5 bed detached house for sale

Cambridge Road, Clevedon BS21

"We love the perfect symmetry and the seamless blend of original Victorian character with carefully chosen modern features. The house feels wonderfully spacious, is filled with natural light and offers complete privacy. The David Salisbury extension offers flexibility — the pool can be reinstated or adapted into a self-contained granny flat. This is a superb family home, with a stylish Smallbone-style kitchen, an extensive primary suite, and elegant Thomas Sanderson plantation shutters throughout."

Commanding a prime position on Cambridge Road overlooking the Gordano Valley, this exceptional Victorian 1890 stone-built home has been meticulously renovated to become one of North Somerset’s most remarkable residences.

Set in the highly sought-after Walton St Mary area of Clevedon, this unique five-bedroom family home spans three beautifully finished floors, complemented by a generous cellar, and blends classic period charm with modern comfort. Immaculately presented throughout, the property showcases original fireplaces, intricate cornicing, and stained glass — all brought to life through an extensive renovation by the current owners. All windows were replaced with wooden double glazing in 2012 and fitted with Thomas Sanderson plantation shutters, enhancing both energy efficiency and the home’s elegance. The recently renovated impressive entrance hall boasts a 100cm wide staircase with a Karndean parquet flooring. The current owners have continually maintained and improved the property, including fitting and insulating a new roof when the top floor was remodelled approximately eight years ago.

Flexibility defines the interior, with adaptable spaces to suit a wide range of lifestyles. A standout feature is the pool extension - currently used as a gym/playroom with a tylo Scandinavian sauna. This room offers potential for reinstatement as a 14-metre swimming pool with exiting ahu and pool cover or conversion into a self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

At the heart of the home lies a showstopping bespoke Yealm kitchen and utility room crafted by a fourth-generation cabinet maker. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, it boasts Corian worktops, atag appliances, a five-ring induction hob, twin ovens, microwave combi-oven, Bosch plate warmer, Liebherr American-style fridge freezer, double chest dishwasher Bosch drinks fridge, and a Zip hot/cold water tap. A roof lantern floods the space with natural light, while underfloor heating and triple-glazed bi-fold doors (with integral blinds) ensure year-round comfort. The separate utility area offers washing machine, tumble dryer, another fridge and sperate freezer.

The home boasts two elegant reception rooms on the ground floor, with soaring ceilings, bay windows and the original marble period fireplaces and intricate cornicing that immediately evoke its Victorian heritage. Rich in original detail, these rooms are perfect as a formal sitting room and a refined home office or drawing room. Their proportions and character help preserve the home’s charm, offering both warmth and versatility.

The substantial, bright and airy principal suite, renovated in 2014, features bespoke Timbercraft fitted furniture with three dedicated dressing areas. A beautifully appointed en-suite with a bath, double walk-in shower, and heated tiled flooring, as well as patio doors opening onto a private balcony with beautiful views over the Gordano Valley.

Outside, a private driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and access to a double garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens are a private retreat, with mature evergreen planting accented by seasonal white blooms. Two elegant patios, along with a charming summer house and garden shed, provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining throughout the year.

Cambridge Road is a leafy and sought-after address, moments from Clevedon Golf Course, the boutiques and cafés of Hill Road, and the picturesque seafront. Excellent transport links include the M5, Yatton train station, and Bristol Airport. The area is well served by both state and independent schools, making it an excellent choice for families thanks to its strong schooling options and convenient location.
