A 1970s detached home offering space, light and exciting scope to enhance

Description

Constructed circa 1974 by the renowned Bristol builders VOKES, this detached family home enjoys a wonderfully bright and airy feel throughout. Generous picture windows to both the front and rear elevations allow for excellent solar gain, while mature hedgerows and established trees provide a pleasing sense of privacy from the road.

Built in a Bradstone finish beneath a pitched and tiled roof, the house offers well-balanced two-storey accommodation. The drawing room is bathed in natural light and provides an inviting principal living space, while the adjoining dining room flows seamlessly into the fitted kitchen breakfast room — an arrangement that lends itself perfectly to future re-configuration or modernisation, subject to the necessary consents. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with clear enhancement prospects for those wishing to update or extend.

Gardens lie to both the front and rear of the property, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established borders and flowerbeds that offer year-round colour and excellent privacy.

The integral garage provides storage and parking and houses the oil tank and oil-fired boiler. A tarmacadam carriage driveway offers ample off-street parking, framed by a low stone wall and mature planting. A sun terrace sits to the front, alongside a raised balcony enjoying the same sunny orientation. To the side is a useful timber store, while a pedestrian gate leads to a side porch and onward to the enclosed rear garden. Here, a further sun terrace, compost area and ornamental pond complete this appealing and private outdoor space.

Location

Set within a highly sought-after address to the north-west of the city, the property sits on the cusp of the 400 acres of Durham Downs. The popular suburb of Stoke Bishop offers excellent access to motorway networks, a wide selection of state and independent schools at both primary and secondary levels, and an array of sporting facilities including golf clubs, health clubs and the trim trails across the Downs.

For commuters, the A4018 provides convenient access to the motorway network and the commercial centre. Mainline rail services are available from both Parkway and Temple Meads, connecting to the wider country, while Bristol Airport offers a range of European and select long-haul destinations.
