Arch Grove, Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41

This period cottage, in charming Arch Grove, is full of character. Approached through the Arch Grove arch on Weston Road, opposite Lampton Road, a path leads up to the terrace of cottages, past numbers 1 to 8 Arch Grove, and front gardens on the other side of the path, to number 9. This is therefore a lovely 'tucked away' position, well off Weston Road, but still with various neighbours along Arch Grove.

The entrance hallway opens into the sitting room to the front of the property and the dining room to the rear. The sitting room has a fireplace with log-burner, a coved ceiling, exposed floorboards and a window overlooking the front garden. The dining room features exposed wooden beams, a period fireplace and a window overlooking the rear courtyard.

The dining room leads to the kitchen, with quarry tile floor and a door to the rear courtyard.

Beyond the kitchen, there is a ground floor bedroom, with French doors to the courtyard garden area on one side and windows looking out to the rear garden on the other. There is also an en-suite shower room off this bedroom. This room would alternatively make a lovely study/home office/studio.

Upstairs, there is a modern bathroom and two further bedrooms.

Outside, there are gardens to the front and rear, the rear being a particularly good size, with a pleasant courtyard area with steps leading up to the main, south-west facing rear garden, with lawns, trees/hedges and flower beds/borders, including a wisteria.

Location

Long Ashton is particularly well-positioned, between the city of Bristol and the open countryside of North Somerset. The village is surrounded by fields, woods and golf courses. It also benefits from a David Lloyd Leisure Complex and the Ashton Court Estate at one end of the village, and at the other, Gatcombe Farm Shop and Ashton Hill.

Residents enjoy the convenience of a local Post Office, pharmacy, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, barbers, vets, Co-op supermarket, three/four pubs, the renowned Little Tipple, The Old Library (now a modern cafe/bar/pizzeria) and a local bakery.

There are two highly regarded primary schools within Long Ashton (Birdwell Primary School and Northleaze Primary School), as well as a choice of independent schools and secondary schools within easy reach.

The Long Ashton Village Hall, Café and Community Centre provide a hub for community activities/groups and a venue for the village market. Plus, there are playgrounds, a football pitch, a bowling green, tennis courts and a cricket club, along with local parks and woodlands to enjoy.

Bristol's Harbourside is only 2 or 3 miles away, while Clifton and central Bristol are only 3 or 4 miles from Long Ashton.

This is a fantastic location, between the city and the countryside, with a thriving village community and plenty of village amenities, yet so close to the wonderful city of Bristol!
