A striking contemporary home with wonderfully light and versatile accommodation.

Description

Occupying a wonderful hillside position and designed to make the very most of the extensive far reaching views, the architect of this substantial and individual property managed to design a true statement home with great impact when viewed from the rear yet retaining a subtle and understated presence from the front, sitting very comfortably in its established residential surroundings.

With a south facing elevation and an expanse of glazing across the rear from which to take in the views, the accommodation is flooded with sunlight and with approaching 3000 sq ft of living space over three floors there is plenty of opportunity to vary the way in which the internal rooms may be used. Currently the home is enjoyed as a flexible space for a growing family with a garden level bedroom being used as a large home office and those that enjoy entertaining will certainly make great use of the large open plan middle floor which undoubtedly has a true wow factor.

Set at the head of this popular road, a driveway provides off road parking with a garage with electric retractable door. The entrance hall leads towards the impressive oak and metal spiral staircase, giving access to all floors with low level lighting and a glass dome roof. The majority of our buyers list large and informal kitchen//living space as their top priority and this huge area is certainly impressive, not least for the gently curved glazed wall that runs the entire 34’ width of the room, taking in the treetop views toward the Gordano Valley.

There is underfloor heating enhancing the sleek uncluttered design of the property and air-conditioning on the middle floor for the hottest of summer days. The elegant kitchen features an expanse of Corian work surface with a central and breakfast bar area. Stylish dark grey cabinets house an array of integrated appliances that include a dishwasher, fridge, wine fridge, two 'slide and hide' Neff ovens, microwave combination oven, warming drawer and a Neff induction hob. Also on this floor is a cloakroom and a separate utility room.

At garden level, there are three double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes with the two larger bedrooms sharing a very smart ensuite shower room and an additional bathroom. The larger of the rooms on this floor has patio doors leading onto the garden and there is also a lovely courtyard at this level.

On the top floor is a wonderful sitting room with bi-fold doors giving access to a large sweeping balcony, enclosed with glass balustrades. The principal bedroom is a stunning room with floor to ceiling windows fitted with plantation shutters with far reaching views over Portishead marina and beyond. There is a walk in wardrobe/dressing area and luxury ensuite with a contemporary oval bath and separate shower. A fifth bedroom on this floor could be used a home office or nursery if required.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to maximise the usage of all areas of the large and private space with a series of ‘outdoor rooms’ includes a decked entertaining terrace, a level area of lawn and well stocked mature borders with an extensive range of shrubs and ornamental trees.
