Summary - OLD FARM COTTAGE CLEVEDON LANE CLAPTON IN GORDANO BRISTOL BS20 7RH
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Generous plot, rural views, and outbuildings with annex potential.
Four bedrooms in a 17th-century semi-detached period cottage
A substantial period cottage set on about 0.37 acres, this four-bedroom home blends original character with practical family space. Exposed stone walls, inglenook fireplace and beams give genuine charm while a log burner and oil-fired boiler provide heating. The layout includes a cosy lounge, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, and a useful utility. There is one family bathroom and a small child’s bedroom, so families should note limited bathroom provision.
Externally the plot is a major asset: a gated driveway for several vehicles, a garage and a block of four outbuildings (former loose boxes) offer scope for storage, workshops or an annex subject to planning permission. The rear garden backs directly onto open fields and includes productive Somerset cider apple trees, creating a private, rural outlook and excellent outdoor space for children and dogs.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. The property has an E EPC, oil-fired heating and a private cesspool for drainage. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and walls are likely uninsulated (stone construction), so buyers should factor potential energy upgrade and drainage works into budgets. Council tax is described as expensive. Planning potential for an annex exists but would require formal approval.
This home suits a buyer seeking countryside character, outdoor space and future improvement potential — especially families wanting village life near Portishead and Bristol. It rewards sympathetic updating and offers scope to increase living flexibility if planning permission is secured.
