Forest Edge Close, Ashley Heath, BH24 2DZ

This beautiful three bedroom, flexible property, presented in immaculate order and has been impeccably maintained by the present owner and is also being sold with planning permission passed to build a stunning 4 bedroom home in its place (if desired). There is low energy lighting, updated boiler and double glazed windows. The property is set in one of the area’s finest locations with easy access to the Castleman Trailway (approximately 100 metres) and the Avon Valley path at Moors Valley, which is within walking distance and has an excellent golf course. 

The entrance hallway has porcelain grey flooring extending through to the large, well-fitted open plan kitchen/dining room. This room enjoys a wonderfully sunny aspect with a door and twin windows to the side leading straight out onto the driveway, which in itself provides a pretty Mediterranean style patio/ seating area. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of wall and floor mounted units with granite effect work surfaces, under unit and decorative plinth lighting. Integrated appliances include a double oven with microwave above, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. The dining area is more than ample for a large family dining table and chairs and gives this room a perfect open space for family get-togethers or to enjoy social entertaining. From the dining room end of this room is a glazed door to the sitting room and also a door to the inner hallway. The sitting room sits to the front and enjoys lovely views across the spacious driveway and front garden through an attractive double gazed bay window. A particular feature of this room is its red brick fireplace with inset wood burner. This room has been very well designed to house a seating area around the fire as well as a more formal sitting area to the opposite end.  

The inner hallway is spacious, with inset down lights and doors to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and lit airing cupboard. The loft hatch offers a pull down wooden staircase ladder giving access to the boarded and insulated loft space with plenty of storage.  The master bedroom has twin fitted wardrobes, a superb view across the manicured garden and a crisp white en-suite shower room with large shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Both bedroom two and three benefit from fitted wardrobes and are serviced by a contemporary style family bathroom.  

Outside a double garage encompasses a large rear office, perfect for those who work from home with phone and Ethernet cabling, stairs lead to a room above which extends the whole length of the garage with roof lights that bring in the natural light. This area is serviced by a separate gas fired boiler and could be considered ideal for conversion to an annexe and currently provides flexible, ancillary accommodation – subject of course to the necessary consents being granted. 

The rear garden has been extensively and thoughtfully re-modelled, with a simply stunning, outdoor kitchen & recreation space being cleverly created. This impressive, covered area has a built-in Beef Eater gas fired BBQ, matching hotplate/grill and wine chiller. There is also a gas-fired fire pit, integrated seating, power and light. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, enclosed by fencing, with stocked flower and shrub beds. Access the front can be gained from both sides.

To the front is a large, gravelled driveway providing extensive parking & turning and an archway with double opening wrought iron gates leading to the Mediterranean style patio, which in turn leads to the double garage. Residents of Forest Edge Close often allow ‘day trippers’  to Moors Valley Country Park to use their driveways for a daily, fixed cost, which is significantly less than the park charges. Making a little pocket money!

This home really does have to be seen to fully appreciate the stylish design details and exacting standard of maintenance it has to offer.
