4 bed detached house for sale

Street End Lane, Blagdon, Bristol BS40

Treetops is believed to date from the 1920's. The present co-owner, who is an award winning architect, has imaginatively transformed the property by redesigning and extending the accommodation to take advantage of its exceptional position and views. With the installation of floor to ceiling windows and roof windows, the far reaching views and sky are captured internally.

The striking open plan bespoke kitchen/dining room opens on to a large decked balcony with glazed balustrade, which
spans the width of the property. The panoramic view is stunning. The comfortable sitting room continues from the dining kitchen through two open square archways, ensuring that the view is seen from all angles. On the lower ground floor, all the four bedrooms and dressing room take advantage of the view, and the bath/wet room and family bathroom are contemporary, with a stylish finish.

The house is arranged as an upside down house, with the living accommodation on the ground floor and the bedrooms on the lower ground floor, with both floors having stunning views. There are engineered oak floors, moulded architraves and skirting boards, tongue and groove panelling to dado height, and a log burning stove in the sitting room and in the study. Designed for high energy performance, there are double glazed windows throughout, and the walls are insulated to a higher than average specification.
