Description

A prime bay fronted family house, beautifully poised on the edge of Durdham Downs and with uninterrupted views over this significant green and pleasant space. The property stands within a sizeable plot with level walled gardens to both front and rear with good connectivity to the home. Extensively renovated some ten years ago, the property provides a versatile footprint and family home. There is scope for self containment to the lower ground floor for income or a dependant relative, whilst the principal home and it’s generous footprint caters well for families both young and old. Enjoying an East/West orientation, to the rear and front respectively, there is terrific solar gain and principal rooms and bedrooms are all bathed in natural light. Enhancements include the study room, catering well for home working, and the large garden store below.
Approached via a wide pedestrian path with wrought iron gate and arch, the front garden is ornamental , laid to lawn and enjoys a degree of privacy with the benefit of well stocked borders and a green curtilage. The porch and reception hall are the central axis to the principal rooms, bedrooms and lower ground floor. The drawing room enjoys a lovely vista with sweeping bay over the front elevation, there is a ceiling rose, cornice and picture rail. A feature fireplace is the focal point with ornate surround, cast and tiled inset. The kitchen/dining room is the heartbeat of the home, generous in scale with a central island and a breakfast bar. There are a range of wall and base units with a larder, there are polished granite work surfaces, a Rangemaster cooker and integrated white goods such as a dishwasher, freezer and fridge. There are five good sized bedrooms arranged over the first and top floors with elevated and varying views to both front and rear which take in the Downs and cityscape respectively. There is a sizeable family bathroom and two separate shower rooms to serve these.
The lower ground floor is versatile, can be self contained and yet is a useful extension to the home. A sitting room with bay overlooks the front elevation and this is presently a cinema room, AV equipment is available by separate negotiation. There are understairs storage cupboards, a shower room and a cloakroom. An auxiliary kitchen/utility lies to the back with a leisure room adjacent. Bifold doors open directly onto a covered terrace which extends into the garden. This has been imaginatively landscaped and displays a wide variety of colour throughout the seasons.
