Seller Insight “We moved here around 30 years ago, initially to leave the busy A38 behind, so we liked the sound of Failand which is a lovely, little, quiet village and only a 10-minute drive into the centre of Bristol. We’ve always liked bungalows and this one was detached with plenty of parking and was just ideal for us,” says Mike. “We’ve made a few changes since moving in, including the addition of the staircase which enabled us to create a bedroom upstairs and we utilised part of the garage space to add an en suite onto the bedroom downstairs.” “Failand is a nice, friendly village with a good sense of community. Everything is within walking distance including the Post Office and general store, the pub and the village hall which always has something going on. We’re not far from Nailsea which has numerous shops, restaurants and supermarkets, and, just off the M5, is the huge shopping centre, Cribbs Causeway. The Park and Ride is only a 5-minute drive away which is useful for shopping trips and commuting into Bristol for work.” “There’s always plenty to do throughout the year including the annual Balloon Festival held in the nearby beautiful Ashton Court Estate, and Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare are within a 30-minute drive.” “We like lots of flowers so we always have big pots of summer plants around the garden which add plenty of colour. As we’re right by the open countryside, we get lots of birds in the garden and it’s very peaceful and quiet. I’ve just had the garden re-lawned and it looks absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t believe the difference in just 3 weeks! It’s a big enough space to have a kickabout with the great grandchildren, although the games only last around 5 minutes or so as they have me huffing and puffing!”

Step inside 3 Sixty Acres Close
On the market for the first time in just over thirty years, is this three bedroom detached dormer bungalow. Set within the North Somerset village of Failand, the property is just over four miles back into the heart of Clifton Village but feels more like a million miles from anywhere, as Sixty Acres Close offers peace and quiet. Set within a nice sized plot and one of only ten similar designed bungalows, the property offers good accommodation currently but with the right architect and planning permission, the property could be totally transformed to create almost a different home, but still retaining that homely feel. As you pull up to the property, the first thing that strikes you is the enclosed and well-tended front garden. Upon entering the entrance porch you realise how light and bright it is, which is reflected throughout the whole property. The entrance porch has side aspect windows and a glass door into the entrance hall.The entrance hall gives you access to all the lower ground floor accommodation as well as stairs to the first floor dormer bedroom. The living accommodation consists of the triple aspect sitting room, fitted with double glazed windows, a half barrel bay to the rear. From each of these windows you are surrounded by greenery, a stone built feature fireplace and two single radiators. The kitchen/breakfast room is a double aspect room with double glazed windows and French doors leading onto the sun terrace, an ideal feature for alfresco dining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base units, roll top work surface, one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, electric hob
