Oakleigh Close, Backwell - a superb setting with views

This beautifully presented and extensively improved detached bungalow enjoying one of Backwell's most desirable residential settings, quietly positioned on the southern edge of the village with uninterrupted views across adjoining Green Belt countryside and attractive woodland beyond. Offering three bedrooms, stylish contemporary interiors and delightful private gardens, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines the ease of single-storey living with an exceptional semi-rural setting.

Oakleigh Close has long been regarded as one of the village's most sought-after addresses. Tucked away from busy roads and areas of modern development, the location offers a wonderful sense of peace and privacy while remaining within easy reach of Backwell's excellent range of everyday amenities, highly regarded schools and mainline railway station. The surrounding countryside is immediately accessible from the rear, providing superb opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation.

Constructed during the 1950s by the highly respected local builders Voisey, whose homes are renowned for their quality construction and enduring appeal, the bungalow has been carefully cherished throughout its life. In more recent years, it has been comprehensively updated and reappointed to create an exceptionally comfortable and stylish home, thoughtfully enhanced with a contemporary touch while retaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The accommodation is arranged around a spacious and inviting reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout the property. At the heart of the home is a bright, recently renovated open-plan kitchen and dining room, beautifully designed to provide both practicality and a sociable living space, flooded with natural light.

The sitting room is an elegant and relaxing retreat, centred around an attractive fireplace and enhanced by sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, allowing the outside to become a natural extension of the living space. Recently fitted Roman blinds provide a refined finishing touch.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for modern lifestyles. One is currently arranged as a generous home office, ideal for those working remotely. The principal bedroom enjoys attractive views across the front garden and benefits from built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is of an excellent size and easily accommodates freestanding furniture. Decorative wall panelling and newly fitted blinds add character and style to both principal bedrooms.

The bathroom has been recently refitted and now features a contemporary white suite complemented by an over-bath shower, stylish fittings and a distinctive feature radiator.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A private driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles, while the front garden is enclosed by newly installed fencing and mature hedging. An additional area of garden offers potential for the creation of further parking should it ever be required.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, enjoying a high degree of privacy and backing directly onto open farmland with attractive views towards Backwell Hill. Beautifully stocked with mature shrubs and planting, the garden provides colour and interest throughout the seasons. Recently installed fencing and gates enclose the garden on three sides, while a paved patio, exterior lighting, feature spotlighting, outside tap and power points enhance both the practicality and enjoyment of this delightful outdoor space.

The Village
Backwell is arguably the most sought-after village in North Somerset, with a wide variety of amenities, including doctors' and dental surgeries, good schooling, coffee houses, hairdressers and a barber, an excellent wine merchant, a good fish and chip shop, local stores and a post office; a vet; two good pubs with The George and The Rising Sun within walking distance; and an excellent village club.

For the commuter, Backwell is very well placed, with Bristol just 8 miles away. Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are also both within 8 miles, and the main line railway station that is less than a 5-minute drive away facilitates long-distance commuting with direct trains to London – Paddington. The SUSTRANS cycle network is close by with access to Bristol and many other destinations. For more distant destinations, Bristol Airport is under 6 miles away, but the village is not under any low-level flight paths.

Local leisure prospects are similarly attractive, with between Backwell and neighbouring Nailsea, there are a host of clubs and societies for all ages and interests, with swimming, tennis, badminton, bowls, rugby, cricket, croquet and football to mention just a few of the sporting facilities available, while several challenging golf courses are available in the area.

There are gyms in Nailsea and Backwell and a David Lloyd club just 5 miles away on the edge of Bristol. Town centre facilities are offered in Nailsea with large Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, monthly farmers' markets, and independent and national retailers. There is also a selection of bars, bistros and restaurants.
