Approached via an expansive sweeping driveway, double doors lead into a dual aspect entrance porch, ideal for greeting guests and for storing wet coats and muddy boots. Attractive double doors with feature stained glass inserts lead to the most spectacular and elegant period hallway complete with majestic wide staircase, decorative ceiling cornicing and stripped wooden floor. Two very generous reception rooms sit to the front of the property and boast welcoming feature fireplaces and stunning shuttered bay windows and, to the rear, a further reception room which would serve well as a home office or additional bedroom, if required. A beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room provides ample space for less formal dining and is fitted with an exquisite range of heritage style units including dresser and central island, all thoughtfully chosen to be in keeping with the property's period charm yet fulfilling all the needs of a modern, busy lifestyle. The accommodation on this level is completed with a useful downstairs cloakroom. To the first floor, an elegant galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. Each enjoy some wonderful features such as pretty period fireplaces and decorative cornincing together with some lovely views over Clevedon. The master bedroom benefits from its own en suite and there is an additional family bathroom which has been beautifully fitted complete with free standing bath and separate shower. To the lower ground floor, the accommodation has been cleverly and thoughtfully repurposed to provide a wonderful area for families to relax and enjoy some leisure time together. Currently arranged to offer a games room, home cinema and utility, prospective purchasers will have fun deciding how best they would use this great space themselves! There is also connecting but lockable internal access to the self contained apartment. Outside, the generous frontage provides ample parking and there is the added bonus of a garage, rare with period properties in this area. The rear garden has been arranged to be low maintenance with artificial lawn and decking, perfect for relaxing in the sun and for the children to enjoy. Princes Road is perfectly placed to give easy access to Clevedon's delightful Victorian sea front and the host of independent boutiques and cafes along Hill Road. Properties of this quality remain in high demand and an early viewing is recommended.
