Description

A stunning detached modernist family residence set in over half an acre of gardens. this breathtaking property was built in 1936 and has been sensitively extended and refurbished by the current owners, who have respected the Architectural significance of this wonderful building to create a fabulous contemporary family home.

Summary Of Accommodation - Designed by the renowned Bristol Architect Mark Harland Thomas, Sneed House was completed in 1936. It was instantly recognised as a significant building in the modernist style and subsequently selected by The Architect and Building News for detailed illustration and description. Mark Harland Thomas was awarded the OBE for his role in the preparation for the 1951 Festival of Britain, and you can even see his painting in the National Portrait Gallery.
On entering Sneed House, one is immediately aware of the quality of this family home, and the exacting standards that the current owners delivered with their improvements. The uninterrupted flow of clean open lines, space and expansive glazing allows natural light to flood the accommodation, and combined with the flat roof lines create a seamless connection between form and function.
The accommodation is set over three floors and boasts balconies and patios that make the most of the south westerly aspect. On the ground floor there are two studies off the entrance hall. The property then flows to the inner hall with an elegant stone staircase that ascends to the first floor, creating a double height galleried landing. Double doors lead to the living room, which enjoys a period stone fireplace as a centrepiece. The heart of the property is the large kitchen that is very well appointed, offering a wide range of units flanking the far wall as well as forming an island. The kitchen is dressed with Corian, which enhances the feeling of contemporary clean lines, and also incorporates underfloor heating and a myriad of integrated appliances. The spacious room offers direct access to the rear patio and gardens beyond. Accessed off the kitchen is a snug which is currently used as a second living room. The ground floor is also equipped with a utility room, cloakroom and plant room housing the heating and hot water systems.
The majority of the bedrooms are sited on the first floor. Bedroom 2 and 5 enjoy the Southwest aspect, whilst bedrooms 3 and 4 take advantage of the morning sun to the Northeast. There is a family bathroom, and bedrooms 2,3 and 5 benefit from ensuites. A key feature of the first floor is the large Southwest facing balcony with glass balustrades.
The top floor houses the master suite which comprises a large double bedroom accessing a private balcony, an ensuite bathroom and dressing room.
Outside, Sneed House is set back from the road affording a large driveway with ample parking, as well as a garage. The entire plot measures 0.58 acres, and the home sits comfortably within the middle of the plot, allowing for a large rear garden that is mainly laid to lawn with established borders containing a wealth of mature trees and shrubs as well as vegetable patches and fruit trees.

Location - Old Sneed Park is without doubt one of the city’s finest residential addresses, consisting of large family dwellings with extensive gardens and driveway parking. Sneyd Park is situated conveniently close to the city and amenities, but far enough away from their hustle and bustle to provide a tranquil leafy green setting. There are many green open spaces in close proximity, such as the Old Sneed Park Nature Reserve, Clifton Downs, Blaise Castle Estate, and Ashton Court. The area is particularly well served for schooling in both the state and private sectors.
Sneyd Park has easy access to the extensive local amenities of Stoke Hill, Whiteladies Road, and Henleaze. Bristol city centre is within two miles and is accessed by regular bus services. Also at hand is Sea Mills Train Station with its connecting trains to Bristol Temple Meads which provides regular services to London Paddington. The National motorway network can be found within two miles and a half miles to junction 3 of the M32 and three miles to junction 17 of the M5. There is also excellent road and bus access to the extensive regional shopping centre at Cribbs Causeway. The property is ten miles away from Bristol International airport, offering regular flights to many European destinations.
Bristol itself has a popular cultural and music scene, catering for all tastes and genres. There is a rich history which can be seen throughout the city, in particular Brunel’s Suspension Bridge, the SS Great Britain, Concorde and the Historic Harbourside. The harbourside offers a wealth of restaurants and bars, for the more active there is sailing and windsurfing at Baltic Wharf, and even surfing at “The Wave”.
