- Premier village location moments from Clifton
- Beautiful south west facing garden
- Outdoor heated swimming pool
- No onward chain
A substantial six bedroom detached residence of some 5,000 square feet occupying a generous plot approaching half an acre in one of Bristols finest residential locations. Abbots House underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2011 to exacting standards and offers the perfect lifestyle blend of country living with views, yet being only a few minutes drive to Clifton, across the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. During the complete refurbishment and reconfiguration, careful thought was awarded towards the layout and way in which most prefer to live today, to include a fantastic kitchen/living/dining space with outside access and versatile accommodation to the ground floor. Outside the house has been finished with an attractive, traditional stone faade in keeping with the rural character of this highly regarded village lane. The house has a beautiful, south west facing garden with undulating lawns and terraces offering far reaching views complete with an outdoor heated swimming pool. Occupying an elevated position within the village, Abbots House has far reaching views to both aspects with the front looking over neighbouring farmland towards Leigh Woods in the east, and the aforementioned rear looking further afield across the Bristol Channel as far as the Welsh Hills on the horizon in the west.
It should be noted that this property is being sold with no onward chain and therefore available for early occupation as desired.
Summary Of Accommodation - This beautifully designed house attracts an abundance of natural light throughout, that floods into the generously proportioned rooms, all of which offer pleasing vistas. The carefully considered configuration and sheer scale allows many options for differing requirements with plenty of scope for a separate guest flat or annex if so desired. All six bedrooms are of double proportion and three of these are en-suite. Other notably desirable features include the aforementioned 241 x 23 (7.3 x 7m) kitchen/dining/living space with central granite topped island and French doors that open directly to the terrace, garden and pool, proving the perfect set up for al fresco entertainment. The ground floor has five additional reception rooms, including a bespoke conservatory, creating complete flexibility for different uses, whether working from home or seeking different spaces for entertainment or media for example. The front of the house is approached by an impressive carriage driveway, through two automated gateways, providing ample car parking, as well as access to an integral double size garage. In conclusion, this is a stunning, unusually spacious, family residence, situated in one of the most highly regarded residential addresses in the Bristol area.
Location - Abbots Leigh is regarded by many as one of the most sought after villages on the outskirts of the city, with its own church, public house, coffee shop and village hall all being within only quarter of a mile of the property. Clifton Village is situated approximately two miles away across the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and the city centre approximately three and a half miles. Junction 19 of the M5 gives access to the UK motorway network and can be found within four miles and Bristol International Airport around nine miles. A variety of beautiful walks including Abbots Pool and The Avon Gorge (a designated area of special scientific interest and natural beauty) are on offer quite literally from the doorstep. The area is particularly well served for schooling in both the state and private sectors.
Directions - Depart Bristol across the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge (£1 toll) on the B3129 as far as the traffic lights opposite the gates to Ashton Court. Turn right at these traffic lights onto the A369 towards Portishead. After about half a mile, carry straight on at the next set of traffic lights continuing on the A369. Again after about half a mile, observe The George public house on your left hand side. Turn right directly opposite The George, into Church Road. The entrance gates to the subject property within a high stone wall, can be found after about 120 meters on the left hand side, soon after passing the village hall.
