Bucklands End, Nailsea, Bristol, BS48

Nailsea Lodge is situated almost at the end of a short no through private road in a most attractive hidden setting, sitting almost centrally in its grounds and surrounded by its well established gardens. There is a lovely south facing outlook to wooded hills.

It is believed to be late Victorian and is a perfect family house with all rooms overlooking the gardens. The present owners purchased the property in 1987 and added a single storey wing to the east in 2008, which included a family room, bedroom with en suite shower room, utility room and single garage with workshop space. This wing has the potential of creating a self contained annexe, subject to any planning permissions.

The original house retains many original features of the period. There are moulded ceiling cornices, dado and picture rails, panelled internal doors with moulded architraves, period fireplaces and a Victorian staircase rises to the first and second floors.

The entrance vestibule has double doors opening into the entrance hall. The drawing room is an elegant room with bay window and original fireplace. The dining room, with fireplace, has a wide square arch opening into a sitting room and double doors open into the conservatory facing south and west.

The kitchen with limestone floor and Aga, is well fitted with traditional units and integrated appliances include dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. The family room is a lovely light room overlooking the front and rear garden off which is a bedroom with en suite shower room and utility room. An alternative front entrance gives access to a garden room opening to the front lawn.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and large en suite bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. There are two further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, a further shower room and separate cloakroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, one with en suite shower room.

The property is approached through double timber gates and over a long drive leading to a generous parking area in front of an attached garage with space for a workshop. The delightful and private gardens surround the house and are well established. At the front of the house, facing south is a large expanse of level lawn with deep well stocked borders, many ornamental shrubs, and inset trees, shrubbery beds and a paved area spanning the width of the house is ideal for entertaining. The rear garden has terraced lawns, many established shrubs, a variety of plants and a pergola is densely clad with mature Wisteria, Honeysuckle and roses.

Along the northern boundary there are five old Lime trees believed to be over one hundred years old. The property totals in all about 0.72 of an acre.
