Lavender Cottage is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached property with attractive gardens, set in a delightful location in the heart of the popular village of Backwell. With mainline railway services (Bristol 9 mins, London Paddington 105 mins), local schools, and the excellent amenities of the village just a few minutes’ walk away, it also enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and a real sense of rural charm.
A storm porch with bench seating provides a welcoming entrance as well as practical storage for coats and shoes.
The front door opens into the sitting room, a cosy space with an open fireplace and wooden surround that creates a warm focal point.
To the left is Bedroom 2. A generous double, it looks over the front garden and has direct access to a Jack and Jill ensuite with shower, w.c. and basin.
At the rear of the property lies the kitchen/dining/family room, the true heart of the home. A quarry-tiled floor runs throughout, while the living/dining area features a striking double-height ceiling with Velux windows that flood the room with light. The kitchen is fitted with cream units and contrasting black worktops, with a useful breakfast bar and space for a range cooker and dishwasher.
The dining area has space for a table and sofa, with French doors opening to the garden. This creates a seamless link to the outside, where a terrace provides the perfect setting for alfresco meals or summer barbecues.
Completing the ground floor, just off the kitchen, is a small utility area with space for a fridge freezer and washing machine, and a back door to the garden.
Upstairs is the principal bedroom. A bank of four windows frames the breathtaking, far-reaching views towards Tyntesfield. The room also includes fitted wardrobes, under-eaves storage, and an en-suite bathroom.
Outside
Lavender Cottage offers generous driveway parking, with a side return leading to a mature, fully enclosed garden. Private and well established, it includes several terraced areas. Raised planters provide excellent space for vegetables, ideal for gardening enthusiasts.
At the far end of the garden is a substantial outbuilding, offering valuable extra accommodation. Currently used as a summer house with a separate outdoor utility space, it is insulated and equipped with electricity and plumbing, making it well suited as an office, playroom, gym or versatile workspace.
