Description
A fascinating 5 bedroom period 'village house' that appears to date from various centuries with possibly pre Georgian origins, late 18th century – early 19th and 20th century features and formal rooms and later wings that combine to create a substantial house of considerable charm standing in an exceptional level garden that extends to about ¼ acre, for many the perfect size.
The house has long been a landmark property in Nailsea and is deservedly continually admired, however little is actually known of the history of the house or how it has evolved. Irrespective of the provenance, the attractive classic period façade gives an impression of smart presentation, and the property does not disappoint in the slightest having been very well maintained and obviously loved by the present owners for many decades.
The suitably rambling accommodation flows well and while Allendale has been updated over time there is still good potential to further reappoint the house to taste and so enhance the already very comfortable proportions.
Allendale stands in a tremendously convenient position in Silver Street, one of the oldest village lanes in Nailsea with a nice variation of high quality neighbouring properties and easy, level access to the local amenities including a nearby greengrocer. The town centre is only a 1/3 mile to the east, but the property is away from busy through routes.
The House:
By any measure this is a fine home that is ideally placed and stands beautifully in its fabulous garden.
The elegant reception hall is approached via a conservatory style porch that shelters the front door and provides useful additional space.
The reception hall has a staircase that rises to a galleried landing above, while classic panelled doors open to the three reception rooms. The drawing room is exceedingly well proportioned and takes advantage of a double aspect over the lawns with a broad bay window allowing an outlook to the west.
The delightful sitting room is again dual aspect and mostly faces south and opens to a flagstone terrace with the main lawn beyond.
The dining room has a less formal air and is quite atmospheric with deep sill windows overlooking the 'secret garden' exposed beams and at one end a small inglenook style fireplace.
The farmhouse style kitchen breakfast room is much larger than the dimensions suggest since due to measuring regulations we cannot include the wing of the kitchen where the Aga stands.
The rear hall leads out to a courtyard area with a gate to the drive, there is also a Cloakroom. In addition, the house offers good natural storage space with a variety of deep built in cupboards including a walk in Pantry.
From the hall the staircase leads to the first floor where a spacious landing opens to the five bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate WC.
The fifth bedroom is a very comfortable single room with an almost 'tower room' feel having a large bay window to the west allowing commanding views. This room would work as an attractive study if five bedrooms are not necessary.
The principal bedroom by virtue of the adjacent en suite shower room is in keeping with all the bedrooms an attractive and very comfortably proportioned room with an outlook over the lawn to the south and far beyond to Holy Trinity (Old Church) away in the distance.
Outside:
The house stands back from Silver Street with most of the garden screened by a substantial stone wall and timber fencing which combines with the wide variety of trees shrubs and bushes to offer a high degree of privacy.
The drive is gravelled with a block paved path leading to the side gate opening to the courtyard area. A large Garage stands to one side of the drive and broad sweep of lawn frames the house attractively.
The lawn follows around to the west and then on to the south of the house where there is a further mature garden of excellent size that is laid mostly to lawn with well established borders and a selection of specimen trees.
An arched gateway set in an ancient stone wall opens to a secret garden where another area of level lawn is enclosed by walling and hedges with a pair of garden sheds.
