Description
Set on the outskirts of Bristol city centre, Hanham Common is a peaceful and aspired location that exudes a feeling of open space and greenery, an attribute so often lacking in many of the city’s suburban enclaves.
This development of 3 and 4 bedroom homes is perfect for those looking to upsize to a larger property, be it to start a family or simply for more space and room to grow. Furthermore, those downsizing from a larger family home will also appreciate the low maintenance aspects of the development and a new blank canvas from which to inspire.
There are a range of house sizes and styles, from detached to mews properties and this chance to buy a brand new home, which will be fundamentally energy efficient and cheaper to run compared to older properties nearby, will mean that many local people will love the chance to stay in this popular location.
The homes enjoy a traditional external design, with varied materials, rooflines and site levels for a more established feel. There is also a Home Zone that promotes road safety, so slowing traffic and allowing for easier pedestrian or cyclist access. Internally, like all Crest Nicholson homes, the specification is high, with modern fitted appliances designed for life.
The kitchen is the hub of the home and as such, the majority of the houses at Hanham Place have kitchen/dining areas, some making the perfect place to entertain or simply enjoy and promote family life. Other homes have feature bay windows, large areas of glass to maximise natural light into the living areas, as well as other details like a Juliette balcony off the master bedroom or an integrated garage, which could be used for extra storage.
The homes also benefit from double doors that open onto the rear garden so providing extra living space.
Hanham Common is seen as a great place to put down roots and what better place than Hanham Place.
Specification
The Finer Details
In addition to a comprehensive specification, Crest Nicholson will enable you to personalise your new home with a choice of kitchens, flooring and tiling. Please discuss your requirements with the Sales Advisor who, subject to the stage of construction, will be able to help and advise you.
Kitchen and Utility Room
The quality fitted kitchens are designed for practicality with plenty of storage space to the wall units, which themselves have concealed stainless steel triangular low energy lighting to the underside to shed light on the sleek worktop and prep areas exactly where you need it.
The kitchen theatre incorporates an A-rated single electric oven with four ring gas hob and an integrated three speed extractor fan from Bosch, all in a brushed steel finish to the Huntingdon, Hampshire and Hickstead housetypes. All other homes at Hanham Place feature a larger A-rated double electric oven, as well as a stainless steel splashback in between the hob and hood.
The larger four bedroom homes come complete with an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst there is space allowed for a washer/dryer or space for a washing machine and tumble dryer if the home has a utility room.
The three bedroom homes have space for a fridge/freezer and washer/dryer, as well as space for a dishwasher.
All properties have pull out recycling bins to one kitchen base unit to promote recycling, whilst there is a 1 ½ bowl, stainless steel sink with mixer tap and single bowl sink to utility rooms where applicable.
The kitchens are finished with Spacia flooring from Amtico to the four bedroom homes and vinyl flooring to three bedroom houses.
Bathrooms and En Suites
The contemporary white bathroom suites are the perfect place in which to relax. There is full height tiling around three sides of the bath and within the shower enclosure, whilst the shower screen and shower enclosure are both clear and unprinted.
There is a Heated chrome towel rail to each bathroom and en suite and the white suite is off-set by a thermostatic bath/ shower mixer in chrome, as well as a chrome mixer tap to the sink. Furthermore, the toilet cistern is concealed and has a dual flush button for water efficiency, whilst all taps are aerated for added water efficiency.
The bathrooms and en suites to the four bedroom homes have Spacia flooring from Amtico, whilst there is vinyl flooring to the three bedroom houses.
Internal finishes
Like every Crest Nicholson home, the internal finish and attention to detail is of paramount importance. All internal doors have oak effect with chrome ironmongery whilst skirtings, architraves and ceilings are painted white and walls are in Dulux Gardenia for a contemporary feel. The balustrades to the staircase are in white with an oak handrail and newel cap finished in a clear satin varnish.
Fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom to the four bedroom homes only.
Heating and hot water
Each property is heated by an energy efficient gas fired Potterton condensing boiler with radiators with individual thermostats to each, excluding the hall.
The homes all enjoy high levels of wall and roof insulation to reduce CO2 emissions and energy bills.
Electrical
The homes at Hanham Place are functional, designed for life with plugs and sockets where you need them including a light to the loft and power and lights to the garage where applicable.
The bathrooms, en suites and cloakrooms have batten lighting, whilst all other rooms have pendant sets, except the low energy downlighters to the kitchen in the four bedroom homes.
There are TV/FM and Sky+ outlets to the living room and bedroom 1, as well as BT points to the hall, living room and bedroom 1. Each bathroom and en suite has a shaver socket, whilst the multi-vent system is designed to extract air from these rooms to avoid moisture build up.
For peace of mind, mains operated smoke/heat detectors are fitted with battery back up, as well as a carbon monoxide detector and externally there is a low energy security light with a motion detector to the front door.
External finishes
All external windows and doors are in white PVCu with multi-point locking. The front gardens are laid to lawn, whilst an external tap and a water butt are provided.
Each home comes complete with a 10 year NHBC warranty against structural defects, you will receive the support from our customer care team for the first 2 years and a 6 month maintenance check is carried out by our own After Sales Team. Each property is thoroughly inspected before being handed over to its owner and advice is provided on the best way to look after the property in the future.
Leisure facilities
If you like a quiet drink in historic surroundings, the nearby Blue Bowl Inn is reputed to be one of the oldest pubs in Britain and played host to Oliver Cromwell.
The development’s location close to Hanham Cricket and Tennis Club make for a greener outlook, whilst Hanham Common itself is opposite the scheme.
If you enjoy the great outdoors, Hanham Hills and Hanham Lock provide some lovely footpaths and towpaths to explore, whilst nearby Hanham Court also demonstrates the great indoors, as this unexpectedly rural Manor house, a Monastic foundation with 13th century Church and Tithe barn, is found at the end of a tiny lane among fields. The walled garden is a sight to behold and the eclectic interiors are also an Aladdin’s cave of visual riches.
Local shopping
Hanham’s High Street has a range of local independent shops including a supermarket, whilst there is also a small parade of shops opposite the development itself.
Retail therapy can be sought in Bristol’s Broadmead Shopping centre, the Cabot Circus, the Galleries or at Cribbs Causeway – the choice knows no bounds.
There are also retail outlets, restaurants and an Asda superstore at nearby Longwell Green.
Schools and education
Families will be well served as there are three local infant and primary schools within the area with Hanham Abbots Junior School being the closest.
Hanham High School is just half a mile from the development and is considered to be one of the better schools in Bristol, being rated as “good with outstanding features” by OFSTED’s last inspection.
Nearest schools:
- Christ Church Hanham CofE Primary School (0.2 miles)
- Hanham High School - Secondary (0.2 miles)
- Samuel White's Infant School - Primary (0.4 miles)
Transport links
The development is opposite a bus stop for a service that links to the city, whilst for those who drive, the M32 and M4 are also within just ten minutes, so making access to Swindon, Reading and the M5 beyond an easy option as well.
Distances and times are approximate.
