Cambridge Road, Clevedon, Somerset, BS21

This impressive house was built in 1897 and is of classical Victorian proportions with lovely ceiling cornices, dado rails, moulded skirting boards and architraves, bay windows, and a tessellated floor in the entrance vestibule. All the rooms are light and bright with elegant high ceilings and look out on either the lawn and mature trees in the front garden or the secluded, sunny southwest garden to the rear.

Since the current owners purchased the property in 1992, they have updated the house carefully and considerately, and all features appropriate to the period have been retained. The large entrance vestibule has double doors opening into the inviting reception hall which has a handsome staircase with turned balustrade leading to the half landing and first floor. The elegant sitting room has an open fire with period stone surround, a bay window and a fine ornate ceiling cornice. The dining room too has an ornate ceiling cornice and a fireplace fitted with a cast iron grate.

The superb bespoke breakfast kitchen, which once was two rooms, has a wood floor, and French doors open to the rear secluded garden. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with painted wood units, and has a central island. Integrated appliances include hob, oven, gas fired Aga, dishwasher and cabinet fridge.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office, all with a lovely open outlook, as well as an attractive well fitted bathroom and shower room. To access the second floor, there is a door to the stairway which can be closed off from the rest of the house if desired. On the second floor are two bedrooms, and a third room which has the potential of converting into a bath or shower room, subject to any necessary planning consent.

Outside
The property is approached between timber gates mounted on stone piers, and opens to a turning area and drive, passing the house and leading to a detached double garage with up and over door. There is parking for a number of cars. The front garden is surrounded by tall dense mixed hedgerow. There is a level lawn and planted borders of shrubs and flowering plants. A mature wisteria adorns part of the front elevation.

The attractive southwest facing, well established rear garden is private and quiet and is walled on two sides. There are deep beds planted with ornamental and flowering shrubs, timber archways, expanses of level lawn interspersed with a crabapple, an old apple tree, a yucca tree with a circular lavender bed, and pathways. French doors from the kitchen/breakfast room lead out to a paved area for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The house also benefits from a large array of solar panels and battery storage.
