Living Space - An impressive reception hall sets the tone on arrival, offering a gracious and elegant introduction to the house before unfolding into the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that forms the undeniable heart of the home. Designed with both scale and atmosphere in mind, this remarkable room is perfectly suited to modern family life and sophisticated entertaining alike, marrying characterful features with contemporary finishes of the highest order. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed, with an extensive range of integrated appliances, a wine refrigerator, pantry and a substantial central island with breakfast seating, creating a space that is as functional as it is striking. French doors open onto a charming courtyard terrace, an idyllic and sheltered spot for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Beyond, the principal sitting area opens onto a generous balcony, perfectly positioned to embrace the breathtaking coastal outlook. Framed by mature pine trees, this elevated vantage point offers a spectacular setting from which to enjoy the ever-changing scenery and mesmerising sunsets across Layde Bay. The dining area is equally captivating, arranged around an original stone mantel with inset log burner, which lends warmth, texture and a wonderful sense of heritage. A discreetly integrated study area has been cleverly incorporated, providing practical workspace without detracting from the room’s exceptional aesthetic.
A sculptural staircase rises through the house, enhancing the sense of architectural flow and drawing natural light through the various levels with striking effect.
Acommodation - On the lower ground floor, a well-appointed utility room is complemented by a substantial bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes and a sleek contemporary shower room. French doors open directly onto a private patio terrace, creating a wonderfully self-contained space for guests, extended family or independent accommodation.
The upper floor hosts two further generous double bedrooms, one of which enjoys captivating sea and garden views. These rooms are served by a beautifully designed Jack and Jill bathroom, exquisitely finished with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower enclosure and twin wash basins, creating a space of both style and indulgence.
A fourth bedroom occupies a more private section of the house and is distinguished by its lofty ceiling, direct access to the garden and an elevated sitting area that adds both character and versatility. A stylish shower room off the main hall serves this area, making it ideally suited to visiting guests, multigenerational living or those seeking a degree of independence within the home.
Outside - Outside, the gardens have been professionally landscaped to create a series of beautifully arranged and highly usable spaces, designed for both privacy and entertaining. A substantial outbuilding offers excellent versatility as a home office, studio or summerhouse, complete with heating, power and internet connectivity. A raised decked terrace further enhances the outdoor lifestyle appeal, providing an inviting setting for al fresco dining and relaxed summer evenings.
Approached via a discreet private road, the property also benefits from off-street parking for two to three vehicles, together with a larger-than-average garage. Old School House represents a rare and compelling fusion of architectural heritage, coastal beauty and contemporary luxury. With its exquisitely designed interiors, privileged setting close to Clevedon Golf Club and spectacular outlook across Layde Bay, it is a home of remarkable quality and undeniable presence.

"What The Owner Says" - "Ever disagreed over whether you want an old property with character or the simplicity and flexibility of modern day living with a new house?” asks the current owner of 17a Edgehill Road. “Well, you get both here. Blending the old and the new, this is essentially a contemporary home but with the soul and character of a period property."
