A detached family house with beautiful and established gardens bordering the Bristol Golf Club.
A much loved family house, constructed in the 1950's and standing within established walled gardens. Longdown forms part of the Over Court development and borders the Bristol Golf Club. There have been some enhancements made during the lengthy tenure of the owners and these include double glazed windows, an oil fired central heating system and a neutral décor. Notwithstanding some modernisation is required and there is plenty of scope to extend (subject to the necessary planning consents). The property is constructed from traditional materials with rendered elevations under a pitched and tiled roof and there is good solar gain and advantageous views from windows which face South and West.
The property is approached via the reception hall with a double glazed front door, understairs cupboard and cloakroom. There is a rising dogleg staircase to the first floor. There are two principal rooms; the drawing room is dual aspect with a picture window to the front and sliding double glazed doors to the terrace and rear garden and there is a tiled fireplace. Adjacent is the dining room with a further picture window over the garden and a connecting door to the kitchen/breakfast room which includes a range of wall and base units and various integrated appliances. Beyond again is the large utility/boot room with additional stores and the boiler cupboard. This is half glazed and with a polypropylene roof and has a further door providing access to the garden.
The first floor features four bedrooms and these are served by a more recently installed shower room.
Of particular note and credit are the gardens. These have been beautifully laid out and heavily planted by the present owners and are well established and walled with a wide variety of native plants, shrubs and trees providing year round colour. Borders are rich and pungent with lavender, climbing roses and of note there are Acers, Palms and various Firs. Beech hedges provide privacy and screen a summer house whilst a deep well stocked border hides the wild garden and kitchen garden beyond. At the end of the garden is a useful greenhouse. There is gated entry with a gravelled drive for parking in addition to a garage.

A wonderful and much loved family house offering enormous potential and standing within a significant walled garden. There is plenty of opportunity and scope (subject to consents) and the garden is a joy to behold.
