Nailsea, Bristol, BS48

Tucked away within the historic grounds of Nailsea Court, this charming cottage occupies an exceptional plot of around 1.32 acres, offering a rare combination of character, privacy and exciting future potential.

Although now requiring updating, the property offers generous, well-balanced accommodation with tremendous scope for sympathetic modernisation.

The substantial gardens and numerous outbuildings further enhance its appeal, providing opportunities for those seeking space to garden, work from home or simply enjoy an idyllic setting.

Approached to the front via the shared entrance to the former Nailsea Court estate, and to the rear via a shared private road entrance the cottage occupies an attractive position overlooking its own gardens, and surrounded by farmland that is protected from wholesale development by a National Trust Covenant.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms unfold. The dual aspect sitting room is full of character, centred around a traditional fireplace and bay window seat. Exposed beams and period detailing serve as a reminder of the property's heritage. Alongside, the dining room provides an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining with French doors opening on to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is filled with natural light from its triple aspect and enjoys lovely views across the surrounding gardens. Well proportioned it is fitted with a range of units and has space for a freestanding cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer and presents an exciting opportunity to create the heart of the home.

Upstairs are three good sized double bedrooms together with a generous family bathroom featuring both a corner bath and separate shower. Several rooms enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Outside is where the property truly comes into its own. Extending to approximately 1.32 acres, the grounds comprise formal gardens, mature trees and a paddock, creating an exceptional sense of space and privacy.
