Property description
Folleigh is a UNIQUE and INDIVIDUALLY designed modernist home. One of three built in this location, the design incorporates a series of octagonal shaped rooms with perspex domes and interesting skylight features, bringing so much natural light into these amazing spaces. Three of the bedrooms have direct access onto the GARDENS as do the kitchen, dining room and sitting room. This is the property for those looking for architectural stimulation; its lovely to see a property with so much LIGHT, SPACE and MODERNITY. The gardens are private and beautifully designed and offer space. To one side are the STUDIO and OFFICE.Backwell enjoys the benefits of one of the areas leading comprehensive schools (you should read the Ofsted Report). You are also well located for commuting into Bristol. There is a nearby station in Backwell and the local Bristol International Airport is a short drive. We strongly recommend an appointment to view.
Accommodation (all measurements approximate)

Kitchen/Dining Room - 24' 10'' x 11' 3'' (7.56m x 3.43m)
Two beautiful light airy spaces both hexagonal in shape and open plan to one another. The dining area enjoys direct access onto the gardens and has proved ideal when entertaining both inside and out. A further window opens onto the side gardens and there is a hexagonal skylight which sits directly above the dining table. A porcelain tiled floor extends through into the most attractive kitchen; fitted with a great range of gloss white fronted cupboard and drawer units, ergonomically designed with excellent worktops, two circular sink units from which views extend directly into the gardens. There is an electric cooker point with an extractor hood directly above and plumbing for a dishwasher. There is also space for a fridge/freezer. Again from the kitchen there is direct access into the gardens making this ideal when eating alfresco.
Sitting Room - 18' 0'' x 13' 9'' (5.48m x 4.19m)
A fabulous well proportioned room with almost full width double glazed sliding patio doors which provide a panoramic view of the gardens and provide so much light.

Master Bedroom - 12' 9'' x 11' 3'' (3.88m x 3.43m)
As soon as you wake up a skylight sits directly above, great to see the clouds pass over. A double glazed door opens directly onto the patio and enjoys great views of the gardens. The bedroom is open plan to the:

A domed skylight brings plenty of light into this room.
OUTSIDE
From the road there is immediate access to the double garage with its electronically operated door 21'9\" x 16'3\" with power and light. Once parked up take the steps down into the grounds. You will be greeted by an impressive entrance door, alternatively take the path to the left or right passing through beautifully planted gardens. On the far side of the house there is a well equipped:
Studio - 18' 4'' x 10' 10'' (5.58m x 3.30m)
Which is stone fronted and enjoys the benefit of WC and washing facilities. What a great party room with its french doors opening directly into the gardens. Great fun.
Close by is a:
Self Contained Office - 10' 8'' x 10' 7'' (3.25m x 3.22m)
With a domed skylight above and high level windows. A great place to work from home.
The gardens will not disappoint, a curvaceous lawn is flanked by beautifully planted borders and a high level patio that runs along the full length of the property. A further patio runs along the far side of the garden leading to an attractive pond. In the other direction pass under a rose arbour and turn left up a series of steps to another pond or pass through to the side of Folleigh and a glass door will open to the:
Workshop - 16' 0'' x 16' 0'' (4.87m x 4.87m)
With an attractive water feature directly in front. There is a further patio which sits outside the kitchen door and window, great for early coffee. The gardens enjoy so much of the day's sun and even enjoy glimpses to Clevedon's hillside and the Welsh mountains beyond. This is a very unique and secluded position.
