Backwell House is an imposing, newly refurbished Georgian estate set within approximately 18 acres of manicured gardens, paddocks and woodland. Approached by a sweeping circular drive, the property combines grand period proportions — high ceilings, large reception rooms and formal landscaping — with modern finishes from a comprehensive refurbishment. The house sits about a 15-minute drive from Clifton, Bristol, giving a rare blend of country privacy and convenient city access.
The main house has been fully renovated to contemporary standards while retaining stately character, making it immediately habitable as a prestigious family home or executive country residence. Grounds include formal gardens, paddocks, a modest swimming pool, traditional greenhouse and multiple outbuildings that present scope for stabling, workshops or leisure uses. Three estate cottages and further outbuildings are available by separate negotiation, offering potential for additional accommodation or income streams.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold with no flood risk and sits in a low-crime, affluent area served by good local schools (including an Outstanding primary and Good secondaries). Mobile and broadband speeds are average for a rural location, and the scale of the estate means ongoing grounds maintenance and running costs will be significant. Notably, the listed bedroom and bathroom count is one each for the principal unit as supplied — buyers should confirm accommodation layout and cottage availability if additional bedrooms are required.
This estate will suit a buyer seeking a majestic, move-in-ready Georgian mansion with extensive land, privacy and opportunity for ancillary use. It offers a rare chance to own a substantial country house within easy reach of Bristol, though commitment to long-term upkeep and clarity on the total habitable accommodation are essential before purchase.
