Property Features

This striking residence built in just 2010 has been designed with a grand symmetrical elevation, with a mellow stone façade and finely dressed stone coins. The hand carved Bath stone front entrance has Tudor Rose detailing and carved bosses based on designs by the renowned Architect Augustus Pugin.

There is also secondary fridge freezer housed in the separate utility room.

The superb drawing room, almost 6 meters in length, is highlighted by a hand-carved stone fireplace, with motifs replicated directly from work in Windsor Castle, adding a touch of grandeur to the space.

The kitchen/dining room has bifold doors that open directly onto a generous entertaining terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for alfresco dining and gatherings.

The home is built to be energy efficient with quality materials throughout ensuring aesthetic appeal and is extremely well insulated with fully double-glazed hardwood windows and underfloor heating throughout. Upstairs, the property offers five generously sized bedrooms, with the option of a sixth bedroom on the ground floor, ideal for an elderly relative, with an adjacent washroom. The principal bedroom is a magnificent suite, featuring a fitted dressing room and a large balcony with sweeping views over the grounds and countryside. Bedroom two enjoys lovely views toward the distant wooded hillsides of Chelvey Batch. The principal bedrooms are served by three luxurious bathrooms, each featuring high-end fittings for the ultimate in comfort.

Garden Office & Additional Features

The property includes a separate garden office complete with an additional cloakroom, offering a private space for those working from home. This area is highly versatile and could also be used as a home gym, studio, or any other use to suit your needs. An attractive timber gazebo is perfectly placed to enjoy coffee in the morning sunshine.

Detached Two-Bedroom Cottage

The current owners have completely rebuilt the detached garden cottage, which sits to the rear of the main house. Positioned sufficiently far back to maintain independence and privacy, it is equally close enough to keep a watchful eye on the main house with ease. The cottage provides a well-maintained living space, ideal for guests, a dependent relative, or as a rental property. It features two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, and its own private garden area.

Car Barn & Grounds

Between the cottage and the main house is a car barn, providing ample parking and storage space. The manicured grounds surrounding the property are beautifully designed, with sweeping lawns bordered by neatly clipped hedging and carefully selected ornamental trees and shrubs. To the right of the long driveway is an area of raised copse, which adds interest and form to the gardens, particularly stunning when the hawthorn trees come into blossom in spring.

An interesting historical note, the original well of Backwell, from which the village takes its name, is situated within the grounds, adding a unique touch of history to this magnificent property.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional country home, offering luxury living, flexible accommodation, and a stunning setting in one of North Somerset’s most desirable locations.
