We are very pleased to present a charming and quite unique 3 bedroom Georgian cottage dating from the early 18th century, nestled within a charming row of properties near the nucleus of old Nailsea.

Recent upgrades include the introduction of gas central heating, a new roof, and sympathetically chosen double-glazed windows, all of which significantly enhance the comfort and energy efficiency for you.

This delightful home boasts a myriad of period features that contribute to its unique character, including an exquisite original fireplace crafted from local stone and traditional window seats, complemented by a landscaped garden adorned with a Wisteria-laden pergola.

The town centre, within easy reach, offers a comprehensive array of services including a pedestrianised shopping area, health centres, dining options, and Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, and a monthly Farmers Market enhancing the location's convenience and appeal.

The Cottage

A half glazed front door is framed by a pretty gabled porch.

From the porch a panelled door leads to the inviting sitting room with a beautiful original stone fireplace, a feature uncovered by the present owner during renovations of the property.

The original sash window has been replaced with a uPVC double gazed modern replica (a theme that continues throughout), massively improving the warmth and cosiness of this room. The window has a deep sill complete with window seat, a perfect space to sit on a wet day and enjoy the view of the charming landscaped garden to the front of the cottage.

The combined dining room and kitchen is the next room, and the design follows the footprint of the original cottage.

The front half of the room offers a generous dining area, so family gatherings and entertaining does not need to be scaled down because of a lack of space. There is a range of wall and floor cupboards with granite effect work surface and a low sill sash window with window seat.

The second half of the room is more dedicated to kitchen space with further fitted cupboards, space for a slot in cooker with gas and electric cooker points. The existing full size dual fuel stainless steel cooker and additional appliances are available by separate negotiation. There is plumbing for a washing machine together with space for a tumble drier and a deep sill window is set to the rear.

An unusually wide staircase leads to the first floor where the large landing opens to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double room and has a feature low sill sash window. It is believed that an original fireplace is concealed so perhaps that can be a project for the new owner to uncover.

Bedroom two is also a good double room, again having a feature low sill sash window, while the third bedroom is a single room, currently used as a study with a window allowing an outlook to the rear.

The part tiled bathroom has a Velux window and a white suite comprising of bath with shower attachment, a WC and a wash hand basin.

The Outside

The house is approached via a shared gravelled driveway that arrives at a private driveway with parking space for two cars and a modern single Garage. A timber gate opens to the attractive landscaped garden where the patio enjoys both morning and evening sun. A pergola with a Wisteria over provides much needed dappled shade and adjacent to this is a smaller paved area is perfect as a barbeque space.

The garden comes into its own in spring and summer with a flowering cherry tree and raised borders made from timber sleepers giving pretty planting areas. There are also two small lawned areas and further patio space to the front of the house. The garden is totally secure with boundaries of Nailsea stone adding yet more character.
