Sellers insight:
“It was the quiet yet convenient setting of the property which first attracted us to Holly Cottage,” say the current owners, “offering the best of both worlds. The property is nestled in a small hamlet in the heart of Somerset’s beautiful countryside, yet is still only 20 minutes from Bristol. We loved the idea of being able to step out the back door and walk along the country footpaths, with no need of a car.”

Since moving in, the owners have enhanced the property to make it the ideal home for everyday life and entertaining alike. “We built a large extension to create a spacious lounge and kitchen diner,” they say. “This is an open, light and welcoming space with a sense of cosiness afforded by the woodburning stove. Patio doors open out onto the garden to create an easy flow between the indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces. The garden itself is a delight: being south facing, the patio gets the sun all day, and we love to sit and look out over the pond. Further, fruit trees, vegetable plots and a greenhouse provide an abundance of fresh produce straight from garden to table.”

The local area has much to recommend it, too. “We are surrounded by stunning countryside, whilst remaining within easy reach of local towns and centres,” the owners say. “Bristol Airport is a 12-minute walk away for transport to Bristol, Weston-Super-Mare and Plymouth, with Bristol Temple Meads also a short journey away for easy rail connections. The local train station at Nailsea Backwell offers easy, good-value parking for days at a time when away. Schools in the area are excellent: for example, the nearby Backwell School is one of the most-sought after schools in the South West. On a very local level, our neighbours are kind and friendly, contributing to a great sense of community in the hamlet.”
