Property description

This FINE VICTORIAN HILLSIDE RESIDENCE enjoys the most fabulous southerly VIEWS across Clevedon to the Mendip Hills. The big surprise is the GARDENS which extend to around 33 meters in depth and about 25 meters at the widest point. It is very hard to find houses in the area with such magnificent gardens; this is one of the very few! The accommodation is well proportioned retaining its VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES whilst benefiting from those modern luxuries that we all enjoy. A fabulous OPEN PLAN KITCHEN/DINING ROOM extends along the back of the house with plenty of glass to enhance the views. There is even a BASEMENT level ideal for those looking to work from home or to provide guest accommodation. You are within striking distance of the town centre, the sea front and even Hill Road with its boutiques, shops and restaurants. This is a must to put on your list.
