The Avenue is undoubtedly one of Clevedon's premier roads offering an impressive selection of elegant, mainly period properties set against an attractive, tree lined backdrop. Rugby House is a fine example of period architecture and design and retains a host of original features such as decorative fireplaces, tiled floors, ceiling roses and coving and of course, those fabulous room proportions. To the ground floor, a magnificent entrance hallway leads to the principal reception rooms including a gracious sitting room with bay window, connecting dining room, a pleasing study/playroom and a kitchen/breakfast room with the most exquisite original Welsh dresser and access to the covered veranda, a charming place to entertain family and friends. For those domestic chores, there is a useful mud room and an additional boot room for rainy days and muddy wellingtons! To the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook. There is the potential to create an en suite/walk in wardrobe to the master bedroom by reconfiguring the adjoining bathroom and w.c. and there is an additional family bathroom serving the first floor bedrooms. To the top floor, there are two further characterful bedrooms and a bathroom enjoying a generous amount of floor space. There are ample storage options with a three room attic that could easily be converted into bedrooms, a hobby/games room or bespoke home working spaces. The accommodation is complimented by a generous five room cellar including a utility room, wine cellar and laundry/drying room.Outside, Rugby House sits in impressive grounds which have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a space which is appealing to all including those who enjoy pottering and for children to play. Laid predominantly to level lawn and framed by well stocked borders, the gardens enjoy a good amount of privacy. In addition, there is ample off street parking. The Avenue is ideally situated to enjoy easy access to pleasant woodland walks and Clevedon Golf Club with well regarded schools and the fabulous independent shops, cafes and restaurants of Hill Road just a short distance further. Rugby House truly offers all you would wish to find in a home of this stature and so much more!
