Cliff Cottage – A Hidden Coastal Sanctuary Between Clevedon and Portishead.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Bristol Channel, Cliff Cottage is a truly rare find—an enchanting coastal retreat offering total privacy, immersive natural beauty, and versatile living across approximately four acres of lush gardens and grounds. Nestled discreetly off the coastal path between Clevedon and Portishead, and screened from view passersby, a long, meandering driveway sets the scene, leading to this exceptional home and its unique collection of outbuildings.

From every angle, Cliff Cottage delights the senses. Whether it’s the panoramic sea views, the warmth of its interiors, or the unexpected architectural gems that dot the grounds, this is a property that evolves beautifully with the seasons. In winter, it becomes a cosy haven—log-burning stoves, stone floors, and timber finishes creating the perfect spot to watch distant storms sweep across the Channel. Come spring and summer, the home and its grounds open up to a vibrant world of alfresco living, with expansive lawns for games, a refurbished heated swimming pool, hot tub, and secluded spots for campfires and relaxation.

The main residence is a warm and welcoming family home, where craftsmanship and comfort meet. Entering through a charming oak porch, you're greeted by a snug with stone floors and a log-burning stove, flowing effortlessly into a bespoke timber kitchen with stone worktops, state-of-the-art appliances, and a generous dining area framed beneath oak beams and set before French doors opening to a raised deck—perfect for outdoor dining with a view.

Adjoining the kitchen is a beautifully appointed utility area, smart shower room, and boiler room, while a separate hallway leads to a flexible playroom, games room, or study. Along the hall a cosy office space and store sit just before the main sitting room, which offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere with a grand fireplace and inset log burner.

Upstairs, the house continues to impress. A tranquil reading nook overlooks the gardens and coast, while four double bedrooms are served by two stylish Jack and Jill bathrooms. The principal suite is a highlight: vaulted ceilings, a private dressing area, a luxurious en-suite with freestanding bath and separate shower, and a Juliet balcony offering breathtaking, uninterrupted views.

The estate includes several delightful outbuildings, each with their own personality and purpose. The Loft, set above a triple garage, provides a private annex ideal for guests or extended family. The Cabin, a 1950s-themed holiday let, adds charm and potential income. The Shack—a hidden lodge tucked into the gardens—is perhaps the estate’s most poetic feature, offering a simple daybed, wood burner, and the most spellbinding views of the Channel. Completing the picture is a second detached garage, offering further practicality and development potential.

Within the grounds lies a large field that provides privacy from the other outbuildings and offers exciting potential as a building plot or campsite, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Cliff Cottage is a home of soul and story—an inspiring coastal escape where family life, entertaining, and quiet contemplation all have their place. Rarely does such a private, well-positioned, and versatile property come to market in this location.
