3 bedroom detached house for sale

A luxuriously appointed three bedroom detached residence offering pleasing westerly views and located in a popular and quiet country lane, only moments from Clifton, in the highly sought after village of Abbots Leigh.

Summary - Built in the late nineteen sixties on a carefully chosen, elevated plot of around a three quarters of an acre, Monks Bench enjoys far reaching westerly views towards the Bristol Channel. The extremely spacious principal accommodation is arranged over a single level proving to be an unusual configuration for this location and this might prove an attractive option for those seeking looking to adapt from living over multiple floors. Equally, one cannot ignore the fact that, like many houses in close proximity, some might wish to explore adding additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents of course. Approached through automated gates, the driveway leads down to a generous amount of car parking and allows access to integral under croft garaging that has direct access into the house. The lower floor accommodation includes and ensuite bedroom as well as additional basement storage that, in our opinion offers potential to create additional habitable accommodation on this level as desired.

Instructions for the sale is by order of executors for an estate therefore there is no onward chain. Buyers should note however that the sale will is subject to a grant of probate being issued.

Location - Manor Lane is an address held in particularly high regard owing to the fact it is flanked by open countryside and still retains a truly rural scene so close to the city. The neighbouring land provides a breath-taking outlook to both the front and rear of the property across adjoining gardens, farm and woodland. Abbots Leigh is regarded by many as one of the most sought-after villages on the outskirts of the city with its own picturesque church (pictured beneath), public house, café, gym and village field and hall all being within half a mile of the property. Clifton Village is situated approximately two miles away across Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s world-famous Suspension Bridge and the city centre is approximately three and a half miles distant.
