The cottage sits within the secure boundary of a well-established, nature-focused estate, creating a calm and pleasant environment with an enhanced sense of privacy and security, and the rare benefit of being closely connected to the surrounding countryside. The House This semi-detached stone cottage has been lovingly restored and extended by the current owners into a comfortable family home.

Another reception room (currently used as a playroom) and toilet shower room with original flagstone floor complete the downstairs accommodation.

Nailsea and Backwell train station is only 10 minutes drive away and Bristol airport less than 20 minutes.
