A good range of amenities are available, including large Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets; doctors' and dental surgeries; a pedestrianised shopping centre; a banking hub; nationally known and smaller independent retailers, and professional offices. </p><p>There are additional local shops within walking distance of the property, while a monthly farmers' market is an attraction, and there is a good selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants. </p><p>There is high employment, and the schools are good, with Golden Valley and St. Francis schools close by. Nailsea and Backwell secondary schools are also both within easy reach.</p><p>Though well placed for the commuter, Nailsea is surrounded by pretty North Somerset countryside but with easy access to other major centres in the area and access to the SUSTRANS national cycle network with a good route to Bristol and other destinations. Junctions 19 and 20 of the M5 are less than 6 miles away, giving easy access to the country’s motorway network, and a mainline rail connection is available at Nailsea and Backwell Station, which is within walking distance, with direct trains to Bristol, Filton Abbey Wood, Bath and London Paddington.</p><p><strong>N.B.</strong> The agent has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixtures, fittings or services and therefore cannot verify that they are in working order or even connected.
