Bath Road, Swineford, Bristol, BS30

An exceptional Scandinavian style riverside home with private mooring and slipway.



Description

A unique contemporary home set alongside the River Avon, boasting spectacular views, private mooring, riparian rights, and its own slipway. This bespoke home offers light filled, open plan living with distinctive Scandinavian styling, beautifully enhanced by an oak frame that accentuates the impressive vaulted ceilings.

This much admired, architect designed home was constructed for the current owners in 2002/03 and sits on a piled concrete platform, thoughtfully elevated for flood protection. The raised design also provides valuable under croft parking for several vehicles, along with additional storage.

An external covered staircase leads to the entrance hall, which provides access to the stunning full height living and kitchen area, as well as a laundry room, a separate shower room with WC, and stairs leading to the mezzanine level.

The rear elevation is fully glazed and south west facing, flooding the living space with natural light while capturing uninterrupted river vistas. The sitting area features a bespoke log burner, and full width double glazed sliding doors that open onto a raised deck, with steps leading down to the garden.

The contemporary kitchen is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances and flows seamlessly into the living area, creating a sociable and inclusive space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The principal bedroom is accessed from the main living space and benefits from a walk in wardrobe, a luxurious en suite, and direct access to the terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the picturesque river views.

On the first floor, a generous mezzanine overlooks the main living space below and leads to a Juliet balcony. Subject to the necessary consents, this area offers excellent potential to create additional bedrooms if required and is currently laid out as an open plan office/hobby area/occasional bedroom.

Gardens & Grounds

Accessed from Bath Road via a tall electric sliding gate, the property opens into a private parking area, with access to the garage/workshop and slipway.

The rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with well stocked flower beds, a level lawn, and a practical wood store. Leading directly from the house via steps, a recently updated, impressive decked terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or al fresco dining, acting as a natural extension of the living space.

A particularly rare feature of this riverside home is the ability to moor a boat directly alongside the garden, complemented by its own private slipway.
