DESCRIPTION

We have noticed ... My vendors have cleverly organised a set of outline plans for purchasers to look at, who might be interested in adding further accommodation. This will be made available on viewings for inspection.
An ideal property for a growing family, number 5 is tucked away in this lovely village, whilst being in walking distance to amenities and the local primary school. The property has been loved by the current owners who have brought their own children up here and now after 37 years have decided that now is the time to downsize to something a bit smaller. Thus, leaving the next chapter to begin for the next purchasers.

SITUATION

Shipham is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a highly sought after village, nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside. It is well served by first, middle and senior schools and is much sought after by those commuting to Bristol, as it offers all the advantages of rural living with many bridleways and footpaths, including the West Mendip Way which crosses the parish providing ready access to the hills and Mendip plateau, where there are extensive views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coast and Brecon Beacons beyond. Indeed, it is very well positioned for local transport links and the M5 motorway which is accessible via junction 20 at Clevedon, junction 21 at St Georges and junction 22 at Edithmead. Village facilities are available, including butcher/stores, garage, public house and further shopping facilities at nearby Winscombe and Cheddar. The new village hall (with its stage, sports hall, function rooms and kitchen) is a popular centre for a broad range of community events and activities for all ages. Private sector schooling is close by at Sidcot and the Downs School at Wraxall is within easy reach, as are Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. In the state sector, Kings of Wessex School (www.kowessex.co.uk) is nearby and for sports and recreational amenities, Churchill Academy is a drive away. The surrounding area is excellent riding country and is sure to appeal to equestrian enthusiasts and walkers. There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to the mainline railway station at Yatton.
Comprising a gorgeous contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar, integrated dishwasher and ceramic sink, a light, bright and stunningly presented sitting room, with feature log burner for cosy nights in and doors leading directly out into the private sunny south facing garden. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, a modern bathroom and space for potential to add an ensuite. Whilst downstairs there is a real treat, through the sitting room a door leads to the study where over the garage we are shown to a "den" space, which is ideal for the younger members of the family to play on their consoles, be studious or indeed just take a time out.

The outside space is private and benefits from being south facing. The current owners have clearly loved gardening and there are loads of examples of a well maintained green space with areas of sit and bask in the heat. The entire house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, loads of storage, garage and a driveway.

DIRECTIONS

Coming into the village of Shipham from the A38, go past the primary school on your right and take the first right hand turn into Sycamore Close, number 5 can be found on the left hand side.

ENTRANCE HALL

Our vendor says ... We fell in love with Shipham; the area was perfect for bringing up our children. The local primary school is just around the corner so we never had to get in the car and Kings of Wessex in Cheddar is an outstanding school for further education. We have genuinely loved living here and a part of us will be really sad leaving but it's the right time. Another family needs the space, and should enjoy growing here!

  • Repeated Dye Traces of Underground Streams in the Mendip Hills, Somerset

    Repeated Dye Traces of Underground Streams in the Mendip Hills, Somerset

    47 Proc. Univ., Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1981. 16 (1). 47-58 REPEATED DYE TRACES OF UNDERGROUND STREAMS IN THE MENDIP HILLS. SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON and P. L. SMART ABSTRACT Three underground streams were dye traced as many as twenty-four times, at various Hows between the extremes of Hood and drought. This systematic study, the first of its kind to our knowledge, has shown that: 1. Travel time (the time between input of dye at the swallet and its first arrival at the resurgence) is inversely proportional (1:1) to mean resurgence outpul over the same period. This is characteristic of simple phreatie streams, which should be distinguishable using graphic analysis from vadose and complex phrcatic streams. 2. Rhodamine WT dye. the most stable of the common fluorescent dyes, Ls progress ively lost, to a significant and unpredictable extent, in transit from swallci to resurgence. Successful tracing therefore requires more dye at low flows than at high flows. BACKGROUND Water tracing in the Mendip caves has a long and distinguished history (Barrington and Stanton 1977, 209-213). The early experimenters, beginning at Wookey Hole Cave (ST 532.480) in 1860, used chaff, dyes or coloured powders, hoping for results visible to the naked eye. The modern phase of water tracing began in 1965 using the spores of a moss, Lycopodium clavatum, which were flushed down the swallets and caught at the resurgences in plankton nets. For the first time the tracing agent could not be detected by the unaided senses, and some attempt at quantitative analysis of results could be made (Atkinson, Drew and High 1967; Drew, Newson and Smith 1968).

The proposals were designed to replace existing and outdated by-laws (in many cases not changing their current status) and in conjunction with the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005. Prior to the consultation beginning, our Environmental Protection Officers met with local Town and Parish Councils to discuss what measures they would like to be suggested which is reflected in the proposals that were put forward. Areas involved Banwell, Recreation Grounds Portbury, Ponds Banwell, Scout Hut and Children’s Centre Portishead, Brampton Way Play Area Bleadon, Allotments Portishead, Marina Bleadon, Village Cross Area Redhill, Christchurch Churchyard Cleeve, King George V Playing Field Weston-super-Mare, St Georges Village Play Clevedon, Coleridge Vale Playing Fields Area Clevedon, Promenade Tickenham, Village Hall Field Felton, Vee Lane Playing Fields Weston-super-Mare, Clarence Park West Hutton, Phippen Park Weston-super-Mare, Promenade Locking, Village Allotments Winscombe, Longfield RFC Nailsea, Engine Lane Winscombe, War Memorial Recreation Ground Nailsea, Fryth Way Wrington, Glebe Field Nailsea, Greenfield Crescent Nailsea, Grove Playing Fields Your opinion In total 606 individual responses were received regarding the consultation. As each respondent could comment on more than one dog control order, there were 826 responses over all. Responses were captured through an online survey as well as through letters, emails, telephone calls, eConsult and petitions. To all that responded – thank you. Your comments will be taken into consideration when a decision is made later this year as to whether to implement the orders or make modifications.

  • Breeding Birds of the Strawberry Line (Vale of Winscombe Section)

    Breeding Birds of the Strawberry Line (Vale of Winscombe Section)

    BREEDING BIRDS OF THE STRAWBERRY LINE (VALE OF WINSCOMBE SECTION) By Dr. Lincoln Garland Introduction The Strawberry Line, or Cheddar Valley Railway Line, is a footpath/cycleway extending for 10 miles along a dismantled railway corridor between Yatton and Cheddar in North Somerset. It is deeply cherished by neighbouring communities and I am very fortunate to have lived alongside it for the last six years. Over this time, I have become increasingly familiar with its natural seasonal rhythms, including those of its birdlife, which are the subject of this article. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to make use of my permissible daily exercise to record the distribution of the breeding birds on my particular ‘patch’ of the Strawberry Line - the Vale of Winscombe section. This stretch of the Strawberry Line breaches the picturesque Mendip Hills between Sandford Station and Shute Shelve Tunnel, passing through the village of Winscombe halfway across (Figure 1). I was partly inspired into action by what I perceived to be a particularly high abundance of birdlife along the Strawberry Line in contrast with neighbouring relatively intensively managed farmland and even compared with some local Ancient woodlands, where birdsong often seems conspicuous by its absence. As a consequence of the lockdown and associated reduction in noise pollution, multiple media stories have described how the pace of life slowed for many people, who in turn became increasingly cognizant of their natural surroundings, and in particular of birdsong and the psychologically healing (biophilic) effect that nature’s soundscape can have. In telling the story of the Strawberry Line’s birdlife I hope that I can provide an added layer of interest for locals and visitors, which might also help in these difficult times deliver an enhanced dose of Vitamin N or Nature’s Fix, to borrow the biophilic terminology of Richard Louv (2017) and Florence Williams (2017) respectively.
