LOCATION
Situated at the foot of the Mendip Hills, Cheddar is an ideal base from which to enjoy wonderful country walks. Road links are excellent, with easy access to the A38. Bristol is only 30 minutes away and the M5 motorway approximately 20 minutes. Public transport is well represented with a bus service passing through the village every hour linking Cheddar with Axbridge, Weston Super Mare and Wells. Bristol International Airport is 25 minutes away. Please note, the village is not under the flight path therefore aircraft noise is not a consideration for residents. Local attractions include Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor and the seaside at Weston Super Mare.
The village itself has a wide range of shops to cater for everyday needs, banks, a Building Society and a Post Office as well as doctor's and dentist's surgeries. There is a three-tier school system where children up to the age of nine attend the First School, then move on to Fairlands Middle School and finally on to The Kings of Wessex Community School and all these schools are within the village. The Kings Fitness and Leisure Centre adjoining the Kings of Wessex Community School offers an extensive range of activities for all the family and has an indoor heated swimming pool. There are also a number of village sports clubs and societies to cater for everyone.
DIRECTIONS
From our office in Union Street, Cheddar turn left and proceed into Cliff Street and left again at the mini roundabout into Tweentown which becomes The Barrows. Turn left into Barrows Road where the property will be found almost immediately on the left hand side.
Believed to have been built circa 1890, this immaculately presented detached Victorian house has been lovingly restored and maintained by the present owners, who have been in residence for over twenty five years.
Improvements include re-wiring, a new roof, replacement windows with modern day UPVC woodgrain effect sash and casement style windows and matching doors throughout, a constant programme of internal and external redecoration and many hours spent lovingly restoring most of the previously painted internal woodwork (including skirting boards, doors, door frames, staircase and window returns) to their original stripped and sealed wax polished condition.
Now finding the spacious accommodation too big for their needs, the owner's of this beautiful home have reluctantly instructed us to offer it 'For Sale' with a Guide Price of £500,000.
A personal appointment to view this delightful property is thoroughly recommended at your earliest opportunity, as properties of this calibre rarely become available within the village.
