5 bedroom detached house for sale

A five bedroom detached house in beautiful gardens and grounds approaching three acres encompassed by beautiful open countryside, yet only four miles from Clifton and five and a half miles from the City Centre. The elevated position of Batsford within this little known haven allows breathtaking views across undulating farmland towards the Bristol Channel as far as the Welsh Hills beyond. The house has been maintained and improved under the current ownership to a particularly high standard with exceptional gardens that stand testament to this. Other advantages include solid wooden flooring to the principal living areas, a 19'5 x 14'7 (5.9 x 4.4m) reception/dining hall with solid oak staircase, conservatory opening to a delightful sun terrace, double glazed windows, fitted kitchen and well appointed bath/shower rooms. The generously proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers true flexibility as well an abundance of natural light from picture windows that encapsulate the unique outlook. Without doubt one of the most predominant features of the property are the stunning gardens and grounds (2.675 acres/1.083 ha) that offer a high degree of versatility of usage to an incoming purchaser whether seeking to pursue horticultural, equestrian or light agricultural interests. Outbuildings include a summer house/garden dining room (again offering a magnificent view from a commanding vantage point), some former stables and stores and a recently constructed detached garage measuring 27'3 x 19'9 (8.3 x 6m) that has planning consent to provide further accommodation above that could serve a number of different uses. An impressive driveway approaches the house and allows ample parking behind automated entrance gates.
