A beautifully appointed detached 2 double bedroom character cottage with unusually large enclosed rear garden with great potential and off street parking for 2 cars in a popular North Somerset village convenient for access to Bristol and beyond
DETAILS
Believed to date from the 18th century, Lavender Cottage is a beautifully appointed and presented home that combines charming character features with contemporary style and convenience. Engineered oak flooring across the living and bedroom accommodation gives a sense of flow, as well as practicality, and character features include partially exposed stone walls, timber beams and fireplaces.
There is gravelled driveway parking to the right of the house, with an arched gate to the end providing access to the rear garden beyond, and an enclosed stone entrance porch. The front door opens into the sitting/dining room, which has an exposed stone fireplace fitted with a wood burner.
The high gloss white kitchen beyond includes a slate tiled floor, a 1½ bowl butler sink and a good range of wall and base units including deep pan drawers. Integrated appliances include a double oven, microwave, ceramic hob with overhead extractor, dishwasher and a small wine fridge. There is space for a washing machine and a fridge/freezer and light floods through the 3 kitchen windows and glazed back door.
To the front of the property is a second reception room, also with a (disused) feature stone fireplace, that is currently used as a home office, but could also be a dining room, another reception room or a snug. A latched door opens to the carpeted stairs to the first floor.
Upstairs, to the front of the cottage is a double bedroom with an exposed stone feature wall. The stylish contemporary bathroom sits between the 2 double bedrooms, with white metro tiles and a bath with screened shower over. A latched wooden door to the end of the upstairs landing opens into the spacious dressing room where painted tongue and groove panelling to one wall and the ceiling combine with a wall of fitted wardrobes, creating a very inviting, neat and stylish room. Two steps lead up to the spacious principal bedroom beyond, with wonderful views over the back garden and surrounding countryside.
Outside – the kitchen door opens into a large courtyard garden area, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with geraniums planted in front of a rendered wall giving a Mediterranean feel to the space, which is an excellent sun trap. Open tread wood/metal stairs lead up to the rear garden, which is unusually large – certainly bigger than a "cottage garden" – laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by fences with established bushes, trees and shrubs including lavender, hydrangea, roses and jasmine. There is a shed, a beautiful acer tree, a wooden pergola with jasmine and 2 deep raised beds, ideal for vegetables and towards the end, a wooden deck provides another place for alfresco dining and to sit and enjoy the surroundings. While already an idyllic place, with established plants and character, there is further scope for the keen gardener and enough space at the end to perhaps install a home office/studio or additional shed if required. Beyond the garden gently sloping fields rise up to Cleeve Hill beyond, and there are superb woodland walks from the doorstep to Goblin Combe and further afield via a nearby public footpath.
Location – Cleeve is a thriving village community, has a range of facilities including general store
ewsagents, including a post office (opens Tuesday and Friday 8.30-12 noon) hairdressers, takeaway and restaurant and a new complex has recently opened nearby, incorporating a restaurant, beauty salon, petrol station and high quality small supermarket. Cleeve village hall hosts various events and activities and there are highly regarded schools nearby in Claverham and Backwell. Further amenities are provided nearby at the villages of Congresbury and Yatton, including the gym and spa facilities at Cadbury House Hotel. Mainline railway services are available from Yatton station, within 2.7 miles, journey times to Bristol from 16 minutes, Paddington from 114 minutes. Access to the M5 is within 7 miles from junctions 20 and 21, and there are also good public transport links to Bristol and beyond. Bristol Airport is approximately 5.3 miles away, and Bristol city centre 11 miles distant.
