5 bedroom detached house

Beautiful cottage that is bursting with charm and character, situated in the popular village of Claverham - Rainbow Cottage started life as a farmhands residence, then utilised as a police station until the 1960's, and having been sympathetically extended over the years is now a wonderful five bedroom family home. This stunning property is beautifully presented throughout and retains a great deal of character, with many rooms featuring walls with exposed stone work, wooden beams and log burning stoves to the main reception rooms. The original entrance is seldom used these days as the current owners mainly access the property from the rear. A porch/boot room leads into the dining/family room which is in turn open to the bespoke kitchen. An inner hallway provides access to the sitting room which is festooned with period features, study, ground-floor bathroom and utility room. A flight of stairs at the end of the hallway allow access to a bedroom, while the central staircase leads to the first floor where you have four more bedrooms and family bathroom. From the first floor landing, a staircase rises to the converted loft that is being utilised as an additional office. Solar panels and battery pack have also been installed, a welcome cost saving feature for the future owner.

Outside, a stone wall encompasses the front and side with a gate leading to the original entrance with double wooden gates providing access to the driveway. The front is beautifully softened and framed by an array of mature hedge and shrubs, with an aroma of honeysuckle as it cascades over the wooden porch. The rear has been beautifully landscaped, with indian sandstone providing a wonderful patio area to sit and unwind. An additional small raised seating area is tucked away in a corner and beautifully screened with planted shrubs with a small shed beyond. A picket style fence and gate lead to the gravel driveway where you have off-street parking for two vehicles and leads to the detached garage

The backwater of Claverham is a great location for those wishing to combine easy country living with fantastic country walks, and also being a great commuter base for both Bristol and surrounding towns. For commuting, the M5 junction can be found at both Weston Super Mare and Clevedon, railway stations at Yatton and Backwell with Bristol International Airport just at the top of the hill.
