4 double bedrooms with principal en suite
Box Cottage is a characterful stone family home on Backwell Common, sympathetically extended to offer more than 2,400 sq ft of flexible living. Ground-floor spaces include a large lounge with multi-fuel burner, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and a bright family room with lantern roof and bi-fold doors that open onto the garden — a practical layout for family life and entertaining.
The property sits on a large plot with extensive gravel parking, mature front planting and a generous rear lawn with open countryside views. A substantial block-built outbuilding and separate powered games room provide excellent storage, hobby space or scope for an annex conversion subject to planning — useful for multi-generational living or home working.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house has been modernised yet retains period features (exposed stone walls and oak beams) and benefits from underfloor heating fed by an air-source heat pump. However, the EPC rating is F and broadband speeds are very slow; some energy and connectivity upgrades may be needed. Council Tax sits above average for the area.
This home will suit families seeking a semi-rural setting close to local schools, the mainline station and countryside walks, and buyers who value period character with room to adapt. The outbuilding and plot size offer clear potential to add value, subject to permissions and selective updating.
