Close to Clifton Village

This is a property that can truly be said, without exaggeration, to have it all. And it is rare that homes like this come to the market. The lifestyle it offers simply cannot be bettered.

The best of all worlds.

The location itself is extraordinary. On the one hand it's within walking distance of Clifton Village with its vibrant mix of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and bars. This makes it equally convenient for a number of extremely prestigious independent schools. The city centre is easily commutable and travelling further afield is equally convenient with junction 19 of the M5 a short distance away and great road links to Bristol International Airport just 8 miles away.

Having said that, the local environment is such that you may struggle to leave. The property is set on the site that was the botanical gardens of Bracken Hill House, an elegant Victorian mansion originally built by the prosperous family (founders of the famous tobacco firm of WD and HO Wills). It is one of just six homes in a gated community that has exclusive use of these old botanical gardens and peaceful woodland.

Step outside these idyllic environs and you find yourself in Leigh Woods nature reserve. Meandering footpaths and cycleways lead you to the remains of an iron age hill fort, the thickly wooded slopes of Nightingale Valley and the stunning vistas of the Avon Gorge. A couple of minutes' walk in the other direction and you are in the wide open spaces of Ashton Court with its sweeping views, extensive cycle paths and ample space for picnics, rambles and numerous popular festivals.

A home that won't cramp your style

The property itself is supremely well designed to cope with the demands of today's modern lifestyles. Each room and floor flows smoothly into the next, making the living easy for a family where everyone likes to do their own thing but with great communal areas for socialising and entertaining. There's a very good balance between communal areas and quieter spaces for working or chilling out. The heart of the home is a large open-plan reception, kitchen, dining room on the ground floor which has space for the whole family. One person could be cooking another studying, a third putting together a presentation for work, while a fourth is watching TV - it all works. The snug on the lower ground floor can be used as a cinema room or playroom. Or for those now working from home it would make an amazing office space.

Four large double bedrooms, a family bathroom plus two en-suites and two more cloakrooms should keep everyone happy (even teenagers). A separate utility room makes life easier too. Equally important there's ample built-in storage throughout the house so it's easy to keep clutter under control - very handy for the family that also like to entertain. Architecturally designed to make the best use of natural light to stunning effect. The hallways and landings are beautifully designed to give space and bring light to the home. As for the style, the photographs tell their own story - this is a home with the wow factor in abundance.

Being part of a gated community has a number of advantages. There's off-road parking and a double garage (a huge bonus in Bristol). You also have exclusive private access to the communal gardens and woodland - as well as your own generous sized garden. On top of which there's the peace of mind that you and your family are living within a secure environment.

How often do you find so many positive qualities in a single property? Seldom. A truly stunning family home.
