Mulberry Close, Backwell - A spacious 3 bedroom home with great potential and an exceptional garden

An exceptional three-bedroom family home enjoying a peaceful, mature and central village setting, with a superb garden offering excellent space to the side and rear, providing tremendous potential for further extension should additional living accommodation ever be required.

This substantial property has been cherished by the same owner since it was built in 1960 and has been improved and enlarged over the years. The resulting accommodation is light, airy and very comfortably proportioned, with a well-balanced semi-open-plan layout that flows beautifully and is ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.

Although already offering more than ample accommodation, the house presents tremendous potential for further extension to the side, with scope to create a substantial four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, as illustrated by the proposed layout shown in grey on our second floor plan. There is also space to create a double garage if required. Both possibilities would, of course, be subject to obtaining any necessary consents.

The existing accommodation includes a spacious entrance porch with walk-in storage, leading through to an attractive reception hall with a quarter-turn staircase rising to the first floor. The hall provides access to the living room, an open double doorway to the dining room, doors to the kitchen and a door to the ground-floor cloakroom, which has been updated in recent years.

The living room is a lovely principal reception room of excellent proportions, featuring two windows, including a bay window, providing an outlook to the front. There is also an attractive feature fireplace and bi-fold doors opening through to the separate dining room, which again offers a wonderful feeling of space.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor cupboards, ample work surfaces and a peninsula breakfast bar. There is an inset sink, an inset ceramic hob with a concealed extractor hood above, a built-in eye-level electric oven and grill, together with space for a dishwasher. A deep built-in double cupboard provides useful additional storage, while an outlook over the rear garden is enjoyed through the adjoining breakfast room, which also has a further door opening directly onto the garden.

The breakfast room is a later addition, constructed around 1975, and provides an excellent additional reception space. It enjoys plenty of natural light, with double-aspect windows overlooking the garden and a skylight. A utility area is positioned to one side, incorporating a sink unit and further space for appliances.

On the first floor, the landing is galleried over the stairwell and illuminated by a window to the side. There is a built-in airing cupboard housing the gas-fired combination boiler, while a hatch and ladder provide access to the boarded loft, which benefits from light and power and has been used for hobbies over the years.

All three bedrooms are comfortably proportioned, each enjoying a large window that enhances the feeling of light and space. The principal bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes.

The bathroom has been thoughtfully redesigned and updated in recent years, with complementary wall tiling and a contemporary white suite. Features include a floating vanity unit, a concealed-cistern WC and a double-width, wall-to-wall shower enclosure, which has been installed in place of the original bath.

Outside:
The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing parking for two to three cars and leading to the attached garage. The garage has an up-and-over door, light and power, an integral storage area to the rear and a former central heating oil tank store. The oil tank has been disconnected since the installation of mains gas.

The front garden is well maintained, predominantly laid to lawn and bounded by an attractive hedge. A gate from the driveway opens onto the extensive garden area to the side of the house, where a large timber garden shed provides useful storage.

Paving continues around to form an attractive patio area, partially shaded by a pergola, with the large, mature and beautifully landscaped rear garden beyond.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, with a broad, sweeping lawn and deep, attractively shaped borders planted with a wide variety of specimen trees, shrubs and bushes, all combining to frame this delightful garden beautifully.
