St. Andrews Road - Found in a large garden in a very well established central village close

This individual detached Backwell home is understood to date from around 1950 and was built to a design strongly influenced by the 1930s. While the property now requires updating and reappointment, the extensive accommodation, generous proportions, lovely level garden and excellent setting close to the centre of the village combine to create a particularly appealing opportunity. Unusually, the property also benefits from two garages, positioned one to either side, each with its own driveway access.

Renovation opportunities are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in established village settings, and this detached dormer bungalow offers clear potential to create a very individual home. It stands within a superb plot in this favoured Backwell close, with ample space both inside and out and considerable scope to adapt or extend the existing accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

An open arched entrance porch leads through a front door with glazed side screen into a particularly spacious reception hall. Doors open to all the principal ground floor rooms, while a staircase rises to the first floor.

A generous reception room, currently arranged as a combined living and dining room, is positioned to one side of the hall. This is a light and bright double-aspect room with a broad bay window to the front and a feature fireplace providing a natural focal point.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room is again double aspect, with fitted bench seating to the dining area and two low walls visually defining this space from the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wall and floor cupboards, while a doorway leads through to a workshop, which offers obvious potential for use as a utility room. From here, further doors provide direct access to one of the garages and to the garden.

There are two comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor. The larger bedroom is positioned to the front and features a broad bay window, while the second enjoys an outlook over the rear garden.

A bathroom and separate cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there are two further bedrooms. The larger is a double room enjoying an outlook across the village towards Backwell Hill, while the second is a single bedroom overlooking the rear garden.

Outside
The property is approached over a horseshoe driveway, with separate gateways serving the two garages positioned on either side of the house. The driveway provides good parking, while a path continues along the right-hand side of the property to an almost full-width paved patio immediately behind the house.

Beyond the patio lies the main lawn, together with a further hardstanding area beyond the left-hand garage, which benefits from through access.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property and contributes greatly to its potential. A wide expanse of level lawn is complemented by deep, well-stocked beds, a further sweep of lawn and a productive vegetable area. Together, these create a tremendous feeling of space and provide an attractive, established setting, while also offering considerable scope for extension if required, subject to any necessary consents.

The Village
Backwell is one of the most sought-after villages in North Somerset and St Andrews Road is a continually favoured setting, with an attractive mix of impressive, high-value homes close to the centre of the village but away from through traffic.

There is a good range of amenities within easy reach, while a wider range of facilities is also available in nearby Nailsea. Parkland, a nursery and an excellent infant school are all conveniently placed, while the outstanding junior school and Backwell School are also within easy walking distance.  Other amenities in Backwell include a range of local shops, two pubs and a village club, a tennis club, football club, gym and swimming pool. Backwell is also well placed for Bristol, which is just 8 miles away and easily accessible by car, bus, train or bicycle via the SUSTRANS National Cycle Network.

Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 provide easy access to the country’s motorway network, while longer-distance commuting is facilitated by the mainline rail connection at nearby Nailsea & Backwell station, with direct services to Bristol and onwards to Bath and London Paddington (approximately 120 minutes).
