Dating back to the 1800s, Willow Cottage is a semi-detached, period home with character and charm in abundance, comprehensively refurbished to a very high standard around six years ago. The house now makes an impossibly charming, turnkey family home in a very convenient, commuter location with close proximity to Bristol, Nailsea and Backwell train station, the M5 and Bristol airport.

The house is approached via a gated, gravel drive with parking for four vehicles and EV charging. A gravel path leads through landscaped gardens to the house which is accessed via double glazed, French doors into the kitchen dining room. This room is stunning with a triple aspect and a south facing orientation affording it ample natural light. Double glazed, bi fold sliding doors lead out onto a flagstone barbeque terrace, ideal for indoor/outdoor living during the summer months. The kitchen is charming with exposed oak beams yet contemporary and stylish with integrated appliances including a Brittania range cooker with two ovens, a six-ring gas gob with extractor, Indesit dishwasher (1 year old), Hoover washing machine (subject to negotiation), Bosch microwave oven and a Bosch fridge freezer.

Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor and a freestanding island with timber worktops provides ample workspace along with surrounding timber worktops with integrated Belfast sink and ample wall and base units for storage. Upcycled scaffold shelving provides further useful storage. The dining area is light, airy and spacious with ample room for dining circa 8 people (dining table subject to negotiation). Three contemporary, pendant light fittings create a warm, ambient light for evening dining and entertaining.

The open plan living room is equally charming with engineered oak flooring throughout and ample light via two south facing, double glazed uPVC casement windows with blinds. Two modern radiators kick out heat and a stone / red brick fireplace with modern log burner and flagstone hearth provides a charming centrepiece to the room. The lamps are conveniently integrated with the electrics and further upcycled scaffold shelving provides useful storage. Adjacent is a modern, tiled WC with opaque window, spots and a modern radiator.

The current owners have further improved the property by fully insulating and refurbishing the barn and integrating it with the house, creating a fantastic playroom with three modern radiators and two Velux windows with blinds creating a lovely, light and warm space. Engineered oak flooring and an exposed stone gable wall provides abundant character and a wall mounted television is subject to negotiation. The room is accessed via a flagstone porch with new radiators and the original front door which leads to the garden. A rear door leads to a useful, recently built, timber framed shed with electrics, ideal for bikes and outdoor storage.

A lovely, carpeted, timber staircase with spindles and handrails, a large window and three contemporary pendant light fittings above leads up to the first-floor landing. The principal suite at the end is simply stunning with exposed oak beams and a fantastic A frame. A dual aspect and two large Velux windows with blackout blinds flood the room with light. There are delightful views over the garden with lots of bird life to enjoy as well as a fitted LG television (subject to negotiation). The fully tiled, en suite is contemporary yet characterful with exposed beams, a double wall mounted sink with large mirror and cabinetry and a double walk-in rain shower with a curved screen, alcove shelving and excellent water pressure. The adjacent dressing room has plenty of light with fitted wardrobes and houses the boiler (circa 6 years old).

Bedrooms three and four, also on the first floor, are both carpeted doubles with a south facing orientation, spot lighting and ample natural light via Velux and double-glazed windows. Bedroom three benefits from a large integrated wardrobe. Bedroom two is located on the second floor and is abundantly charming with further exposed oak beams, integrated shelving and bedside alcoves with lighting. Two Velux windows with blackout blinds and a double-glazed picture window provide ample light and lovely views. An integrated wardrobe and a further cupboard on the landing provide excellent storage.

Externally, a flagstone barbeque terrace with sink and water supply off the kitchen provides a perfect spot for al fresco dining with well stocked borders with climbers including Clematis and Honeysuckle providing colour and scent. A further gravelled terrace off the kitchen provides a lovely spot for morning coffee. A few steps lead up to delightfully, landscaped, level lawns with well stocked borders of shrubs and perennials providing abundant summer colour as well as a number of specimen trees including a palm and wonderful weeping willow. A sunken fire pit area provides a further spot in which to relax or entertain.
