4 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Bristol

3 4 3

A quintessential English country cottage situated in one of Bristol's most exclusive residential locations, surrounded by open countryside, yet only a few moments from the fashionable suburb of Clifton.

Summary Of Accommodation - April Cottage offers accommodation totalling around 3,100 square feet including four bedrooms (two en-suite) and a detached double garage with generous loft storage over. The property has served as a longstanding family home and has been tastefully improved and extended under the current ownership to offer a wealth of charm and character. One of the most predominant features of this beautiful home are the stunning landscaped gardens that look over stunning open countryside directly behind. The gardens form quite a picture being manicured and well-stocked with a rich variety of mature trees and established shrubs. The house occupies an overall plot of just under quarter of an acre that includes a large lawned frontage and patio area to the rear that encapsulates the aforementioned rural views. There is also ample, gated driveway car parking that offers easy access to the garaging.

The property was acquired in 2002 by the current owners and underwent a comprehensive program of modernisation and refurbishment soon after their acquisition. Throughout the comfortable accommodation there is a consistently high standard of presentation with a calming blend of natural materials and neutral decor. This compliments some charming features such as a most welcoming, galleried entrance hall, with exposed roof trusses to the landing above, arears of some stone and oak flooring and fireplaces to the living room and kitchen complete with log burners. Each room offers extremely uplifting, rural outlooks, most notably the dual aspect living room that has particularly pleasing views towards Leigh Woods in the southeast. April Cottage offers the perfect solution for those wishing to escape the city, aspiring to upsize with family or perhaps even those downsizing without.

Location - Abbots Leigh is regarded by many as one of the most sought-after villages on the outskirts of Bristol. An active village community enjoys the use of its own Church, public house, acclaimed Bikeshed café, recreational field and village hall all being within quarter of a mile of the property. Clifton Village is situated approximately two miles away across Isambard Kingdom Brunel's world-famous Suspension Bridge and the city centre is approximately three and a half miles distant. Junction 19 of the M5 gives access to the UK motorway network and can be found within four miles and Bristol International Airport around eight miles. A variety of beautiful walks including Abbots Pool, Leigh Woods and The Avon Gorge (in itself a designated area of special scientific interest and natural beauty) are on offer quite literally from the doorstep.

Directions - (From Clifton) Depart Bristol across the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge (£1 toll) on the B3129 as far as the traffic lights opposite the gates to Ashton Court. Turn right at these traffic lights onto the A369 towards Portishead. After about half a mile, carry straight on at the next set of traffic lights continuing along the A369. Again, after about half a mile observe The George public house on your left-hand side. Turn Right directly opposite The George into Church Road. Continue for about a quarter of a mile until you see Holy Trinity church in front of you. Pass the church on your left-hand side and the subject property is found just before the very end of Church Road on the right-hand side (number 60).
