About this property

  • Originally built in the 1960s and significantly remodelled by the current owners in 2015, this substantial detached family home occupies a particularly generous plot and is located in one of the area's most sought-after residential roads.
    Approached via a long private driveway with parking for a number of vehicles, the property occupies an elevated plot with views over rooftops to the front toward the Severn Estuary and the Welsh hills beyond. To the rear, the gardens back onto a private paddock providing a delightful rural outlook – a true country feel, yet just 2.7 miles from vibrant Clifton and 3.8 miles to the city centre!

    A welcoming entrance hall features oak flooring that runs throughout the majority of the ground floor with a glazed door opening to the L-shaped kitchen dining room with a dual aspect overlooking both front and rear gardens. The kitchen features a wide array of built-in storage cabinets running the full width of the room and include a Rangemaster stove, an integrated dishwasher and refrigeration and freezer units. Set off the kitchen, there is a lovely sitting room which was added as a new extended wing with wide bifold doors opening to a large sandstone terrace, perfect for outdoor dining. A fine country aspect is to be enjoyed across the garden to the adjacent fields. A contemporary woodburning stove creates a stylish focal point to the room which enjoys a wonderful amount of natural sunlight. A good size utility room at the far end of the property again has a good amount of built-in storage with space for built-in washing appliances and a substantial pantry cupboard.

    A doorway from the utility leads to an enclosed lobby providing a link to both front and rear with a walk in garden store and internal access to the garage. The ground floor study has a window overlooking the front garden and is a good vantage point for noting the arrival of visitors to the property. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the principal bedroom being an exceptional private suite with a wonderful high vaulted ceiling, a large en suite shower room and plenty of space for fitted wardrobes.

    Without doubt, the garden is an exceptional feature of this property, professionally landscaped and planted for year round colour making the very most of the wide and sunny plot. From the rear terrace, three gentle steps lead up to the neatly shaped lawn, surrounded by deep-set borders. Mature flowering shrubs are interspersed with a number of ornamental trees and a timber pergola runs the full width of the house with climbers strategically planted to create dappled shade during the summer months. In addition to two useful potting sheds, there is a superb timber cabin set in one corner of the garden, currently a summerhouse and restful garden retreat but offering an alternative home office if so desired. To the front, there is a large area of gravelled terrace with curved stone steps leading down to a wide expanse of lawn bounded by a low wall with brick piers to either side of the entrance drive.

I was struck with how well this home has been remodelled and extended to make the very best of its lovely sunny orientation and delightful rural aspect.
