Somerset house with lots of potential
A period country house with far-reaching views near Bristol offers privacy and a good deal of potential


This charming period property in Somerset has an elevated position with distant views towards The Mendips. The house was extended in the 1950s, and is now in some need of updating, but offers an enormous amount of potential.
Accommodation in total comprises: entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, drawing room, library, kitchen and five bedrooms plus a family bathroom. A terrace is accessed through French doors from the sitting room.
Birdswell has charming gardens to the side and rear of the house. A path meanders through the side garden. The grounds continue above the house and the garage has a separate workshop. The main part of the house has a southerly aspect with views across Golden Valley towards The Mendip Hills.
Nailsea (one-and-a-half miles) has everyday facilities as does Portishead (4 miles); Bristol City centre is just over eight miles.
The guide price is £650,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 0117 317 1999 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
