" An impressive bay front 4 bedroom family home dating from around 1930 and occupying a superb position within a prime avenue in this favoured village and offering extensive and very attractive accommodation with panoramic views to the front and mature rear gardens.

* Reception hall * Cloakroom * A spacious living room with bay window allowing views to the front * A generous separate dining room or family room * A fully fitted kitchen * A 19'8 (6m) principal bedroom with a feature Juliet balcony and full bathroom en suite * Family Bathroom * Drive and Garage * Mature gardens *

This fine family home enjoys a superb private position with extensive, mature gardens in one of the most sought after and exclusive locations in Long Ashton.

Some of the finest individual homes in the district are arranged on the south facing slopes of the village some way above Long Ashton Road and well away from any areas of new development and many including this property enjoy almost panoramic views across the vale. However, while the setting offers all of the benefits of tranquillity and privacy there are none of the disadvantages of being remote or out of touch with everyday facilities with all village amenities within easy reach.

The house was originally built around 1930 though, in recent years the property has been updated and improved creating a very comfortable home with many attractive features. The house also offers the advantage of an exceptional second floor principal bedroom suite that includes a full bathroom en suite, views to the front and a Juliet balcony that overlooks the rear gardens.

Long Ashton has for many years been one of North Somerset's most sought after villages being surrounded by picturesque countryside while ideally placed for the commuter. Good road connections are available to the major centres in the area with Bristol just 4 miles away. Junction 19 of the M5 is less than 6 miles giving easy access to the country's motorway network and a main line rail connection is available at nearby Nailsea and Backwell Station.

Local leisure prospects are similarly attractive with good sporting and recreational facilities, various sports centres and three challenging golf courses including Bristol & Clifton and Long Ashton, the latter found almost on the doorstep. Sailing and world-class fishing is offered at the nearby Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes. A number of well-established equestrian centres are located nearby and the Mendip Hills and vales of North Somerset are famed for some of the loveliest walks in the region.

In addition, all manner of cultural interests may be indulged in Bristol and Bath while, London - Paddington is an easy couple of hours away.
