Chelvey Batch, Brockley, Bristol, BS48

A wonderfully spacious and most individual country residence set in a prime elevated position with two self contained annexes and an impressive leisure spa with covered pool and sauna.

Description

This impressive individual home is set within fully enclosed grounds of circa three acres and perched high on the hillside with wonderful, far reaching Southerly aspects. Approached via a pair of impressive wrought iron gates opening to a smartly landscaped driveway with parking for eight or nine cars, the house is entered via double Mahogany doors leading through via the entrance porch to a large and welcoming central hallway.

The house was originally built in 1939 and retains much of the original features with a plethora of Oak finishes that include panelling, architrave and doors. The central hallway has double doors and windows to the rear with window seating and is a perfect place for taking in views across the rear terrace to the wooded hillsides beyond. The property offers wonderful flexibility with its large, well planned accommodation and is a perfect proposition for those seeking multi-generational living with the exceptional annexe cottage within the grounds. At one end of the property is the informal side entrance with plenty of space for storage and outdoor clothing with a utility/back kitchen set immediately off and door to the adjoining garage. A large kitchen/family room features marble work surfaces and space for formal dining with a relaxed seating area leading through to the conservatory beyond. The formal dining room also commands exceptional views from the wide bay window and links back through to the hallway with the beautiful formal drawing room set beyond. This triple aspect room is a relaxed and quiet area with a feature carved and decorative fireplace to one end with inset gas fire. A generous study overlooks the front grounds.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, three of which are en suite and a family bathroom. On the ground floor is a superb, self-contained one bedroom apartment which would provide exceptional accommodation for a dependant family member and certainly enjoys some of the finest aspects of the property. At present, this is laid out with a double bedroom, en suite and sitting room and the aforementioned back kitchen/utility could be offered to this apartment as its own private area.

The grounds that sweep around the property are very special indeed, having been beautifully tendered over the owners many years of ownership. A wide expanse of lawns sweep up beyond the property with deep set mature shrub borders running around the perimeter. The sunny rear terrace with large family eating area and balustrade border continues with a landscaped pathway winding around the substantial, detached annexed pool house. This is a wonderful, individual home with a huge open plan kitchen/living area with bifold doors on three sides and a very smart, built in kitchen with granite work surfaces, induction hob and Seimens integrated oven. There are two bedrooms, one with en suite cloakroom and a family bathroom. Immediately to the front of the pool house is a sheltered dining area with a small flight of steps leading up to the Spa area with covered hot tub, a sauna and a covered heated pool. A further small annexe lies beyond the second conservatory and offers one bedroom accommodation for those seeking to generate income from AirBNB or equally suitable as a detached home office.
