Sellers Insight

We have spent many happy years in this house, creating wonderful memories as a family. Our children grew up exploring and playing in the private woodland which sparked endless adventures and imagination. The woodland even has its own little caves.

One of our favourite things about living here has been the beautiful surrounding area. We’ve enjoyed countless family walks to Sand Bay with the children playing in the dunes and watching the incredible sunsets over the coast. Weston Woods has always been a favourite spot for peaceful dog walks, especially in spring when the woodland floor is covered in bluebells. National Trust Sand Point is another much-loved destination, offering spectacular views and wonderful walks.

The house has been the perfect place to welcome family and friends together throughout the year. In the summer, we’ve loved hosting sunny barbeques and making the most of the outdoor space, while in winter the house becomes warm, cosy and inviting. Many evenings have been spent relaxing in the hot tub, taking in the views, and toasting marshmallows around the firepit, surrounded by the beautiful, wooded backdrop.

While Kewstoke itself has so much to offer, it is also ideally located for easy access to other areas of North Somerset and beyond. One of the things we have appreciated most is being able to enjoy all the benefits of village and countryside living, while still having excellent amenities close by. Thanks to the superb transport links, central Bristol is within easy commuting distance, making this a perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenience.
