Full Description

A well balanced, spacious 4 bedroom semi-detached family home with ample driveway parking, garage and good sized gardens in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Backwell with superb views over surrounding countryside

Details - Believed to date from the 1930s and coming to the market for the first time in over 50 years, 1 Chelvey Cottages is a well balanced family home with generous gardens and ample parking in a semi-rural location. Having been extended and updated over the years, the property is presented in good order, with a sense of period charm and now provides a superb family home for a new generation.

The house is set off Chelvey Lane, in a good sized plot, with generous driveway parking in addition to the single garage. There is a welcoming reception hallway off which to the right is the spacious dual aspect sitting room, created by knocking through the original sitting and dining rooms. The "pebble" effect electric fire to one end provides focus to the room, which also benefits from wonderful far reaching views over farmland and surrounding countryside to the rear, and towards the wooded hillside of Chelvey Batch to the front.

The hall incorporates a downstairs cloakroom, and leads into the spacious dining/kitchen/family room area to the rear of the house.

The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of sage green wall and base units, with an electric hob and Zanussi double oven, plus space for a fridge/freezer. A sliding door opens into the light and airy utility room, with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and the oil-fired Worcester boiler and a part-glazed back door provides convenient access to the garage and gardens beyond. The generous dining area accommodates a large dining table, ideal for family meals and entertaining, with a wide step down to the family room area, with a wood burner to one corner. The room feels quite contemporary and is very light and airy, with 3 Velux windows in addition to 2 other windows and French doors to the garden.

The first floor accommodation is arranged along a central landing with a useful linen cupboard, and a family bathroom to one end. The large principal bedroom has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and incorporates a good range of fitted wardrobes and a contemporary shower room with a large corner enclosure. There are 2 further double bedrooms and a good sized single, which could make an excellent office to work from home if required.

Outside – the front garden is laid mainly to lawn with some established shrubs and trees, with generous parking for multiple vehicles in addition to the single garage. A wide path to the side leads past the garage and a large shed to the rear garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with 2 raised beds for vegetable growing and an original semi-detached metal shed shared with the neighbours, which adds charm and a sense of history. Some flagstones to the far end and a circular dining terrace provide spaces to sit and enjoy the surroundings, in addition to the block-paved terrace running across the back of the house.

Location – The property is within 1.5 miles of highly regarded junior and senior schools and the various Backwell village amenities including a sports centre, medical centre, dentist, shops, pubs and a post office, along with the popular Backwell Lake nature reserve.
