Farlers End, Nailsea Guide Price of £850,000 - £900,000

A very appealing entrance vestibule with bespoke cabinetry providing storage and even seating for those times when a telephone call goes on a bit, or for resting the bag to find car and house keys. The vestibule leads through to a superb reception hall with both areas having genuine oak flooring that draws the eye right through to a set of bi-fold doors at the far end of the hall which opens to a terrace and the south facing garden.

An original fireplace occupies one wall in the hall while panel doors lead to two reception rooms, double doors lead to the open plan family room – dining room, the kitchen area and ultimately onward to the remaining ground floor rooms while, in the writer of this piece’s opinion, the nicest and most attractive glazed wine 'cellar' that he has seen in over 38 years of estate agency is accessed via door way adjacent to the impressive two wing staircase that rises to the galleried landing up one the first floor.

The drawing room is very peaceful with deeper coloured panelling adding texture and somehow warmth to contrast with the three white walls and the broad semi-circular high bay window overlooking the lawn. Purpose designed open cabinets accommodate the Sonos equipment and a fireplace frames a wood burning stove. A lovely room. The playroom to the left of the hall is ideally positioned with access directly to the garden and access to the toy store that in some houses serves as a garage. This room is just as light and bright.

The double doors ensure that visitors are particularly drawn to arguably the most impressive room that is a real heart of the house family and entertaining space with a generous sitting – TV/movie or even video conferencing space enjoying good even light away to one side with full audio visual and data provisions.

The dining space is suitably formal, but the open plan arrangement softens any stuffiness, and the architectural island is a great piece of furniture in its own right that serves to create a really good visual division of the room so that the kitchen doesn’t overflow into the living space but isn’t isolated either.

As one might expect, the kitchen is bespoke and cabinet maker crafted to the owners’ design with a series of superb features, integrated appliances, and thoughtful touches. A chef’s kitchen but a very social one.

Doors one either side of the kitchen opens to the rooms in the far wing of the house. One is a study of ideal proportions with a double aspect and access again directly to the garden. The second is a useful utility room that does all that it should and opens in turn to the perfectly finished cloakroom.

Climbing the stairs to the Y shaped half landing leads guests away to a very attractive suite on the east side of the house that is quite well removed from the family bedrooms.

The family bathroom off the part galleried landing is superb and the bedrooms do not disappoint at all.

However, the principal bedroom is quite exceptional even by comparison with the rest of the house. The vaulted ceiling is so much nicer than the norm with a few clever features incorporated, there is a dressing room – shoe room with wardrobe space and a door leads to the full en suite bathroom that offers the bather the option of an opulent roll top freestanding bath or a super spacious shower area with rainwater shower head and of course a high-pressure shower.

Outside:
The house is approached via a wide four car drive off a private lane that is shared with a similarly valuable individual house just beyond. The private lane is in excellent order having been resurfaced when the neighbouring house was built, and this house was refurbished.

The drive arrives at an integral garage and then there is access via the side of the house to the garden that is fully enclosed, private and level with a broad sweep of south facing lawn, terraces and a deck area that take advantage of sunshine all day.
