Denys Court, Olveston, BS35

This distinctive detached village home enjoys a corner plot, in an elevated setting with country views over the roof-tops of neighbouring homes towards the Severn Bridge in the distance. It benefits from a central location convenient for village amenities - the primary school, the shop, the parish church and the pub - not forgetting some lovely country walks. Split-level in design, it includes a dual-aspect lounge with a fireplace and patio doors letting light flood in, a separate dining room – again with patio doors, plus a galleried study with views through the window. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room includes a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, plus a generous utility room adjacent. The principal bedroom opens onto a full-width balcony, with open views, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower in the corner. There are three further bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, a loft room with great potential, plus the family bathroom. There is an integral double garage with plenty of parking in front and practical benefits that include Upvc double-glazing and oil central heating. The front and side of the property are screened by mature shrubs and a lovely monkey-puzzle tree. The rear garden is quite private, backing onto an old stone wall, mainly lad to lawn with a patio to the immediate rear and a further elevated terrace in a rea corner, perfect for enjoying some sunshine – weather permitting! A great opportunity to personalise and update a fabulous family home in a highly desirable village setting.
