Cleeve Hill, Downend

“We have absolutely loved living here, creating a home that works for all occasions…family life, hosting friends, big family gatherings, cosy nights in front of the TV, working from home, it does it all. Downend is a wonderful supportive community; we are on the doorstep of everything you could possibly need, countryside walks, parks, pubs, all the local amenities. I hope the new owners are as happy here as we have been.”

Cleeve Hill is located in Downend, a favourite area for Bristol families. The area has been extremely popular with residents for its quiet, community feel and fantastic local high street amenities as well as accessibility to the rapidly improving Fishponds Staple Hill High Streets, including Snuffy Jack’s micropub and FED. The area hugely benefits from several fantastic green spaces, like Frenchay Common, Oldbury Court Estate, Snuff Mills, Page Park and Stoke Park, all within easy access. For commuters, the area is also very well placed, just a short journey from the City Centre and several major employers in Filton Abbey Wood, Patchway and Aztec West, with several bus and cycle routes available, including the Bristol to Bath path which runs adjacent to the house. The area is also popular with families for having several well-regarded schools in the vicinity.

A truly impressive Edwardian home of great stature and size, sitting at the top of Cleeve Hill, oozing quality and style in every sense. Thoughtful but meticulous design has been at the forefront of the renovation, which begins in a grand hallway, with herringbone style flooring running underfoot. The focal point of the home is the contemporary kitchen/dining area, which has been completely knocked through to benefit from a seating area too. The soft colour choices expertly contrast with each other, especially the herringbone karndean flooring with the beige cupboards. A breakfast bar is provided, along with a wine fridge and integrated appliances, like a dishwasher and washing machine. The front reception room supremely matches the standard of the room adjacent, boasting a substantial squared bay, ceiling decoration, boldly decorated alcoves and chimney breast. Located off of the kitchen, and where the garage is seemingly located, the sellers have transformed the space into a remarkable home salon. A versatile room, which could further bed used as a home office, family room or bedroom. Next is the picturesque garden, offering a significant amount of privacy and facing in a south westerly direction, ideal for maximum sunlight. The garden begins with a spacious patio, ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining, leading to a mature lawn with hedges surrounding the perimeter. At the front of the plot is the concrete driveway, with off street parking available for three/four vehicles. Heading to the first floor, the style and finish is virtually mirrored to the floor below. The primary bedroom sits at the front of the property, benefitting from the bay window, large integrated wardrobes and carpet underfoot. Adjacent, is the smallest bedroom, currently utilised as a dressing room with wooden panelling catching the eye. At the rear, is the second bedroom, offering pleasant views across the garden, and allowing for plenty of space for a king size bed if required. Last but not least, the interior is completed by the outstanding bathroom suite, with marble effect tiling and crittall shower screen protector.
