Wills Lane, Bristol, Somerset, BS9

A modern contemporary home in a discreet back water off the Downs.

Description

A modern detached house designed by Richard Pedlar Architects and constructed circa 1988, one of three select homes in this private road off Saville Road and Durdham Downs. The property is well-appointed and enjoys open views over a picturesque meadow and a wooded area to the rear. Having been extended and extensively modernised, the house now combines contemporary open-plan living with formal spaces, benefitting from abundant solar gain.

The manageable south-facing walled garden features sun terraces with an Italian granite patio, along with a good size lawn and gardens, while the front offers gated off-street parking and an integrated garage with an electric door controlled by an app and fob.

This versatile family home offers two-storey accommodation, including a mezzanine level. The reception hall serves as the central hub, with principal rooms, a cloakroom, and a convenient downstairs W/C opening directly off it. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen dining room, with full-length glazed doors opening onto the garden and incorporating a cosy snug. The kitchen is well-equipped with a substantial marble work surface, integrated Aga (please note the Aga is not operational), dishwasher, and auxiliary oven. Adjacent is the utility room housing supporting appliances and the gas-fired boiler.

The sitting room provides a more intimate space with a fireplace, dual-aspect windows, and fitted colonial shutters. The staircase rises to a mezzanine and a generous bedroom (formerly the drawing room), which features a decorative fireplace and dual-aspect elevated views. Off the landing are three further bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom, while the master bedroom benefits from its own dedicated en suite shower room.

Gated entry and a block-paved driveway provide additional parking and access to the integrated garage. The rear garden is walled and includes two terraces, one for lounging and another for al fresco dining, along with a strip of lawn and stocked flower borders. A further hard-landscaped courtyard, enjoying the morning sun, is located to the side of the house.

Please note the Aga is not a working Aga and the gas fireplaces are capped off.
