Hillcrest Road - a superb mature setting with larger gardens and no busy roads nearby

Highly Recommended
An attractively positioned and spacious three/four-bedroom chalet-style house that has been a treasured home for decades. The property enjoys a tremendously convenient yet quiet setting in this deservedly favoured residential avenue within Nailsea’s Hillcrest area — the town’s most established development. It is ideally placed just to the south of the town centre while remaining away from busy roads.

This lovely property offers comfortably proportioned accommodation with enormous potential for enlargement. By way of example, Hensons recently sold a nearby property of an originally identical design that had undergone a further loft conversion to create four first-floor bedrooms and a large bathroom, providing three bathrooms in total. That property naturally sold for a significantly higher sum, well in excess of its £400,000 guide price, demonstrating the very reasonable price at which Number 20 is offered.

For some buyers, Number 20 may require a degree of reappointment and updating. Nevertheless, the house has clearly been cared for and could readily be occupied while improvements are carried out over time.

The living space is light and airy, very much a feature of this particular design, while the bedrooms are all of an excellent size. There are large double bedrooms on both the ground and first floors, together with a fourth bedroom or study, presently arranged as a separate dining room.

One of the particular attractions of this style of house is the flexibility of its layout. The spacious living room was originally conceived by the architect as a lounge/dining room and includes a feature fireplace, ideal for the installation of a wood-burning stove if desired. The room is arranged to overlook the lovely rear garden, with French doors opening onto an elevated deck featuring a contemporary glass balustrade. A few easy steps lead down to the patio and level lawn beyond.

The kitchen adjoins the living room and, in several similar properties nearby, including one just a couple of doors away, owners have opened the dividing wall to create a substantial open-plan living space. This could certainly be an option for those who prefer open-plan living and would take full advantage of the attractive outlook across the rear garden.

The kitchen is well equipped with a comprehensive range of good-quality farmhouse-style oak wall and floor cupboards, ample rolled-edge laminated work surfaces and space for appliances. It enjoys an outlook over the rear garden, while a door leads to a utility lobby and storeroom, offering potential for use as a utility room and adjoining the garage.

There are three double bedrooms, one of which has fitted wardrobes, while the other two benefit from very useful built-in eaves storage. The bathroom is fitted with a classic white suite and has been adapted to include an easy-access shower bath. A traditional full-length bath could readily be reinstated while retaining the conventional shower unit above.

Outside
The gardens are a particular feature of the property. At the front is an enclosed, walled garden, with a gateway opening onto a driveway that leads to the attached garage and provides good off-road parking. Unrestricted roadside visitor parking is also available along this part of Hillcrest Road.

Access is available through the side lobby to the rear garden, where an elevated patio and deck are partly enclosed by a contemporary glass balustrade. This very appealing addition creates the impression of a balcony and commands an attractive view across the well-tended and private garden.

The garden is laid mainly to a neat lawn, complemented by shaped borders and a paved pathway extending to the far end and along the boundaries.

Enjoying sunshine throughout the day and into the late evening during the summer months, the garden provides a delightful place in which to sit, relax and enjoy the outside space.

About Nailsea
Still known affectionately by many as “the village”, Nailsea is the smallest of North Somerset’s four towns, yet arguably the most conveniently placed for Bristol, being just eight miles from the city.

The town offers an excellent range of amenities, including large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, doctors’ and dental surgeries, and a pedestrianised shopping centre with a mixture of nationally recognised retailers, smaller independent businesses and professional offices.

Additional local shops are available within walking distance of the property, while Nailsea also hosts a popular monthly farmers’ market and offers a good selection of cafés, public houses and restaurants.

The area enjoys high levels of employment and is well served by good schools, with Golden Valley Primary School and St Francis Catholic Primary School close by. Nailsea School and Backwell School are also both within easy reach.

Although particularly well placed for commuters, Nailsea is surrounded by attractive North Somerset countryside and offers convenient access to other major centres throughout the area. The SUSTRANS National Cycle Network provides a good route towards Bristol and other destinations.

Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are both less than six miles away, providing straightforward access to the national motorway network. Mainline rail services are available from Nailsea & Backwell Station, which is within walking distance and provides direct trains to Bristol, Filton Abbey Wood, Bath and London Paddington.
