Sheldrake is an individual detached contemporary style home which has been created over the past 20 years or so by the current owners who renovated and augmented a 1980's built property into the superb home that exists today.
The combination of grey rendered elevations with powder coated aluminium windows, cedar wood cladding and a slate roof creates an attractive visual for the property matched by its superb location on Mead Lane, well above the river and enjoying superb riverside views across open countryside towards Kelston Roundhill.
The internal accommodation is inverted such that the main living accommodation is on the upper floor taking full advantage of the views. The large kitchen/dining room is beautifully appointed and has a gable end which is fully glazed with stunning views. The kitchen and the living room have access to a large balcony which again takes advantage of the outlook.
There is a utility room on the ground floor and four double bedrooms (two on each level) with the master bedroom on the ground floor enjoying fine views with an en suite dressing room and shower room. There is a further double bedroom on the ground floor served by a family shower room while the two bedrooms at first floor level each have their own en suite facilities.
On the outside the property enjoys a good size terraced plot with electric gates leading from Mead Lane to a cerney gravelled parking and turning area adjacent to which is a double width car port. The front garden is walled and landscaped for ease of maintenance.
The rear garden is formed in three terraces, an attractive sheltered courtyard immediately to the rear of the property beyond which is a paved sun terrace providing an ideal area for outdoor entertaining. Steps then lead to a large timber decked terrace from which superb uninterrupted views of the river and surrounding countryside can be enjoyed.
