Property description
A rare and special residence standing in circa 1.8 acres. A quite exceptional & impressive circa 7,000 sq ft family house more than capable, if required, of comfortably accommodating two households, in informal east and west wings. In a wonderful setting amidst beautiful gardens and grounds with a prime location on the outskirts of Abbots Leigh village yet within just 1.5 miles, 2 miles and 4.5 miles respectively of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Village and the city centre. A superb property with still further exciting potential.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This already magnificent residence offers abundant flexibility and potential for further future enhancement to suit individual requirements and has the scope and space for a wide range of indoor and outdoor family activities and interests. The property is conveniently and privately situated behind trees and high hedges and fences approached via a partly shared private drive that currently accesses the imposing rear façade of the house. Originally built circa 1933, the property retains character and a wonderful feeling of light and space with a warm comfortable atmosphere. The very generous accommodation is over two main floors and can easily accommodate two households in informally arranged east and west wings. In addition there is a very extensive full height 61ft long attic floor providing all kinds of inviting possibilities. All 5 reception rooms overlook the gardens and grounds at the front of the house. There are mainly sash windows to the main rooms. The superb triple aspect bay windowed drawing room has fine decorative ceiling mouldings and wall panels and an impressive Minster stone fireplace. There are also fireplaces in the ante room/sitting room and dining room, whilst ceiling mouldings also adorn what was a regal sized reception hall that has since been rearranged as an ante room/sitting room and the current entrance hall. The main kitchen/breakfast room interconnects with a family room/snug and is next to a range of domestic offices including a second kitchen/utility room. The 7 bedrooms upstairs and spectacular attic floor simply emphasize the amount of accommodation provided. The stunning garden & grounds perfectly complement this outstanding house. Truly a haven from city life on Bristol's sought after western countryside fringes, yet close to all its facilities and amenities.
