For Sale4 Bedroom Character Property in Edgehill Road, Clevedon, BS21£1,400,000

Seller Insight - “Ever disagreed over whether you want an old property with character or the simplicity and flexibility of modern day living with a new house?” asks the current owner of 17a Edgehill Road. “Well, you get both here. Blending the old and the new, this is essentially a contemporary home but with the soul and character of a period property. Once a Victorian school house, the original part of the house benefits from high ceilings, giving a light, airy feeling which is mirrored in the extensive use of glass in the modern extension. The property has been completely refurbished, modernised and extended to provide beautiful high-spec accommodation which will literally take your breath away upon viewing. A lot of time and thought has gone into the changes and high-quality fittings have been used throughout in recognition of the uniqueness of the property, aided by the expertise of a professional interior designer. With everything so exquisitely finished, the new owner will be able to just move in and enjoy trouble free living in the most beautiful and stunning setting. The hub of the home has to be the open plan kitchen/dining/living room, which extends to 10 metres,” the owner continues. “The well-appointed kitchen is a cook’s delight, with a huge breakfast bar for casual dining and sociable seating. The dining area can comfortably sit twelve and is framed by the large original fireplace with wood burner. Entered through glass double doors, this main room is over 3 metres in height, making it a wonderfully spacious room in which to entertain but equally to relax and watch the world go by. It has direct access to the balcony from where you can enjoy something cool to drink at the end of the day whilst watching the sun setting over the channel, as boats and ships navigate across the water. The home also boasts 4 double bedrooms, each with immediate access to a shower room/bathroom and 3 of them facing the sea. A self-contained annex to the side of the house provides further scope for multi-generational living. Among my favourite features of the house are the incorporation of the original outside stone wall within the new light-filled split-level hall; the glass balcony extending from a Victorian bay window; and of course the flexibility that the property affords throughout. Outside, the sunny garden has been professionally designed and created to make it low maintenance and easy to enjoy,” says the owner. “At the bottom of the garden there is a fantastic garden room which again fuses the old with the new: it has a beautiful stone exterior but is a wonderful space with wi-fi so could be used as an office, hobby room, teenage den, gym, artist’s studio, bar or just a chill out room. The possibilities really are endless. The house enjoys the most perfect and peaceful setting on a private no-through road with outstanding views over Layde Bay to the English Channel. The sound of the waves and birdsong are all that is thing audible from the front facing balcony or garden. Although set in such a quiet position, the house is not isolated. The property sits within upper Clevedon, close to the beautiful Hill Road shops, the seafront, pier, excellent restaurants, walks and cycle trails, and the golf club, all within a 15 minute stroll. We are just a few minutes’ drive from the M5 for Cornwall or London, with Yatton railway station within easy cycling distance for those who prefer to take the train."
