Farleigh Road, Backwell, BS48

A truly unique and delightful Home. Built around 1895, this distinctive property was designed by the renowned architect Walter Cave for Anthony Gibbs of the Tyntesfield Estate in the Vernacular Revival style. Originally constructed as an estate worker’s cottage, it has since been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting family home, much loved and carefully maintained by the current owners.

Accessed through a small gate and covered porch area, the property opens into a welcoming hallway, where doors lead to the downstairs rooms and stairs rise to the bedrooms. The hallway is filled with character, featuring tiled floors, built-in storage, bookshelves areas, and charming details at every turn.

To the right, a door opens into the sitting room, a cosy retreat complete with a woodburner and elegant picture rails, ideal for unwinding after a long day. The hallway also leads to the separate dining room, where an original fireplace and leaded windows allow natural light to flood the space. There is also ample room for a study area, making this room both practical and inviting.

The kitchen is truly the heart of this home, exuding a cosy and inviting atmosphere. It is fitted with a range of hand-built, cottage-style wooden cupboards and a distinctive blue Aga, offering the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the conservatory, a sunny space where you can relax and enjoy views of the tranquil rear garden.

A practical sunroom/porch area leads from the kitchen to the well-appointed utility room, enhancing the functionality of the downstairs layout and making it ideal for modern family living.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own unique charm and the benefit of high ceilings. The master bedroom boasts a large en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe-style cupboards, offering both comfort and storage. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

This home offers a perfect blend of period charm, character features, and practicality, making it an ideal space for family life.
