From this popular road, most of what Clevedon has to offer is extremely accessible.

Description

This wonderful home has a fascinating history and is a noted local property having played an important role in the town's rich history. Originally dating to 1895, the property was originally a gentleman's club and the principal feature of the home remains the extraordinary high vaulted drawing room, once the Billiard Room and a fashionable venue attended by the well-heeled local Victorians and Edwardians – a lovely echo of a bygone era. During the war, the property took on a less glamorous but arguably more important role as the Local Civil Defence Headquarters and more latterly, 'The Old Library, well used by the Clevedon community. As such, it is only in the last 7 years that the property took on its latest and current guise – an outstanding and extremely sensitive conversion into this truly special and unique family home.

Making the very most of the property's original layout (and in particular the magnificent billiard room), it was very sensibly decided to arrange the accommodation such that the bedrooms are all set out on the ground floor and living space, including the outstanding modern kitchen on the first floor.

The entrance to the property is particularly impressive, featuring a Victorian Terrazzo style floor and high corniced ceilings that flood the property with natural sun light throughout. Ornate fireplaces and sash windows add further to the home's charm but the comprehensive renovation has fully bought the house into the modern age, not only by way of the smartly appointed bathrooms and sleek uncluttered kitchen but also the installation of full central heating, re-wiring, re-plumbing, discreet solar panels - even two separate electric car charging points. Whilst the home is of a perfectly balanced proportion, it is worth noting that there are two further rooms at the basement level that could be further enhanced for those seeking to put their own stamp on the property.

A few gentle steps lead down to the safely enclosed, south facing garden to the rear. A level garden in is certainly considered a premium in Clevedon and sun lovers will enjoy the sheltered terrace set adjacent to the good size lawn, bounded by colourful, well stocked flow and shrub borders.
