Quite simply, an opportunity such as this presents itself once
in a buyer‘s lifetime. The chance to acquire a pair of stunning
family houses in a private and peaceful setting; with state of the
art fixtures and fittings, landscaped gardens and grounds, a shared
gated drive with an expanse of off street parking and versatile
accommodation of over 8000 sq. ft spread out across two Freehold
family houses.
The houses have been built to the highest specification with the
aim, quite simply, to bring the outside in. Each room maximises
light and space; with bi folding doors a feature of the ground
floor and master bedroom suites, and clever corner windows
capturing much of the day‘ sun whilst retaining a high degree of
privacy.
They are each sociable, spacious and exceptionally versatile
whilst being as private or inclusive as each occupier might wish;
connected by the shared driveway to the front and a single door,
between garages, on the inside.
Aside from these two touch points the architect designed homes
are incredibly private; with landscaped gardens providing year
round enjoyment; from the fitted outdoor kitchen in 76a to the
almost spa like finish of the outdoor pool and hot tub of
76b.
Each house enjoys an outdoor sauna, whilst 76a has the benefit
of detached home office space in the garden.
Inside, every conceivable tech option has been considered with
an integrated Loxone smart home automation system controlling the
lights, heating zoned underfloor throughout each house , recessed
blinds, media and even the hot tub remotely, at any time of day or
night and from anywhere in the world.
Both houses enjoy a double height atrium in the entrance halls,
flooding the entrances with natural light and presenting a
welcoming light filled reception space; whilst above are spacious
first floor landings with plenty of room for a reading nook
overlooking the architectural staircases and looking out into the
woods beyond.
In each kitchen there is an oversize island and breakfast bar,
creating a sociable space for families of all ages and size to
enjoy, connecting seamlessly to the open plan dining and seating
areas.
The garden flows out from these spaces truly bringing the
outside in; with beautiful birdsong from the trees surrounding the
houses belying how well connected to central Bristol these homes
are.
Kitchen appliances from high quality providers such as Fisher &
Paykel, Quooker and Meile compliment the German designed kitchens,
along with integrated wine fridges, a recycling compactor drawer in
76b and Insinkerators making life just that little bit
easier.
Feature Bell corner gas fires add a focal point and warmth in
the winter whilst the MVHR system keeps the air fresh, fully
circulated and provides a constant supply of fresh filtered
air.
Upstairs, each of the master suites overlook the adjoining
woodland and their rear gardens, bringing in the changing colours
of the trees with bi folding doors opening onto a Juliet balcony.
They each enjoy his & hers dressing rooms and beautifully fitted en
suite bath and shower rooms.
The remaining guest bedrooms in each house share a mixture of en
suite bath shower rooms and fitted storage along with a spacious
and generous family bathroom; with oversize twin ended bath and
oversize shower cubicles.
Throughout the houses are clever storage solutions, including
linen cupboards across the first floor landings and coat and boot
cupboards within the entrance halls along with numerous Velux
windows, many electronically operated and rain sensitive, flooding
the transitional spaces with natural light.
Outside
Situated at the very top of Grove Road there is no passing
traffic; the houses sitting in a unique plot of circa 0.6 of an
acre and bordered by the Blaise Court Estate. Birdsong proliferates
and the open views are as uplifting as they are distant.
Each home enjoys its own private outside space, but is accessed
by a shared driveway leading down from a gated entrance to an
expanse of off street parking and access to each property‘s circa
500 sq ft garages complete with underfloor heating.
76a has a charming fully enclosed rear garden, accessed both
from inside the house as well as from the drive, with steps leading
up from the side.
This has been sensitively landscaped to provide year round use
with a superb fitted outdoor kitchen, expanse of lawn and a
detached home office play room. The garden swings around to the
south elevation presenting a private courtyard with a further
children‘s play area and arced timber clad sauna.
76b has an almost zen like south facing garden and spa
facilities; with a beautiful Niveko swimming pool with in built
roller cover and a separate in ground hot tub, complete with an
outdoor hot & cold running shower and access to a infra red Zoki
sauna. A child safe balustrade runs between the pool and house with
a stylish outdoor sitting room, covered to three sides, overlooking
the pool and finished with a contemporary outdoor gas fire; a space
to be savoured and enjoyed all year round.
Both gardens are lit up with a high tech lighting system to
provide night moods and there are plenty of water and power
connections.
The garden of 76b has also been finished with access to an
outdoor gas supply and additional power should a outdoor kitchen be
required as well as secure independent access to a side lane
leading down to Grove Road.
