A spacious country home of terrific flexibility with wonderful extensive grounds to the rear including stabling and a generous garden cabin suitable for a home office or gym.
It may be an estate agents cliché to use the term deceptively spacious however in the case of Nuholme this is whole appropriate. The front of this sizeable property gives little clue as to the true depth and scale of the home on the basis that it is predominantly a T-shaped property that extends to a surprising depth to the rear. Set in an extremely popular part of the highly sought after Chew Valley, this most individual property is approached via a pair of hardwood gates that open to a generous parking area with space for a number of vehicles.
The front entrance leads to the inner hallway with an easy to maintain Karndean style flooring that runs through into the large and very smart kitchen. Much of the appeal of the home is that it offers a good deal of flexibility, currently laid out with two bedrooms on the ground floor and three bedrooms at first floor level but others may choose to use one of these ground floor rooms as a snug or study but with the ground floor shower room, this would be an ideal set of for those with a dependant relative seeking a degree of independence.
There are two good size sitting rooms, the first on the front elevation of the property with two large windows ensuring this benefits from a good deal of natural light and with a contemporary living flame gas fire set into a chimney breast with a useful airing cupboard to the far end housing the Grant oil fired central heating boiler. A further reception has a smart ceramic tiled floor and is utilised as a well fitted gym with space for four or five fitness machines but again could be a second office for those couples that both work from home. In addition to the shower room is a separate bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and separate walk in shower. The aforementioned kitchen has an expanse of granite worksurfaces and is finished in white gloss cabinets with a built in wine cooler, AEG ovens, coffee machine and microwave oven with a central island housing the Bosch induction hob. This room links perfectly with the adjoining formal dining room again with a gas fire with a generous conservatory to the rear featuring a long run of built in desk units and drawers. The views from here across the decking and adjoining fields and countryside beyond is beautiful. The larger of the two lounges is set behind the kitchen with a lovely stone fireplace and a huge cast iron wood burning stove with double doors opening to the raised decking area with its hot tub and a sheltered stone terrace to the far side which is safely enclosed from the front for those with young children or pets. From the ground floor hallway, a contemporary Oak staircase with open tread continues to the first floor with its three bedrooms and a further cloakroom serving this level.
The grounds to the rear of the property are the biggest surprise of all. There is no indication from the front as to the extent of land that sweeps down the hillside to the adjacent farmland and then continues in a dogleg running behind the neighbouring properties. Original stabling is still in situ and a large wooden cabin could be used as a sporting barn, a detached home office or hobbies room. Beautiful views coupled with the sound of birdsong and rustle of the wind through many surrounding mature trees is very special and a true reprieve from the hustle and bustle' of city living.
