Description
Hollyhurst is discreetly tucked away from Park Lane at the head of a long tree
line lane – purposely unmarked to maintain its privacy and sense of seclusion.
The current owners totally remodelled the property that once stood on the
grounds and have created a very smart modern dwelling, perched on the hillside
and commanding wonderful views across its extensive grounds. Some twenty years
ago they were presented with the opportunity to purchase additional land from
a neighbouring farmer and rightly considered this option too good to pass by,
enabling them to extend their already expansive lawns to a lovely lower area
interspersed with ornamental trees that has been used regularly for family
camping, bonfire parties and outdoor games.
A sweeping gated driveway winds to the side of the property to the front of
the new double garage with twin electric doors and with a generous workshop
set below. Importantly for a country home, there is parking for numerous
vehicles, including a carport set immediately to the front of the house with a
pathway leading down through the front garden to the main entrance. The
accommodation is arranged over just two floors with a contemporary kitchen
with stylish quartz worksurfaces and a separate utility room proving access to
the garden. There are three reception rooms, one of which could be used as a
bedroom for a dependent relative in conjunction with the large ground floor
shower room. A particularly favourite room of the owners is the very spacious
and relaxed garden room at the far end of the house. There are three bedrooms
and a further bathroom on the first floor and it would be possible to split
the largest of the bedrooms to create a further room if so desired.
Whilst the house has much to recommend it is undoubtedly the extraordinary
grounds that will capture the imagination of any potential buyer – this was
certainly the case when the owners came across the property many years ago
deciding almost on the spot that they must buy it. Since then, they have
lavished hours of time creating a magical private parkland which attracts a
host of local wildlife and it is very special to sit on their rear terrace and
watch the buzzard and red kites circling the skies below. The enormous Koi
pond is a terrific feature and has been caged all around for the safety of the
owners' young grandchildren. Adjacent to the house is an enclosed and
sheltered kitchen garden with a greenhouse and useful outbuildings that may
offer conversion potential for leisure of office use – perhaps even a self -
contained annexe subject to planning approval.
Location
The lively Winterbourne high street offers a range of convenience stores, a
butcher, bank and post office. There are a number of gastro pubs in the area
too, including The Golden Heart and The White Horse in nearby Hambrook.
Conveniently close to the city of Bristol and surrounding areas, Winterbourne
also offers good schooling and excellent transport links for road and rail. A
home in Winterbourne brings you the best of both worlds, where you can feel
like you’re in the country while never being far away from bright lights and
buzz of the city.
