Churchill Sales & Lettings are delighted to be marketing this unique and well maintained apartment which is situated on the 2nd floor of the much sought after Sapphire Lodge. The apartment offers deceptively spacious accommodation throughout together with neutral décor and no forward chain.

The dual aspect Lounge is a lovely room which has ample space for living and dining room furniture and a feature electric fireplace with attractive surround.

The Kitchen, which is accessed via the Lounge, offers a range of contemporary eye and base level units with working surfaces over and tiled splashbacks. There is a built in fridge, freezer, waist height oven, 4-ring hob with extractor hood over and a washer/dryer.

Bedroom One is a generous room which has a useful built in wardrobe.

The Study, which was used as a bedroom but could also be used as a dining room, has ample space for a bed and furniture if required (Please see the comments from the seller below).

The shower room offers a curved glass shower cubicle, a WC and a wash hand basin with vanity unit.

Perfectly complementing this wonderful apartment are two storage cupboards which are located in the hallway.

The current owner and family wish to make any interested parties aware that the One Bedroom Apartment with (Study), was actually used for the last 2 years of occupation by the owner as a second bedroom for a 24/7 live in carer so the opportunity for this to be utilised in this way if required is of added value and will give the new owner that very real extra opportunity even if only used occasionally for family visits.

Sapphire Lodge is a stylish development of 30 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, ideally located for local shops with the Crown Glass shopping centre and all local amenities just a short walk away.

Nailsea is a thriving market town, which has a busy town centre, excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs and free parking. Renowned in the 18th and 19th centuries as a substantial producer of glassware due to the abundance of coal in the area, Nailsea is famous for its coloured glass, notably for its Bristol blue glass, from which Sapphire Lodge takes its name. This was and still is highly sought after by collectors around the World.

Nailsea is located just 8 miles from the centre of Bristol, a city which boasts some of the finest art galleries and theatres in Britain where you can enjoy everything from world class art collections to major west end productions. The city also has numerous attractions from the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge to the renowned Bristol Zoo, balloon and art festivals, regattas and food fairs. There is something for everyone.

Nailsea has excellent transport links and can be reached easily by both car and by train from Blackwell Railway station and it is only six miles to Bristol International Airport. Easy access to both the centre of Bristol, the Bristol Channel, the beautiful North Somerset countryside and Mendip Hills make Nailsea the ideal retirement location.
