A traditional four-bedroom, four-bathroom detached character cottage with gardens and outbuildings, set in a central position within a popular village with easy access to Bristol and beyond.
Nestled in the popular village of Sandford, Nursery Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom detached home rich in original character, offering generous room proportions and a highly flexible layout suited to modern living.
Set privately behind an electric oak gated entrance, the property provides ample parking and a detached double garage. The internal arrangement also lends itself to multi-generational living or income potential, with part of the home currently operating as a successful Airbnb.
A pitched porch with terracotta tiles opens into a central hallway with exposed beams, setting the tone for the rest of the house. From here a latched door opens to a comfortable sitting room with a stone feature wall and log burner providing a cosy retreat. A study to the rear with views over the garden creates a quiet space for home working.
Beyond, a light-filled inner hallway leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fully fitted with hardwood cabinetry, dishwasher and a range cooker. There is also plenty of space for a dining table. This in turn opens into a large conservatory, creating an easy flow between inside and out.
The utility room is well appointed, again with hardwood cabinetry, a Belfast sink and stable door to the garden, and is complemented by a contemporary ground floor shower room/cloakroom.
A particularly appealing element is the “Apple Store” annexe, which can operate independently or as part of the main house. It includes a sitting room, double bedroom and en suite bathroom, and is currently run as a highly successful Airbnb.
Upstairs, the further three well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around the landing. The principal bedroom is generous, with dual aspect windows and an en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a pretty family bathroom with rolltop, freestanding bath.
Outside
The gardens are generous in size, with a large level lawn and with a good degree of privacy. Enjoying sun throughout the day, they are thoughtfully arranged with mature planting, a pond and a number of seating areas which have been screened with tall hedging and provide a wonderful sanctuary in which to relax and make the most of the setting.
To the far end, a summer house and separate studio provide useful additional space. Both have power, lighting and Wifi which makes them well suited to home working or hobbies. A further outbuilding, currently arranged as a bar, offers a more informal entertaining space.
In addition to this the property offers a large detached double garage with easy access provided by electric doors together with ample driveway parking.
