5 bed detached house for sale

3 Watery Lane, Nailsea BS48

Rose Cottage is a substantial late Georgian detached home, positioned within Nailsea’s old village conservation area on the highly regarded Watery Lane.

Thoughtfully extended and improved over the years, the property offers deceptively spacious and highly flexible accommodation, combining the character of a period home with the practicality needed for modern family living.

The front door opens into a useful entrance with space for coats and shoes, leading through to the main hallway where there is a downstairs WC and a handy utility cupboard. From here, the ground floor offers excellent flexibility with three reception rooms.

The main living room is a great size at over 22ft, with deep sill windows and a log burning stove set within a character fireplace, creating a warm and comfortable focal point. Both the living room and separate dining room are accessed from the hallway, with the dining room leading through to a further reception space, currently used as a cinema room, but equally ideal as a home office, playroom or snug, with direct access out to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room sits to the rear of the property, enjoying a sunny outlook over the garden and fitted in a traditional farmhouse style with ample storage and workspace.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with five well proportioned bedrooms, four of which are generous doubles. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect outlook and is complemented by a recently refurbished en suite wet room, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

Outside, one of Rose Cottage’s key features is the private south westerly facing rear garden, enjoying sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. Designed to be both attractive and manageable, it offers a combination of patio seating, lawn, mature shrubs, established borders and attractive stone walling, creating an ideal space for both entertaining and family use. A useful gated side access provides easy movement between the front and rear. To the front, a pretty stone walled approach leads to driveway parking and the integral garage.

Watery Lane remains one of Nailsea’s most desirable and established addresses, quiet and traffic free, yet within easy reach of local schools, shops and everyday amenities.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a home of genuine character, space and flexibility in a rarely available setting.

EPC Rating: D
