5 bed detached house for sale

West Town Road, Backwell, Bristol, Somerset BS48

Step inside Primrose Cottage, a delightful character home brimming with charm and opportunity. Situated in the highly sought-after village of Backwell, this appealing property offers the perfect blend of cosy living and exciting potential for enhancement.

One of Backwell’s oldest and most enchanting homes. Originally a thatched farm worker’s cottage built from local stone, it has been lovingly extended and updated.

From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable. A pretty tiled porch offering a glimpse of the character that continues throughout.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a truly atmospheric hallway, complete with rich oak-panelled walls and warm wooden flooring. It’s the kind of space that immediately feels like home.

The sitting room stretches across the full width of the property, centred around a beautiful open fireplace crafted from local stone with an oak surround. Twin bay windows with bespoke window seats frame views of the garden-perfect for a quiet morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, with a door leading directly outside.

Tucked away behind the stairs is a versatile home office (or ideal playroom), accessed through an original oak latch door-just one of many authentic touches that make this home so special.

To the rear, the house opens up into a stunning family/dining room. With its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and striking fireplace with geometric tiling, this is a space made for gathering-whether it’s cosy evenings in or entertaining friends and family.

Beyond, you’ll find a handy ground floor shower room and a separate utility room with direct garden access( Ideal for busy family life and pets).

The kitchen is full of traditional charm, fitted with shaker-style units, display cabinets, and a classic Belfast sink set into marble-effect worktops. Mosaic splashbacks and space for a Rangemaster-style cooker complete the look, while the window overlooks a delightful internal courtyard-offering exciting potential (subject to planning) for further enhancement.

Upstairs, four characterful bedrooms await. Two generous doubles enjoy views over the garden, while the remaining rooms, perfect as children’s bedrooms-feature exposed beams, with one even boasting its own stone fireplace. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the space.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. A charming courtyard sits to the side, while the rear garden offers a generous lawn, enclosed for privacy, along with a patio area ideal for al fresco dining. At the far end, a gate leads to two off-street parking spaces, and a mature tree provides welcome shade in the summer months.
