Property description
Designated a Conservation area in 1975, the village of Frenchay lies within easy reach of the M32, affording quick access to the centre of Bristol ( 5 miles ) and the main M4 / M5 motorway junctions ( 2 / 3 miles ). For those whose pleasure or work commitments require air or rail travel, Bristol Airport is circa 12.5 miles away and Bristol Parkway Station is within 3 miles drive, where services to London Paddington offer a c. 90 minute commute, almost every half hour; however, with Network Rail's promised completion of the Great Western route electrification in 2017, this journey time will reduce to around 80 minutes.With its primary school, magnificent St. John the Baptist Church, village hall, museum and annual Flower Show, Frenchay has a thriving local community, where you can enjoy activities and clubs ( tennis, golf driving range etc. ) with friends, or walking the dog with the family on the Local Common or through the wooded River Frome Valley. It even boasts its own concession to celebrity with Captain W.G. Grace, famous Victorian Cricketer, as the erstwhile captain of the village team.Lying to the rear of Frenchay Common on Pearces Hill, with splendid views overlooking the river, The Anchorage is as much a quiet haven of tranquillity as it is a satellite hub to reach the vibrant cities of Bristol and Bath (UNESCO World Heritage Centre) - and all main arterial routes to the South West, Wales, London and the North. Properties in the heart of Frenchay Village are limited in number and there are seldom many on the market at any one time in this ultra-desirable location. The property has undergone full refurbishment including re-roofing, re-wiring, installation of a mains pressure hot water system, LED lighting throughout, USB charging points, SMEG and AEG integrated appliances, granite kitchen and bathrooms, tiled and oak flooring and a range of designer features to offer a spacious and contemporary living environment.The Anchorage has a full south-facing aspect offering fantastic views, all day sunshine throughout the house, elevated gardens and all the rural peace, quiet and seclusion you could wish for - so close to the bright city lights and action."
