Description

This house was re-built over eight years around the idea that the best thing a home can give you is a better daily life. Wake to sunrise over the treetops of Blaise woodland. Take a daily run or walk the dog through 650 acres of managed parkland accessed from a gate on your own property. Host twenty people on a roof terrace built for exactly that.

That gate sits at the foot of the garden and opens directly onto the Blaise Castle Estate, whose woodland, trails and parkland become, in effect, an extension of the garden. Morning runs, dog walks and after-school adventures all start at your own back fence. From the house itself, the outlook stretches across the treetops of the Blaise woodland, a panoramic canopy view that changes with every season and is at its best at sunrise, taken in from the terrace below or the roof terrace above.

The house was substantially re-modelled and extended between 2015 and 2023 to an exacting standard, using passive-house construction techniques including thermal-break detailing, triple glazing and external wall insulation. It carries an EPC rating of B, with estimated heating, hot water and lighting costs of around £1,200 a year for the whole house, remarkably low for a detached family home of this size.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors that follow the slope of the site, with 2,180 sq. Ft (203 sq. M) of built accommodation including the integral garage, plus a 329 sq. Ft roof terrace, some 2,509 sq. Ft in all.

The entrance is dominated by the 24ft x 19ft open-plan kitchen and dining space, a room designed for entertaining. Sliding doors open the full space onto a 30 sq. M roof terrace with glass balustrading and uninterrupted views over the woodland canopy. This is where dinner parties spill outside, where summer evenings run long, and where the family gathers to watch fireworks across the city, or the air balloons passing by from the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta. The kitchen itself is fitted with high-gloss units, quartz worktops, a substantial island with breakfast-bar seating and a walk-in pantry. Also on this level are a home gym, a cloakroom, and internal access to the integral garage.

Stairs descend to the garden level, where the 18’7 x 14’4 living room opens through full-width bi-fold doors onto the second, larger terrace, currently home to the hot tub and the owner’s favourite spot for morning sun over the treetops. An acoustic feature wall with inset fireplace anchors the room. The fifth bedroom sits on this level too, with dual-aspect garden views: It works equally well as a guest room, teenager’s own quarter of the house, or the home office it currently serves as, with enough separation from family life to take calls in peace.

The first floor holds four bedrooms arranged to each corner of the house. The principal bedroom takes the rear aspect and the treetop views, with fitted wardrobes throughout and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedroom three shares the same outlook, and a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

Outside, the garden descends in three landscaped tiers, from a large tiled terrace to mature planting and then a broad lawn bordered by established trees, before reaching the gate into Blaise. To the front, a private driveway leads to the integral garage.

Pitchcombe Gardens is the sort of street where children can play football outside, and a genuine community, increasingly rare these days. The residents’ WhatsApp group organises a street party every few years, cake sales, a carol singing event and managed trick-or-treating for the younger ones. Local shops are a ten-minute walk, Westbury-on-Trym village twenty minutes, and Sea Mills station, with direct trains into Bristol Temple Meads, around twenty-five minutes. The house sits within the catchment area of Stoke Bishop, St Ursula’s and Sea Mills primary schools.

This is a home for a family who want space to work, room to grow, and a healthier, more outdoor life on their doorstep.
