Highdale Avenue, Clevedon

‘The house enticed us with the uninterrupted views across the Mendips, from the garden and the rooms at the back of the house. The street itself is quiet and green and we’ve even been lucky enough to have muntjac visiting the woods outside our living room window. The location of the house is ideal with the beach, just a short walk away being perfect for picnic dinners and a bottle of wine at sunset. Hill Road is great for wandering the Sunday markets with a coffee from Fawn and pastries from Rise, whilst work or a night in the city being easy with Bristol is just a short bus ride away.’

The House

This semi-detached home has a beautifully warm and homely feel, enhance well by the style and design choices of its current owners. The house is entered from the side into a central hallway. It’s a home which offers great balance and contrast between the cosy, darker rooms to the front and the bright living space and kitchen and the back which offer views over the garden and as far as the Mendips in the distance. To the first floor there are two bedrooms and a grand family bathroom, with shower and free-standing bath. The main bedroom to the front is full width of the house and like much of the home offers an abundance of character with exposed wooden floorboards, a feature fireplace and some built-in wardrobes. To the top floor there is a further bedroom and an office space, each with lovely natural light and a separation from the rest of the home which makes it a great spot from which to work.

The Outside

The house has a brilliant family garden split over a few levels, giving different spaces for different activities and times of day. There are several spots from which to enjoy an alfresco meal, many of which benefit from amazing views of the Mendips and Bristol Channel on the horizon. The home also benefits from a great deal of storage with a large under croft and a utility space accessible from an external door in the garden.

Living in Clevedon

This home is brilliantly placed just a short walk from the seafront, Clevedon residents have easy access to the Clevedon Coastal Path which connects the town with Portishead, and includes the peaceful spots of Ladye Bay, Margaret's Bay, and Walton Bay.

A few minutes walk, you’ll find Hill Road and Alexandra Road, both of which offer a choice of café’s, restaurants, independent clothes shops, book shops and art galleries. Fawn Coffee Shop is a lovely spot to grab your morning flat white, whilst Escala tapas bar and Murrays neighbourhood restaurant are highly regarded and bring a local challenge to the flourishing food scene of nearby Bristol. Local Micropub, The Fallen Tree, is also a massive favourite of Clevedon residents and recently won CAMRA’s Pub of the Year for the Bristol District.

Clevedon has a real abundance of green space and pleasant walks, including Alexandra Park, Sunhill Park, Herbert Gardens and Dial Hill which are all minutes away, with woodland walks around Court Woods and Nortons Woods also nearby. You can also join the Poet’s Walk path which offers views out across the Bristol Channel and beautifully highlights the area’s natural beauty.

Whilst Clevedon is well-positioned for those wanting to commute to Bristol, Cardiff, or London, it has evolved into a thriving, nature-loving and artistic town in its own right. Full of character and community, it’s a dynamic seaside town with a rich history, picturesque surroundings, and a vibrant independent scene.
