High Street, Blagdon, Bristol, Somerset, BS40

Sympathetically and extensively renovated by the current owners Oakwell is a 'chocolate box' style cottage positioned right in the heart of the ever popular village of Blagdon. Brought to the market with the benefit of no onward chain, this four bedroom 'link detached' property provides the perfect potential to create an exceptional family home.


In brief the ground floor accommodation comprises oak framed entrance porch, kitchen/dining room, sitting room and living room. Our vendor has struck the perfect balance between contemporary family living, whilst retaining a wealth of character features with the kitchen/diner being the most obvious example. Original flagstone flooring, exposed stone walls and open stone fireplace with wood burner inset provides all of the rustic charm you would expect from such a truly picturesque cottage. Coupled with modern matte finished wall, drawer and base units, integrated kitchen appliances a wooden framed double glazing over looking the rear garden, the contrast between periods works perfectly creating an ideal cooking and entertaining space. Both reception rooms on the ground floor mirror each other almost perfectly with woodburning stoves in each, engineered oak flooring and aspects out over the front of the home, the versatility created cannot be underestimated and provides excellent scope for a new occupier to set the house to their own needs.

On the first floor are four bedrooms a family bathroom. To the front of the property, bedroom one is an impressively spacious double bedroom benefiting from a recessed alcove over the staircase which could be used to create a dressing/make-up area to the principle room. Bedroom two and three are further double bedrooms in size, with the later enjoying far reaching views over the surrounding countryside and to Blagdon Lakes beyond. Bedroom four is a more comfortable single room and has most recently been used by the current owner as a home office. Similar to bedroom three it too benefits from far reaching views over the lakes so be warned, you may well find yourself getting lost in your surroundings when working from here, whilst all four bedrooms offer sanded and sealed solid wood flooring. The modern and stylish family bathroom consists panelled bath, walk in shower cubicle with dark slate grey wet room panelling, WC and vanity unit with oval wash hand basin inset. Complimentary metro tiling has been applied throughout.
