6 bedroom detached house to rent

A truly outstanding home, offering elegance, space and privacy in one of Clevedon’s most desirable settings.

Description

Occupying a prime position within one of Clevedon’s most highly regarded and sought-after locations, this magnificent Victorian home is quite simply one of the finest properties the town has to offer. Meticulously refurbished to an exceptional standard, the house combines uncompromising quality, timeless elegance and refined period character, all set within beautifully manicured and professionally landscaped grounds.

A sweeping in-and-out gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a large double garage. The front gardens are heavily planted, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and a striking green backdrop, while also forming a truly impressive and welcoming approach to this elegant home.

A central portico entrance opens through double doors into a smart vestibule, featuring decorative ceiling cornicing, which in turn leads to a grand tiled reception hall. Here, a magnificent central staircase rises to the upper floors, setting the tone for the rest of the house. Throughout the property, original period features have been carefully preserved, including exquisite plaster cornicing, high ceilings, tall sash windows (some with working shutters), and fine fireplaces.

The ground floor offers three beautifully proportioned reception rooms. The principal drawing room is dual aspect and features a particularly wide bay window overlooking the rear gardens, flooding the space with natural light. The formal dining room, also dual aspect, is ideally suited to entertaining on a grand scale. The third reception room provides a more relaxed family living space, opening via double doors onto the gardens and flowing seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room.

The bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen is superbly appointed with extensive cream cabinetry, granite work surfaces, an Aga with companion oven and gas hob. A generous breakfast area sits beneath lantern windows, creating a bright and inviting space for everyday dining. From the kitchen there is access to the cellar, while to the rear lies a practical hallway with laundry room, walk-in butler’s pantry and direct internal access to the double garage. The garage houses a modern Worcester gas-fired boiler and benefits from heating — a rare and thoughtful touch.

The first floor offers exceptional flexibility, providing up to five bedrooms. A section of this floor is currently arranged to allow use as a fully self-contained apartment with its own access staircase, comprising a living room, bathroom and a well-proportioned double bedroom overlooking the front gardens. Also on this level is a pristine family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a standout feature — a magnificent bay-fronted room with a luxurious hotel-style en suite bathroom, complete with marble wall tiling, twin basins and a spacious walk-in shower. The galleried landing is wonderfully light and leads to a further staircase rising to the second floor, where a generous en suite bedroom provides an ideal guest suite or private space for a teenager.

The gardens are truly exceptional and wrap around the property, having been professionally designed to create a series of distinct outdoor rooms. The upper lawn, planted with fruit trees and mature palms, benefits from a sheltered, south-facing aspect. A vine-covered walkway leads to a middle terrace with a formal box parterre and striking purple verbena planting.

The lower terrace hosts a heated outdoor swimming pool, beautifully framed by agapanthus and sheltered by mature ornamental trees. A wide expanse of lawn offers an ideal space for children or pets, while a charming timber summer house sits discreetly to one side, enjoying views back towards the house. Acers, magnolia, gingko and roses provide year-round colour and seasonal interest.
