Outstanding panoramic views from this delightful chalet bungalow with an exceptional garden.

Description

Tucked back from the road at the head of a sweeping driveway, this appealing property is believed to date from the 1930’s and occupies a generous plot on one of Almondsbury’s most sought after roads. There are a good range of local amenities in Almondsbury Village and the property is perfectly placed for swift access to the motorway network and Bristol city centre. The current owners have enjoyed their lovely garden and during the course of their 30 year ownership, the grounds have been extensively planted with a wide range of flowering plants, shrubs and trees and a backdrop with a choice of areas to sit and relax and enjoy the wonderful outlook.
A wide forecourt to the front of the house provides parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the adjacent garage. The front door opens to the hallway, leading through to a good sized, bright sitting room with a wide picture window with extensive views across the rear garden to the Severn Estuary with the Welsh hillside beyond. Opposite the sitting room is a good sized dining room with a bay window to the front and a kitchen, fitted with a range of storage cabinets, six burner gas hob and twin AEG stainless steel oven. The kitchen leads to a very useful covered side passage with a door into the garage and with a workshop to the rear. Set beyond this is the laundry room with plenty of space for washing and drying appliances and fridge freezer and also housing the gardener’s WC. A ground floor family bathroom is located off the hallway, serving the two double bedrooms on this level. A third bedroom is set off the first floor landing, with magnificent views of the Severn Bridge and beyond. There is a further occasional bedroom which currently provides a wonderful space for storage or childrens’ play area. Part of the landing area is used as an open study area and this could be enclosed to create a further bedroom space if so desired. The bathroom on this floor features a large corner bath with shower over.
The garden is certainly a very special feature of this lovely home and may be accessed either from the side of the house or from a small flight of steps set off the sitting room. A suntrap terrace leads past gravelled beds with an ornamental fish pond, two summerhouses and a lower seating area, sheltered from the prevailing wind. The lawn sweeps gently down the hillside beyond a beautifully planted central bed to an additional small wildlife pond and mature apple trees. Given the size of the grounds and the popularity of this location, it is feasible that any subsequent buyer may choose to remodel or extend the house, subject to planning permission being granted.
