Abbots Leigh Road, Abbots Leigh, Bristol, Somerset, BS8

Roselands is one of just two individually designed contemporary residences, thoughtfully crafted by a local developer with an uncompromising commitment to quality, design and sustainability. Designed with clean contemporary architectural lines, slate roofing and composite cladding, the home combines refined architectural detailing with exceptional energy efficiency. Modern luxuries and practicalities incorporate triple-glazed aluminium-framed windows and doors, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, an MVHR ventilation system, Cat 6 cabling, EV charging and a 10-year Advantage structural warranty.

A wide and welcoming reception hall with Amtico wood plank flooring, enhanced by a striking galleried landing above, provides an impressive introduction to the home, with a WC and dedicated separate plant room immediately to the left.

At its heart lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring approximately 33ft by 21ft with Amtico concrete stone flooring. Designed as the principal living space, the room is bathed in natural light through full-height aluminium sliding doors on two elevations, creating a seamless connection with the gardens beyond. The bespoke kitchen is centred around a substantial quartz-topped island with a breakfast bar and three contemporary pendant light fittings overhead. The integrated NEFF appliances include an induction hob with downdraft extraction, three ovens, a dishwasher, a full-height fridge and a full-height freezer.

Supporting the kitchen is an exceptional suite of practical spaces ensuring everyday family life is as functional as it is stylish. These include a generous walk-in pantry, a boot room with external access and a generous utility room with an integrated dual-zone wine cooler, a second integrated dishwasher, plumbing for white goods, an additional sink and further storage.

Beyond the hall, a sizeable sitting room, again with Amtico flooring, opens directly onto the gardens via sliding doors, with an adjoining study with integrated book shelving. A second spacious reception room off the hall provides a versatile space and could be used as a snug, playroom, studio, cinema or music room.

A timber staircase with glass balustrades leads up to the galleried first-floor landing, from which all five bedrooms are accessed. The principal suite enjoys lovely views over the gardens and surrounding woodland and features an en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in rainfall shower, together with a spacious dressing room and discreet access to a substantial full-height eaves storage room.

Two further double bedrooms each benefit from contemporary en suite shower rooms, while the fourth double bedroom shares an elegant Jack & Jill shower room with the fifth adaptable room, ideal as a guest bedroom, nursery, study or additional dressing room.

A particularly thoughtful feature of the design is the extensive full-height eaves storage, discreetly accessed directly from four of the principal bedrooms. With generous head height, these versatile areas offer excellent potential for hobbies, children's dens, study spaces or further storage.

Externally, Roselands occupies approximately 1.5 acres of private grounds incorporating gardens, meadow and mature woodland, providing an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Approached via a shared block-paved entrance serving just two residences, private electric gates open onto Roselands' own illuminated block-paved driveway and substantial forecourt providing parking for numerous vehicles together with EV charging.

The rear gardens extend across three gently terraced levels and are predominantly laid to lawn. An impressive 92ft porcelain terrace extends across much of the rear elevation, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the gardens, the meadow and mature woodland provide a beautiful natural backdrop. The grounds also offer potential for a swimming pool or tennis/padel court, subject to the necessary consents.

All in all, this is a rare and unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional 21st-century home with excellent energy efficiency and a substantial plot just 1 mile from the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
