'Having always lived in terraced houses, we were keen to live in a detached house with some space around it. We were intrigued by the distinctive design of the house, one of only two built by the builder (who originally lived in it). While growing up the children were particularly attracted to the very large bedrooms, especially as they got older. By their teens, we had become sleepover central in the area. Obviously, both Backwell School and Yatton Junior School (actually on our street) were the key drivers other than the house itself. The fact that there is a free bus service from Yatton the Backwell School was also a real positive.

We have always spent most of our time in the kitchen/diner, on the terrace when the sun is out, and in the snug. We have some great memories of long summer nights on the terrace and will miss having friends over for dinner, especially summer barbeques, and our children's increasingly riotous birthday parties. Selling will be a bitter-sweet experience: we love the house and have lived here for longer than anywhere else, but it's just too big for us now.'

This house is situated on Stowey Road, a quiet road which runs parallel with Yatton's main high street. Within walking distance of the house is the well-regarded Yatton Primary School as well as several of Yatton's shops, cafes and pubs. The area is a short-walk from several outstanding open spaces. Cadbury Hill Fort and Nature Reserve is a short walk away, offering a brilliant space for dog-walks, runners and off-road cyclists. Claverham Cricket Club is a beautifully scenic cricket ground, home to a successful local club, whilst at Cadbury House there is a gym, restaurant and event space just on the southern side of Claverham. Claverham, Yatton and the surrounding villages thrive in popularity due mostly to the balance they strike between country life and accessibility to the city and the motorway. Yatton Train Station offers great access to Bristol and a direct train to London. The journey into the centre of Bristol should usually take under half an hour and within less time residents can be in the most scenic and arid parts of the Mendips or on the coast at Clevedon or Portishead. For families, the proximity of Backwell School is a real positive, as it is renowned locally as one of the better secondary schools in the area.


From the vaulted ceilings on the landing to the modern bi-fold doors from the kitchen/diner, this is a house with an intriguing and exciting design and flow. The space on offer is fantastic, with over 2200 square foot of space including the double garage. Each of the bedrooms on the first floor is a generous size, with two reception rooms, a utility room and a kitchen/diner on the ground floor. The practical layout and space on offer are also complimented by the future potential to alter. The double garage offers scope for conversion or could make a fantastic studio, workshop or office. In the past, it's even served as a mini-indoor skate park! The rear garden is also a really appealing feature considering its south-westerly aspect and accessibility from the contemporary kitchen/diner and the snug, which can double up as a great room to sit and read with the doors open in the summer. Being detached, with this private rear garden, driveway and double garage, there are several practical aspects of this home which are rarely found and perfectly suit modern life in a semi-rural location. The quality of finish and the style of this home mean it is ready to move in, whilst its versatility and configuration allows for the new owners to make some great changes should they wish.
