An elegant, secluded country home set on a substantial plot at Backwell Common, Meadow Lodge combines period-inspired stonework with comfortable modern living. The house sits behind a gated driveway and enjoys panoramic Green Belt views, extensive manicured lawns, a sun terrace and a detached two-bedroom cottage — ideal for guests or rental income.
Interior space is generous and flexible: a superb 7m kitchen/dining room with bifold doors to the terrace, a drawing room with carved stone fireplace, an independent garden office/gym, and a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and balcony. The house benefits from double glazing and underfloor heating and was constructed to high standards in the 2000s, offering an impressive balance of character and contemporary comfort.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via a boiler with radiators, the EPC is grade C, and broadband speeds in the immediate area are very slow—important for home-workers who rely on fast internet. Council tax is described as expensive. The property is freehold, has ample off-street parking including a car barn, and lies close to Backwell and Nailsea stations for rail links to Bristol.
This property suits buyers seeking a private, substantial family home in a highly desirable, affluent setting — or those looking for a main residence with separate cottage revenue potential. The plot, historic well feature and thoughtfully planted gardens give this house long-term appeal, but purchasers should account for ongoing running costs and the broadband limitation.
