4 Bed Detached house Sold

With origins from the 1920s, then a 1960s bungalow, following a more recent programme of updating and refurbishment, 46 Main Road, Cleeve now provides substantial, well planned family accommodation characterised by generous room dimensions throughout, with a charming rear garden, ample parking and a garage.

The house sits to the centre of a good sized plot, set back from Main Road, the A370, with an extensive block paved parking area to the front of the house, along with a lawned area with a tree and shrubs. The generous entrance lobby sets the tone of the surprisingly spacious accommodation within, with a smart entrance hallway with engineered oak floor that opens into a substantial inner reception hall. To the front of the house is the spacious dining room with room for a large dining table, and a neat office with a wall of fitted cupboards to one side and an integrated desk with drawers to one end.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a highlight of the property, with an extensive range of wall and base units and high quality AEG integrated appliances including a double oven and a 5-ring gas hob with overhead extractor, and there is a dishwasher.

The dual aspect sitting room is another highlight of the house, of excellent proportions and with wonderful views over the slightly elevated rear garden, towards neighbouring fields and the surrounding hills beyond. The attractive fireplace with a Living Flame gas fire, wooden mantelpiece and granite surround provides focus to the room, and light floods in through the wide French doors flanked by additional glazed panels. The direct access to the substantial dining terrace and garden beyond is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

The first floor accommodation is also generously proportioned, with all 4 bedrooms being good doubles, arranged around and off the galleried landing, and there is a smart contemporary family bathroom. Overlooking the rear is a substantial guest room with an extensive array of fitted wardrobes and drawers to one wall, in addition to a smart en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom is an impressive size, with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and drawers running along one wall (including a very generous airing cupboard) and a spacious en-suite bathroom with spa bath and large separate shower enclosure. French doors open onto a wooden balcony from which there are superb views over surrounding fields and up towards Cleeve Hill.

The garden is well proportioned, with a generous dining terrace accessible from both the utility room and the sitting room, and a sheltered area below the balcony provides a sense of a veranda. Beyond the dining terrace the garden is level, but slightly elevated, with a neat retaining wall and steps up to the main part, which is laid to lawn with borders to either side for year-round colour and interest.
