Rosemead is a large Edwardian detached house that will instantly appeal to the modern family. The front entrance is sheltered by a modern storm porch that leads into a wide entrance hall with lovely high ceilings and lots of storage. To the right is the kitchen that has been fully extended across the width of the house and opens into the second reception room to create a large kitchen, diner and family room, with patio doors out to the south-facing garden and benefiting from two large Velux windows which flood the rooms with light. Across the hallway is the sitting room that has an open fireplace with built in alcove storage either side. The tall double windows allow plenty of light and this room acts as lovely snug for those cooler evenings. There is a full family bathroom along the hall with a shower over the bath and a further shower room on the first floor. Upstairs you will find three double bedrooms and a smaller single room or study. There is further scope to extend into the loft (subject to the usual planning permissions). The double garage can be accessed via the kitchen; it is currently part-carpeted, has kitchen units along one wall, and has plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is further storage on the opposite side of the house thanks to a sizeable lean-to. The large south-facing garden has a full width patio and lawn with 2 apple trees, raspberry canes, a blackcurrant bush, mature shrubs and raised beds ready for planting. Perfectly located for an easy bus ride or cycle into Bristol, and close enough to commute to Bath and the Chew Valley, this house is in a charming spot on the old part of Staunton Lane.

Directions

Travelling along the A37 Wells Road, turn into Staunton Lane at the Maes Knoll pub. Follow the road across the mini roundabout, then turn right into to the old part of Staunton Lane (parallel to the Horse World lane). Rosemead is on the right-hand side, about 50m down the lane. ///swear.film.lush

Situation

The sought after Whitchurch Village, in the Bath & North East Somerset county, is approximately 4 miles south of Bristol city centre and approximately 10 miles from Bath with its Roman origins and Georgian architecture. Within walking distance there are a number of shops including a post office, a Co-op, hairdressers and barbers, a newly refurbished playground and Whitchurch Primary School. There are multiple options for secondary education including the renowned Chew Valley School. The nearby Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes are notable for their fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities, and there are plenty of countryside walks from the door step. There is a great cycle route into Bristol via the Whitchurch Way. It is only a short drive to the A4 and South Bristol Link Road, the M4/M5 motorways are accessible via a link road at Keynsham and Bristol International Airport is within easy reach.

Our vendor says... We will miss the peace and quiet, the lovely light rooms with big windows and the sunny garden. At Rosemead you are much more likely to be woken by the birds than anything else at the weekends, and the bumps in the private no-through lane mean that the cars that do come past the house are travelling slowly enough for the children to stay safe.

We have noticed... Rosemead is a fantastic sized house and is perfectly laid out for a family and a short commute into Bristol - a must see!
