Backwell House is an imposing Grade II listed Georgian country house set in about 13 acres of mature grounds. Sympathetically refurbished in 2016 as a boutique country hotel, the house retains high ceilings, floor‑to‑ceiling sash windows, elaborate plasterwork and a stone cantilever staircase that create a grand, light‑filled atmosphere throughout. The accommodation includes nine double bedrooms, nine bathrooms and extensive reception rooms suited to formal entertaining or multi‑generational family living.
The estate offers a mix of formal gardens, a walled kitchen garden, paddocks, mature trees, an outdoor swimming pool, garaging, a separate billiard room and useful outbuildings. A large commercial kitchen and basement rooms (home cinema, games room, wine cellar potential) give flexibility for family use or continued guest accommodation. Planning permission for change of use from hotel (Class C1) to a single residential dwelling (Class C3) is already granted, simplifying a residential conversion pathway.
Notable practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can complicate works; the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler and broadband and mobile signals are average. The scale and historic status mean ongoing maintenance and landscape management are significant commitments. For buyers seeking a prestigious country home near Bristol, Backwell House combines historic character, extensive private land and versatile accommodation, but it is best suited to those prepared for listed‑building responsibilities and the costs of running a large estate.
