2 bedroom detached house

Squires Cottage is believed to date from the late 1800s with later additions. It is situated in a superb setting, perfectly located along the beautiful coastal road between Portishead and Clevedon on the edge of the Gordano Valley. Commanding a spectacular uninterrupted almost 180 degree view over both scenic adjoining farmland, and beyond to the Bristol Channel and Welsh coast. It is in the Green Belt. The property has tremendous scope to extend and maximise its setting, subject to any necessary planning consents (see Agent's note later concerning pre-planning approval).

The house offers comfortable living accommodation as currently presented, as well as offering a huge amount of development potential to extend either in contemporary or traditional design to maximise its setting, subject to any necessary planning consents. The bath/shower room and en-suite shower room are modern, and there is oil fired central heating.

The interior retains many features to the period. There are quarry tiles, exposed ceiling timbers, stone fireplaces, and period grates. The sitting room is split level and has a stone fireplace and chimney breast fitted with a log burning stove, it opens into the conservatory with superb views across the Channel. The dining room also has a stone fireplace and chimney breast fitted with a log burning stove. Double doors from the dining room open into the snug/bedroom 3 with en suite shower room, while another door accessed from the dining room leads down to the cellar. The kitchen, with superb views, includes a Rangemaster cooker (LPG) and integrated oven. The utility room with cloakroom off, opens into the conservatory which spans part of the width of the elevation
capturing the view.

On the first floor, the landing with sitting area and one of the two bedrooms and bath/ shower room all have spectacular views over to the Welsh Coast. The second bedroom overlooks farmland at the front to the south. All the rooms are generous in size.

Outside
It is approached through a five-bar gate and gives access to a parking area in front of a detached double garage with electrically operated roller door, adjoining workshop and a detached car port.

The pretty front garden is partly stone walled and bordered by mature shrubs. There is a central pathway, lawn, shrubs and an arbour which is clad with climbing shrubs including a rose. Immediately behind the cottage there is a further area of lawn, bordered by a variety of well established colourful shrubs, a weeping beech, raised beds and gravel steps winding downwards to a timber garden shed. Immediately behind the garage is a raised covered terrace, ideal for entertaining, with stunning panoramic views over the Channel in a west facing direction towards the setting sun. The principal section of garden lies to the east with a south and north aspect and is very private. There is an expanse of lawn interspersed with trees including apple and cherry, bordered by well established shrubs and mixed hedgerow. A pathway leads into a hidden compost area, which could easily be opened up into the main garden area.

Agent's Note
In July 2021 a proposed scheme to extend the cottage to the north and to re-configure the existing accommodation or demolish and re-build has received an acknowledgement of approval in principle only by North Somerset Council. This scheme, or any scheme will require formal written consent, before any works are implemented. Please see pre planning sketches on pages 6 and 7.
