A well-positioned detached house with mature west-facing gardens adjoining the Downs and Botanic Garden.
Greystones is an appealing modern detached house, quietly positioned along Hollybush Lane and set on the edge of Durdham Downs. The property has been in the same ownership for many years and has been well maintained, offering balanced accommodation arranged over two floors.
The house is centred around a generous reception hall with a staircase rising to the first floor. The principal rooms lead directly from this space and include a study, providing a practical work-from-home environment. The drawing room and dining room are arranged in an open-plan layout, well-proportioned and featuring a fireplace within the drawing area. Double doors lead through to a conservatory overlooking and opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of base and wall units, with integrated appliances and space for informal dining. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, a galleried landing provides access to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes a oriel window to the front elevation, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. The second and third bedrooms both benefit from fitted storage and en suite facilities with a further bedroom served by a family bathroom.
Externally, the property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking and access to the integral double garage. The rear garden is a notable feature, facing west and thoughtfully landscaped with a sweeping lawn, mature planting, and established borders. Pathways lead through the garden, which includes a pond and terraces for outdoor seating. At the far end there is a substantial timber summer house. The garden backs onto the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, contributing to the sense of privacy.

I particularly like the position of this house, set quietly on the edge of the Downs while still being within reach of the city. The west-facing garden and its direct backdrop onto the Botanic Garden create a wonderful sense of space and privacy that is rarely found in such a central location.
