful eye of the current owners. The property has equestrian facilities that include stables, stable yard, horses menage and secure paddocks all fenced and gated.

It is rare to see a house with such privacy, as it enjoys a central position within its substantial grounds so is hidden from any neighbouring houses and nearby roads. The attention to detail and use of quality materials is evident throughout and externally the grounds are beautifully maintained; which is a real tribute to the house.
