Old Gloucester Road, Alveston, Bristol, BS35

Quite simply, The Beeches is a wonderful family home; thoughtfully updated by the current owners, with a refurbished ground floor complete with underfloor heating, roof-mounted solar panels, a 3.5 kWh battery in the loft space with relandscaped gardens and integrated ceiling speakers through the main living spaces.

Set back from the quiet no-through lane behind dual entrance gates, the house is approached over a generous driveway with plenty of off-street parking. A covered storm porch leads into the entrance porch, with space for coats and shoes, and on into an open entrance hall; with under-stairs storage neatly housing the Wifi server, CAT 6 network and audio equipment.

The ground floor has been stylishly modernised with new flooring and underfloor heating throughout and is arranged perfectly for both day-to-day family living and entertaining.

To one side is the sitting room; a cosy, dual aspect room overlooking the gardens, with a deep-pile carpet, glazed double doors and a feature wood-burning stove set within a carved stone fireplace. A wonderful room to retreat to on a winter's evening.

At the heart of the house is the L-shaped open plan kitchen, dining and family room. Bi-folding doors open out onto the side terrace, whilst French doors from the dining space lead onto the rear patio; perfect for spilling out into on summer evenings.

The kitchen offers an expanse of quartz worktops and plenty of floor and wall-mounted storage with under-cupboard LED lighting and a powder blue Falcon range cooker (induction hob, twin ovens, separate grill and pan storage) taking centre stage. A feature Franke sink overlooks the driveway and is fitted with a Qettle dual tank instant boiling hot water and cool filtered water tap, and there is an integrated dishwasher and under-counter day fridge.

Beyond is a light filled, dual aspect playroom / home office, with its own underfloor heating control and ceiling speakers; equally suited to a children's den, home working or a snug.

In addition, the utility room provides further cabinetry, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and a door out into the rear garden, along with a corner cupboard housing the hot water tank, American style fridge freezer and solar energy recovery system. There is also a cloakroom with w.c and vanity basin accessed from the entrance hall. 

Upstairs, a light filled galleried landing is lit by an oversize remote operated Velux window, and triple recessed storage cupboards.

The principal bedroom suite is superb; with front-facing twin casement windows, recessed fitted wardrobes and an open archway through to a dedicated dressing room / walk-in wardrobe with four further recessed wardrobes.

A pocket sliding door leads into the triple aspect en-suite; complete with an oversize walk-in shower with a contemporary rose head, twin marble-topped vanity basins with storage, w.c, heated towel ladder and radiator.

Bedroom four is a lovely triple aspect room, currently arranged as a guest bedroom / office, with a recessed suite of three wardrobes. To the rear, bedroom two enjoys a dual aspect over the garden, whilst bedroom three has a built-in cupboard and an integrated desk nook (easily converted to wardrobes if preferred).

These are served by a stylish family bathroom; with an oversize double-ended bath, enclosed corner shower cubicle with rose head, w.c, vanity basin and heated towel ladder, again complimented by a large Velux window.

Outside:

The gardens at The Beeches have been sensitively relandscaped by the current owners and wrap around the house on all four sides.

To the front is a sun-drenched south-facing level lawn, catching much of the day's sun and plenty big enough for children to play in, whilst to the western side is a mature and well-tended vegetable garden; a real treat for keen gardeners.

To the rear, a lawn garden is complemented by a paved terrace wrapping around the house, reached via both the bi-folding doors and French doors; the perfect spot for al-fresco dining, from morning coffee to an evening BBQ.

The principal gated entrance gives access ample off-street parking, along with a discreet secondary set of gates, offers potential access for an oak-framed twin carport (subject to the necessary consents). In addition, a detached red brick outbuilding provides secure storage for bikes and garden equipment.
