Hilldale Road - a peaceful position away from areas of any new housing

An Exceptional Family Home in an Outstanding Setting
An exceptional four-bedroom family home, enjoying arguably the prime position within this sought-after cul-de-sac, with far-reaching views beyond its fabulous mature garden. The garden adjoins picturesque Green Belt countryside to the south, providing a wonderfully open and peaceful outlook, well removed from busy roads and areas identified for proposed future development.

Despite its tranquil setting, the property is ideally placed within very easy reach of the excellent village junior school off Church Lane and within comfortable walking distance of Backwell’s many amenities.

The house is tucked away in a particularly private position at the head of this highly regarded and wonderfully peaceful cul-de-sac. It offers bright, welcoming and generously proportioned accommodation, thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the stunning garden. A substantial attached garage stands to the side of the house, providing exceptional storage and parking as well as considerable potential for a sizeable extension, should additional living accommodation ever be required, subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation is surprisingly spacious and offers an excellent degree of flexibility. At its heart is an exceptionally well-proportioned, L-shaped open-plan living and dining room. Although there is a pleasing visual distinction between the two areas, the room retains a wonderful sense of openness and space.

The double aspect further enhances the natural light, with an outlook towards the private front garden and patio doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and lawns. This impressive combined room measures approximately 7.31m x 6.36m (24'0" x 20'10") at its widest points.

The kitchen connects with a generous dining area and leads through towards the garden and utility area, creating a practical and sociable arrangement that is ideally suited to modern family life.

On the first floor are three comfortable bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where a large double bedroom extends across the full width of the house.

This superb upper-floor room enjoys particularly extensive views. To the north, the outlook stretches across the village towards the distant hillsides of Wraxall, Tickenham and Clevedon on the far side of the vale, while views to the rear extend towards the wooded slopes of Backwell Hill.

Given the position of the family bathroom directly beneath, the second-floor bedroom may offer potential for the creation of an en suite, subject to any necessary consents. Many, however, will prefer to retain the room’s current broad, open-plan arrangement and wonderful feeling of space.

The Gardens and Garage
The property is approached over a generous driveway, providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the substantial attached garage.

The garage measures approximately 7.31m x 6.30m (24'0" x 20'8") at its widest points and is accessed through a metal up-and-over door. A separate personnel door provides convenient access from the side, while an internal door connects directly with the house.

Its exceptional size provides considerable room for parking, storage, a workshop or hobby space, according to individual requirements. The garage may also provide significant potential for conversion or extension of the living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning and building regulation approvals.

The front garden is arranged principally for ease of maintenance, with paved areas, established hedging and attractive low-walled boundaries.

To the rear is a breathtakingly attractive mature garden that has been lovingly landscaped and planted over many years. The garden creates a truly beautiful setting for the house and is understood to be jointly the largest in Hilldale Road, being considerably larger than most.

The exceptional amount of space provides ample room in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the surroundings. An extensive patio is ideal for outdoor dining, beyond which lies a broad expanse of lawn bordered by mature trees, shrubs and established planting.

Several individual seating areas have been created throughout the garden, including an attractive gravelled terrace beside a charming summerhouse overlooking the lawn. Tucked away elsewhere is a delightful garden folly in the form of a castle-style treehouse, which also enjoys views towards the open countryside to the south.

The carefully chosen collection of specimen trees, shrubs and bushes is a particular delight, providing colour, interest and structure throughout the garden. A gate opens directly onto the field beyond, offering convenient access for countryside walks, dog walking and the route towards the village school.

The Location
Backwell is one of North Somerset’s most sought-after villages, prized for its excellent schools, attractive countryside and superb connectivity.

The village offers a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, two public houses, a very well-supported village club, tennis and football clubs, a gym and a swimming pool. A wider selection of shopping and leisure facilities can be found in neighbouring Nailsea, including large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets.

Backwell is particularly well placed for commuters, with Bristol approximately eight miles away and readily accessible by road, regular bus services and rail from Nailsea & Backwell station. The village also connects with the Sustrans National Cycle Network, providing an attractive alternative route towards Bristol and through the surrounding countryside.

Combining generous and flexible accommodation, an exceptionally substantial garage, a magnificent mature garden and a peaceful setting close to schools and open countryside, this is a truly outstanding family home in one of Backwell’s most appealing residential locations.
