West Dene, Stoke Bishop, Bristol, BS9

This delightful family home offers space, large gardens and a great location on a highly regarded side road. With five bedrooms and two bathrooms the house is ideally suited as a long term family home.
The house sits in a generous plot of circa one fifth of an acre with a level rear garden of approximately 150ft. in length. Enjoying a favourable westerly aspect ensuring afternoon and evening sun in the garden and rear of the house. The wide plot also allows for parking of cars to the side of the house before reaching the garage.
Built in 1930 the house retains many of its traditional features with rendered elevations, bay windows and a picturesque storm porch opening into a very impressive hall with dog leg stairs rising to the upper floor. The remainder of the ground floor provides 2 formal reception rooms, a C.20ft. kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, WC and store. There is the possibility to knock the rear room through to create a larger open plan family area or as the neighbours have done extend across the rear.
The upper floors provide five bedrooms. Four can reasonably be described as good double sized rooms and the fifth a single sized room which is currently used as a study. Plenty of eaves storage accessed via the loft room. There is a family bathroom on the first floor and a shower room on the top floor. The bedrooms positioned to the rear of the house have a pleasant outlook over surrounding gardens and Stoke Lodge playing fields.

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the house and are unusually large for the area. Lovingly tended by the current owners for over 30 years there are lots of character areas as well as an extensive lawn. The garage sits beyond the house and has plenty of storage space. Beyond that is a good sized summer house with power and greenhouse. The drive runs the length of the house and provides parking for several cars. This frees up the space in front of the house to be used as a traditional front garden rather than car parking area.

Local Area
The house is adjacent to Stoke Lodge playing fields and for the past three years has been within the catchment area of two highly regarded local primary schools (Elmlea & Stoke Bishop).
