The front of the property
The front of the property overlooks scenic fields. The field directly across the Lane belongs to the nearby Equestrian Centre and horses frequently graze past, adding to the idyllic rural ambiance and panoramic views.

Ample Space & Practical Features
A large double garage with an electrically operated up-and-over door provides generous space for vehicles, storage, and hobbies, and benefits from direct access into a side porch, which leads conveniently into the house. This thoughtful feature allows you to get in or out of your car without getting wet, making daily routines easier and more comfortable regardless of the weather. The garage is equipped with mains power sockets, lighting, built-in shelving, and cupboards. For added convenience, there's ample off-road parking directly in front of the property-this area forms part of the front garden, not a layby-and plenty of space on the driveway for several vehicles, making parking effortless for residents and visitors alike.

Spacious & Versatile Living Areas
Inside, the home boasts four generously sized bedrooms-three upstairs, including a luxurious master with an en-suite, and one downstairs, offering flexible living options. The property features three bathrooms: A family bathroom, a shower room with WC, and the en-suite, ensuring comfort and privacy for all.

Modern Kitchen & Entertaining Spaces
The contemporary kitchen is a culinary delight, fitted with a comprehensive suite of neff appliances-including a large fridge, two ovens (one at eye level), a washing machine, dishwasher, and a hob. Extensive storage is thoughtfully designed with two large units featuring innovative pull-out cupboards, high-level cabinets with additional ovens and drawers, and a sizeable fridge unit with extra storage. An additional unit provides accessible storage for utilities and airing needs, making daily living both convenient and stylish.

Recent Upgrades & Essential Systems
Recent enhancements include a new central heating system and boiler installed four years ago, ensuring warmth and efficiency. An oil tank, added ten years prior, supplies the home-a necessary feature in this valley, where there is no gas supply.

Outdoor Living & Spectacular Views
Step outside to the spacious dining and reception area, perfect for entertaining family and friends. A newly added garden room offers a tranquil retreat overlooking a mature garden of established trees, shrubs and flower beds. From the garden there is direct access to a Meadow devoted to Wildlife. Many trees and shrubs have been planted among several areas of grassland in which grow a variety of Wildflowers. The Meadow also provides spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Whether relaxing with a book or hosting gatherings, this outdoor space embodies the best of rural living.

A Village Steeped in History and Surrounded by Natural Beauty
Nestled in the heart of Clapton in Gordano, this charming village offers a true taste of country life. At its centre stands the Black Horse, an iconic 14th-century pub that has remained little changed over the centuries, offering a warm, traditional atmosphere and a glimpse into the village’s rich history.

The Gordano Valley itself is designated as a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi), comprising four protected nature reserves. Its lush landscapes and tranquil woodland provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor pursuits, peaceful walks, and a deep connection with nature.

Despite its idyllic rural setting, the village benefits from excellent proximity to modern amenities. Within just 2 miles, Portishead offers two medical surgeries, several dental practices, a bustling High Street, and four major supermarkets-making everyday essentials easily accessible.

For commuters and travellers, the strategic location is ideal:

For lovers of heritage and outdoor pursuits, Tyntesfield National Trust estate is just 4 miles east, offering stunning gardens and historic architecture. The towns of Clevedon and Nailsea are within 15 minutes’ drive, providing an array of shops, schools, and leisure facilities.
