The house is situated between Milton village (with its own rail station and variety of small shops) and Weston-Super-Mare (with all its facilities including direct main line rail links to London, Cardiff and the north). The M5 at j21 is about about three miles; with easy access to Cardiff, Birmingham and London (or head south for a weekend break in Devon and Cornwall). Bristol Airport is 20-25 minutes, next stop an amazing variety of destinations from Inverness to New York (with the usual low cost Spanish escape routes also). The property is also near (less than two minute walk) two very regular bus links between Weston and Worle. And yes, there is a pub within a sensible staggering distance and corner shop for the usual Sunday morning needs.
It is an ideal property for a family, a couple looking for spacious contemporary living with room for hobbies, friends buying together or a variety of business options (subject, of course, to permission). Where the busier Locking Road is very suitable for Guest Houses, Garages and Small Supermarkets, the quieter Milton Road is a favoured road for professional businesses and consultancies.
With the large garden and independent access it may also be suitable to create 3 independent, detached residential dwellings utilising the main house, the cottage and the coach house converted to a studio (subject - again - to planning permission).
The ’4 bedroomed’ dwelling was built in 1901 by the builder/developer of all the adjacent properties for his own home. Current internal organisation comprises:
upstairs:
- 2 bedrooms (one en-suite)
- dressing room
- gym
- bathroom.
downstairs:
- entrance lobby / hallway
- 2 reception rooms
- kitchen
- office.
(plus loft study / storage with Velux accessed by roof ladder)
Features include:
- separate, renovated (2005), modern (c1994) garden cottage (c42m2: ideal for elderly parents, teenage living studio or additional income) with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen / living area and separate conservatory with decking.
- original detached brick coach house with clay tile floor (c18m2: intended as artists studio, but perfect for any number of business ventures)
- large overall plot (approx 480m2) with room to park 3 cars off road in the entrance, and the potential of utilising the side access for additional parking or the Coach house as a garage / workshop.
