Property Description

12 The Chestnuts occupies arguably one of the best positions in this popular residential cul de sac, set back from the road the property enjoys a good degree of privacy and lots of future potential. Approaching the house to the front, a wide tarmac driveway provides ample parking for a good number of vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. 

To the front of the house is a pretty lawned garden with an established flower bed border and a footpath leading to the entrance doorway which is sheltered from the elements by a handy storm porch. Entering the house into the reception hallway you get your first sense of the excellent scale of accommodation that the property provides. The generous hallway has stairs rising to the first floor to the right and doors providing access to all the principal reception rooms, as well as a useful ground floor cloakroom. To the left of the hallway lies a good sized, dual aspect sitting room, which features an attractive stone fireplace and patio doors looking out over the rear garden. Between the sitting room and the kitchen breakfast room is another versatile reception room, which could either be utilised as a home office, or indeed a formal dining room. There is a door from this room that connects directly into the kitchen/breakfast room, that with some alteration could be enlarged to create a huge open living/kitchen/diner that seems to be so popular for modern day living. The kitchen is a great sized room with more than enough space for a breakfast table, it is fitted with a good range of attractive farmhouse styled units and includes twin eye level ovens, gas hob, plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer, a practical tiled floor compliments the room and a separate utility room, which houses a newly installed boiler.  Completing the ground floor accommodation is another flexible room that could provide a second office/study or maybe even an occasional fifth bedroom.

Moving onto the first floor, a light and airy landing area provides access to four double bedrooms (master with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe) and the family bathroom. The bedrooms are all of an excellent size, with the rear facing rooms enjoying beautiful south/westerly views over the properties rear garden and glimpsing the Mendip Hills. 

The property is also blessed with a large loft, providing lots of storage.

Outside, the property sits in a wonderful corner plot where the garden extends away from the house in a sunny south/westerly orientation. The perfect size for a family, there is so much potential for those with green fingers to establish themselves a beautiful landscaped garden with fruit and vegetable beds, or simply enjoy the space to kick a ball around with the children.

WE HAVE NOTICED.

A superb home with so much potential, the property has excellent proportions throughout, huge scope to extend and improve (subject to the necessary permissions) and also the benefit of no onward chain.

SITUATION The North Somerset village of Winscombe was recently placed as the second best place in Britain to raise a family by family investment firm OneFamily (survey in 2015) and is nestled in the beautiful Mendip countryside within commuting distance of Bristol. Its atmosphere is one of bustling activity, with a variety of shops, professional offices and community facilities including church, doctor and primary school (www.winscombewoodborough.n-somerset.sch.uk). Winscombe is in the Churchill Academy and Sixth Form Centre (www.churchill-academy.org) catchment area for secondary education, and there is also a dry ski slope nearby. Private sector schooling is also close by at Sidcot and the Downs School at Wraxall is within easy reach. Country activities available within the area include horse-riding, walking on the Mendips and sailing on Axbridge Reservoir, and there are also several excellent golf courses in the area. The lovely cathedral city of Wells is a drive away, as is the famous beauty spot, Cheddar Gorge. As mentioned, Winscombe is within commuting distance of Bristol but also has good access to the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare and the M5 at junction 21 to travel north or junction 22 to travel south. There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to a mainline railway station at Weston.

DIRECTIONS Approaching Winscombe from the direction of Bristol on the A38 Bridgwater Road, turn right at the traffic lights towards the village on Sidcot Lane and proceed ahead for approximately 200 metres taking the second left onto 'The Chestnuts'. Once on 'The Chestnuts' follow the road down and the property can be found in the right hand corner.
