A detached family house with beautiful and established gardens bordering the
Bristol Golf Club.
Description
A much loved family house, constructed in the 1950’s and standing within
established walled gardens. Longdown forms part of the Over Court development
and borders the Bristol Golf Club. There have been some enhancements made
during the lengthy tenure of the owners and these include double glazed
windows, an oil fired central heating system and a neutral décor.
Notwithstanding some modernisation is required and there is plenty of scope to
extend (subject to the necessary planning consents). The property is
constructed from traditional materials with rendered elevations under a
pitched and tiled roof and there is good solar gain and advantageous views
from windows which face South and West.
The property is approached via the reception hall with a double glazed front
door, understairs cupboard and cloakroom. There is a rising dogleg staircase
to the first floor. There are two principal rooms; the drawing room is dual
aspect with a picture window to the front and sliding double glazed doors to
the terrace and rear garden and there is a tiled fireplace. Adjacent is the
dining room with a further picture window over the garden and a connecting
door to the kitchen/breakfast room which includes a range of wall and base
units and various integrated appliances. Beyond again is the large
utility/boot room with additional stores and the boiler cupboard. This is half
glazed and with a polypropylene roof and has a further door providing access
to the garden.
The first floor features four bedrooms and these are served by a more recently
installed shower room.
Of particular note and credit are the gardens. These have been beautifully
laid out and heavily planted by the present owners and are well established
and walled with a wide variety of native plants, shrubs and trees providing
year round colour. Borders are rich and pungent with lavender, climbing roses
and of note there are Acers, Palms and various Firs. Beech hedges provide
privacy and screen a summer house whilst a deep well stocked border hides the
wild garden and kitchen garden beyond. At the end of the garden is a useful
greenhouse. There is gated entry with a gravelled drive for parking in
addition to a garage.
Location
The nearby village of Almondsbury includes a wide variety of amenity including
a regarded primary school, Parish Church, public house, community shop,
dentist and doctors. There are good arterial routes to Bristol City Centre and
Cribbs Causeway and the M5 and M4 motorway networks. For national travel,
Bristol Parkway Train Station has an extensive service to many cities
nationwide. For sporting endeavours there is of course the golf club adjacent
and the countryside also offers bridle paths and footpaths. There is also
health and leisure clubs in proximity.
