Full Description: DESCRIPTION Subject to a recent thorough renovation by our current vendors 1 Southleaze Cottages is an exceptional family home with flexible living accommodation and a wonderful private garden. Originally constructed in the early 1900's for the use of schoolteachers working at nearby Sidcot school, this end of terrace house has been dramatically restored and much extended to create what is a now perfect home for a large family of those looking for dual occupation potential. Approaching the house to the front, there is ample off-road parking for three vehicles on a smart slightly elevated cobblestone driveway. A pretty front porch gives access to two separate front doors, one leading to the original period cottage and the second to the newer built side extension. In the main house you find an attractive sitting room with a lovely south facing aspect and a lovely feature fireplace. A characterful inner hallway adds great charm to the property and provides access to both the kitchen and a well-appointed ground floor shower room. Stairs also rise from here to the first-floor accommodation, and there is also a really handy store cupboard. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching traditional style wall and base units, contrasting with a black granite effect countertop and chic metro tiles. There is space for a 'Rangemaster' cooker and plumbing/provision for white goods and a neat and practical tiled floor. Beyond the kitchen you will find a small utility area that has space for a large fridge freezer and other white goods. From there an arch continues into a light filled family/garden room that has a fabulous outlook over the rear garden, this versatile room could be utilised as a formal dining room if desired and has floor to ceiling windows to the rear and a useful cupboard to the side. Continuing to the first floor, where you will find three double bedrooms and a huge family bathroom. The master bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe area and an outlook over the garden to playing fields, bedroom two enjoys the same aspect and a fitted wardrobe, finally bedroom three has a fantastic front facing aspect that looks out towards the rolling hills of the Mendips. Completing the first floor is a great sized family bathroom which has a three-piece white suite and tiled surrounds. Moving across to the right-hand side of the house, the accommodation is presented with much more of a contemporary feel, yet still displaying some lovely original features. To the front of the property is a super designer kitchen which features a superb modern glass staircase rising to the first floor with a stunning exposed stone wall to the side and a cool cylindrical radiator. The kitchen is fitted with a range of retro inspired high gloss units with integrated appliances including, induction hob, AEG dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. The room features windows to two aspects and two beautifully crafted display units integrated into the designer staircase. There is a really handy and spacious store cupboard, and a separate utility and cloakroom. A half wood half glazed door leads through to an impressive sitting room with bi-fold doors effortlessly flowing the accommodation out into the garden. This minimalist room has another glorious dual aspect and fabulous vista over the garden. On the first floor there are two bedrooms including a splendid master bedroom with French doors and a Juliette balcony, within the room a door leads to a spacious walk-in wardrobe along with a super en-suite bathroom with a contemporary white suite with stone effect tiles. A second double bedroom makes a perfect guest room as it also features its own en-suite shower room, a large, fitted wardrobe and a great view to the front. Outside, the garden is every bit as impressive as the house and provides both excellent recreation/entertaining space and space to cultivate your own veg and plants. Carefully designed to offer a low maintenance space to enjoy all year round, the majority of the garden is laid to artificial grass, with a large terrace for al-fresco dining just to the rear of the house, a pathway leads to a wonderful summer house, which features a bar area and cloakroom, this great addition could also be utilised as a home office, craft room or occasional bedroom (for the young or young at heart). Several raised beds beyond the summer house are perfect for growing some of your produce and the garden is fully enclosed by lap fencing with rockery borders to either side. To the rear of the garden a gate leads out to a rear pathway that takes you down to the popular Strawberry Line, walking/cycle path.SITUATION The North Somerset village of Winscombe was recently placed as the second best place in Britain to raise a family by family investment firm OneFamily (survey in 2015) and is nestled in the beautiful Mendip countryside within commuting distance of Bristol.
