Cosmopolitan coastal living in Clevedon
While Bristol’s popularity is well established, it was actually neighbouring North Somerset which was among the top 10 areas with the biggest net inflow in the last decade, according to recent ONS figures. Clevedon, one of North Somerset’s prettiest seaside towns, has been experiencing a revival, as people are looking to be close to the city while enjoying an idyllic coastal lifestyle. Ideally situated just minutes from the picturesque seafront, buyers have been snapping up homes at Hall Garden on the Clevedon Hall Estate, a new development by Spitfire Bespoke Homes.
Hall Garden is a contemporary collection of two and three-bedroom houses, set within the beautiful grounds of the renowned Grade II listed Clevedon Hall. Marrying cutting edge architecture with a mature country setting, the homes respect their surroundings while remaining uncompromisingly current.
Nestled within green hills and wooded valleys, yet just 14 miles from Bristol city centre, Clevedon is perfect for those in search of the best of both worlds. It was once popular with Victorian holidaymakers, with Clevedon pier offering such spectacular views across the Severn Estuary that it was named the most beautiful in England by Sir John Betjeman. Today, Clevedon is a cosmopolitan town that has been dubbed “Bristol-on-Sea”, owing to its charming mix of boutiques, artisan bakeries, and independent cafés and restaurants.
Richard Page, Sales & Marketing Director of Spitfire Bespoke Homes, comments: “Clevedon’s beautiful scenery, excellent amenities and proximity to Bristol make it a great choice for anyone looking for the perfect balance between coastal living and city life. The elegant, striking homes at Clevedon Hall Estate are just a few minutes’ walk from the seafront, and have been proving extremely popular with downsizers and first-time buyers alike.”
Clevedon Hall Estate draws inspiration from Northern European and Scandinavian design, with an emphasis on space and light and a luxurious, minimalist finish. The spacious ground floor of the three-bedroom Brandon house design has an open-plan living and dining area, with aluminium bi-fold doors that open onto the garden and underfloor heating. The bespoke kitchen features quartz worktops, stylish glass splashbacks, and a range of integrated appliances, while natural wood details add warmth.
On the first floor, the Brandon’s well-proportioned master bedroom boasts fully-fitted wardrobes, a private balcony, and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes, and shares the contemporary family bathroom with the third bedroom. All of the bathrooms feature modern white sanitaryware by Villroy and Boch and high-quality chrome fittings by Hansgrohe.
Spitfire will also be building Bay Green on the Clevedon Hall Estate, with four and five-bedroom houses coming to market in 2017.
Clevedon is a serene town suited for modern living, with an outstanding variety of independent shops, several larger supermarkets, and an array of cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs. It is also home to the Curzon Community Cinema, one of the oldest cinemas in the world, while Clevedon Sailing Club hosts regular races and regattas on the Bristol Channel and Marine Lake. Nearby Bristol offers unparallelled culture, shopping and nightlife, with the bohemian Clifton Village and Quayside only a 30-minute drive away.
