Church Lane Backwell, Backwell, Bristol, Avon, BS48

Occupying an enviable, elevated position along one of Backwell's most distinguished lanes, this is an elegant, 1930s, detached family home of considerable charm with a sunny south facing orientation. This home exudes timeless character, thoughtfully enhanced over the years while preserving a wealth of original period features. Notable details include a striking Arts & Crafts staircase, impressively high ceilings with coving and ornate ceiling roses, picture and dado rails, panelled internal doors, beautifully profiled ogee skirting boards and original brass oval door handles.

Now offered to the market with no onward chain, the property provides an exciting opportunity for discerning purchasers to curate and personalise a home of genuine quality. Deceptively spacious and rich in architectural interest, the accommodation unfolds with both elegance and versatility.

A welcoming porch with tiled flooring leads into a spacious entrance hall with a central staircase complemented by useful understairs storage. Immediately to the right is a charming, period sitting room with bay windows and a feature fireplace with timber surround and a stone hearth, providing a lovely, light space in which to relax and unwind. Left off the hall, is a beautifully proportioned dining/family room, also with a bay window and fireplace, seamlessly opening into the farmhouse kitchen.

The kitchen itself is well-appointed with stunning, westerly views across the valley and ample fitted cabinetry and generous worktops. Appliances include a free-standing full height fridge with ice machine, freezer, dishwasher and a Belling range cooker with a six-ring gas hob, two ovens, a grill and a plate warmer.

Adjoining, a light-filled conservatory provides a tranquil setting with French doors opening onto a paved terrace, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a shower room with WC, a practical utility / boot room with garden access and a sink, cabinet storage and a pulley maid, as well as a study with internal access to the substantial double garage. A cellar, accessed via a laddered hatch, houses the Vaillant combination boiler.

To the first floor, a split-level landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal suite enjoys a particularly fine outlook with far reaching views, complemented by built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three overlook the front garden with a sunny orientation, tasteful decoration and charming period detail with original cast iron fireplaces. Bedroom four is also a decent double with lovely views. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower.

Externally, the property is enveloped by well stocked and mature wrap around gardens, offering a delightful tapestry of lawns, established planting, vegetable beds, tiered ponds, and terraces. A variety of fruit trees provide shade and colour in the front garden and include two apples, a plum, an apricot and an almond. A wonderful wisteria adorns the front of the building, as do well stocked Lavender filled beds, a couple of David Austin roses and a passion vine on the drive.

To the rear, far-reaching views further elevate the outdoor experience and there is a greenhouse and polytunnel for planting and growing. A large double garage with a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine level provides excellent storage with twin up-and-over doors, and a long driveway to the eastern side, provides ample parking for multiple vehicles.

In keeping with modern expectations, the property benefits from its own solar panels, including east and west-facing arrays linked to battery storage, offering enhanced energy efficiency.

The property is available with no onward chain.
