House For Sale £415,000
Hillcrest Road, Nailsea BS48

A spacious 3-4 bedroom family home in a peaceful and premium location near Nailsea School. The house has been cherished by its current owners for many years and is now available with no onward chain delay, ready to be updated for the next quarter of the century, which is almost upon us!

The well-arranged and generously proportioned accommodation is considerably larger than most of the 3-bedroom homes built in this area since then, with better spacing between houses. As a result, the gardens are mostly of a good size, and there are additional features like extensive driveways, carports, and garages, perfect for electric vehicles and all our belongings.

This sought-after address has been popular since its inception and played a significant role in the development of Nailsea as a small town during the 20th century. It is close to Nailsea School, the High Street, and the former Grammar School, yet far enough away to avoid the noise of busy roads or non-resident parking, with no permits required.

Within a 5 or 6-minute walk, you have access to a wide range of amenities, including excellent nearby infant and junior schools, cafes, bars, and restaurants.

The town centre offers leisure centres, a gym, health centres, a dentist, a bank, and an increasing selection of shops. Internet access is reliable, with ultrafast broadband speeds of 1 gigabyte or better available from providers other than BT. Commuting to larger towns and cities in the region is straightforward, with convenient road links to nearby towns and Bristol, which is 8 miles away. Nailsea's mainline railway station, located on the southern edge of town, provides local and intercity services, connecting to Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Taunton, and beyond, including direct trains to London-Paddington. SUSTRANS cycle ways lead out from Nailsea, and there are two M5 junctions within 6 miles.

The surrounding countryside is picturesque with hills, vales, moors, river valleys, lakelands and coastal scenery too all within North Somerset and so close to the regions leading City.

The Accommodation:
Inside, the living space is spacious and inviting, benefiting from a bright and airy atmosphere with an east-west aspect and large picture windows. The entrance hall leads to the main rooms and a cloakroom (WC).

The double-aspect living room is flooded with natural light through the wide double-glazed windows, providing an open outlook to the front.

Additionally, the double doors draw your attention to the family room, which is versatile and enjoys ample natural light, with windows overlooking the patio and private rear garden. These gardens are adjacent to Nailsea Bowls Club, with a tennis club beyond, ensuring no overlooking and pleasant neighbours.

At the rear of the house, the kitchen is of a good size, and in similar properties of this original design that we have sold, there is potential to redesign the layout to incorporate breakfast tables, breakfast bars, or even an island. There is ample space for fitted storage, a pantry, and a rear outlook, with a stable door leading to a lobby at the side.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the third bedroom offering an unusually spacious layout. The bathroom features a genuine Wild Sage suite, not Avocado, and is in good working order. However, there is plenty of space to create a truly lovely bathroom if it aligns with your future plans.

An attic staircase rises from the main landing up to an attic room with gallery rails around the top of the staircase. Here the space has been used as a fourth bedroom and a study with a window set into the gable allowing partial views across the town towards Cadbury Camp, the Tickenham and Clevedon hillsides. The attic room only utilises a smaller part of the loft area so there is still significant potential for further formal second floor bedroom and even bathroom space, while in the meantime there is good storage accessed via a panel door.

The Outside:
A traditional pillared gateway opens to an expansive driveway that can easily accommodate 4 cars, as shown in our main photograph, behind where the silver Mercedes Estate Car is parked a partially occupied carport contains a modern Mini Coper car with the garage some way past that.

Given the sizable plot and the available space beside the house, including part of the garage's footprint, there is significant potential for further extensions. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, extensions could be made at ground level or across both ground and first floors. Possible additions may include an integral garage, a utility room, an enlarged kitchen on the ground floor, and an additional double bedroom with a bathroom on the first floor.

The rear garden has a wide sheltered level patio and lawn with hedge and timber fenced boundaries ensuring a good measure of seclusion although the over the fence there is a single level property so there are no overlooking issues from behind.

Energy Performance:
Although Energy Performance Certificates are becoming increasing less relevant and unfit for purpose due to now significantly outdated calculation software, they are still required pending introduction of an accurate, relevant new means of assessment. Based on this arcane metric this property will be assessed and a certificate has been commissioned. As soon as the information is available we will republish but the detail will be available first on our website and certainly within 28 days. We anticipate the house will be in Band D as nearly every other house of this style has been, almost irrespective of recent improvements.
