Ash Hayes Road, Nailsea a superb setting.

An outstanding individual home occupying a superb position in this premier avenue—one of Nailsea’s most desirable residential settings. The surrounding homes stand in generous plots that create a rare feeling of openness and space, a quality that continues through to the house itself with its spacious and flexible four-bedroom interior, three reception rooms, large double garage and sweeping double-entry driveway, all set within beautifully mature gardens that provide a wonderfully private setting.

We are delighted to offer this substantial detached family home, standing well back from the road and framed by charming gardens extending to almost a fifth of an acre. This is clearly a house that has been much loved over the years, carefully nurtured and thoughtfully improved to create a home that feels both generous and welcoming in equal measure.

Believed to date from the 1950s, the property has been tastefully updated by the present owners, blending its original character with the comfort and practicality of modern living. Recent improvements include a beautifully refitted kitchen-breakfast room and utility together with three stylish contemporary bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The result is a light, comfortable and immaculately presented home that is ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.

The atmosphere throughout is airy and relaxed. A spacious reception hall forms the natural centre of the house, linking all the principal ground-floor rooms.

The living room is a particular highlight—an attractive double-aspect space with patio doors opening directly onto the south-facing terrace and gardens beyond, creating an easy connection between the house and garden that works perfectly for everyday living as well as entertaining.

The kitchen-breakfast room is equally appealing, overlooking the rear garden and providing generous space for informal dining, with a matching utility room neatly positioned alongside.

A particularly spacious dual-aspect dining room provides a more formal setting and adds welcome flexibility to the layout thanks to its excellent proportions. Two generous double bedrooms are also located on the ground floor and are served by a stylish family bathroom with bath and rainwater shower together with a recently updated en suite shower room. This arrangement offers excellent versatility for guests, multi-generational living or home working if desired.

On the first floor the sense of space continues. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant dual aspect together with a dressing area and a smart en suite shower room, while a further bedroom completes the accommodation and benefits from attractive elevated views across the garden.

While the existing layout will suit most families perfectly, the property also offers clear potential for future enlargement, subject to the necessary consents. Planning permission was previously granted for a first-floor extension that would create additional bedroom space and enlarge the kitchen area, highlighting the scope available should future owners wish to expand further.

Outside, the setting is every bit as appealing as the house itself. A sweeping double-entrance block-paved driveway provides generous parking and turning space and leads to a large detached double garage.

The front garden is attractively landscaped with lawn and mature planting, creating an immediate sense of arrival, while the rear garden is a true highlight—beautifully established, wonderfully private and enjoying sunshine throughout the day.

A broad Indian sandstone terrace runs alongside the house and provides an ideal space for outdoor dining, looking out across expanses of lawn, shaped borders, specimen trees and a number of charming garden features, including a summerhouse, greenhouse and a delightful arbour that draws the eye through the lower garden.

This highly regarded part of Nailsea is home to some of the town’s finest individual houses and offers a wonderful balance of peace and convenience. The parkland of Golden Valley and Scotch Horn are close at hand, as are the tranquil woodland walks of Nowhere Wood, while the town centre itself is little more than a five-minute stroll away.

The Town:
Still known affectionately by many as ‘the village’, Nailsea is the smallest of the four North Somerset towns but the most conveniently placed for Bristol at just 8 miles (ca. 13 km) from the city.

A good range of amenities are available including large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, doctors and dental surgeries, a pedestrianised shopping centre with nationally known and smaller independent retailers, and professional offices. There are two health centres, dental practices, a leisure centre with a gym, cafés, pubs, and restaurants including the excellent White Truffle restaurant. In addition to the conventional retail shops, there is a well-supported monthly farmers’ market and periodic food festivals too.

Though well-placed for the commuter, Nailsea is surrounded by pretty North Somerset countryside but with easy access to other major centres in the area. It also has access to the SUSTRANS national cycle network, with a good route to Bristol and other destinations.

Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are less than 6 miles (ca. 10 km) away, giving easy access to the country’s motorway network. A mainline rail connection is available at Nailsea and Backwell Station, which is within walking distance, with direct trains to Bristol, Filton-Abbeywood, Bath, and London Paddington.
