Blackhorse Place, Mangotsfield

'We've loved living in this detached home in a quite area. It's such a peaceful spot. The extra garden we've acquired has been brilliant and gives us a real feeling of space. Being so close to shops just down the lane as well has been very useful and something we will miss moving out of the city.'

This home is situated on the edge of Mangotsfield, close to Emersons Green. This is a quiet residential area with houses of all ages, ranging from cottages and grand Victorian houses, through many kinds of 20th century styles to some modern and new build homes, such as this one. This area has array of green spaces nearby, with the green on Blackhorse Place itself but with several more vast outdoor spaces nearby such as Pomphrey Hill and Mangotsfield Common. The abundance of green space along with the wide streets and spacious homes make this is an area hugely popular with families. This appeal is further enhanced by several good schools nearby with the ‘outstanding’ Mangotsfield Primary School and the ‘good’ Stanbridge Primary, Lyde Green Primary and Blackhorse Primary Schools. For shops and amenities, the area has a good choice of different venues to shops and spend time. Emersons Green Retail Park is just a short walk or cycle away up Emersons Green Lane, whilst Downend is also nearby which is home to several shops, bars and eateries such as the Duck and Willow Pub, Mocha Lounge and the Beehive Coffee House. This area is very well placed for commuters, with easy access to the A4174, M4, M5 and M32 into the City Centre. There are also regular buses into the city and excellent access to the Bristol & Bath Cycle Path for those who travel by bike. David Lloyd's Leisure Centre is just over a mile away with top of the range leisure, tennis, gym and spa facilities. Further out into the countryside, Dyrham Park, Marshfield Farm (yes, the ice cream makers), or the Wild Place Project are all just fifteen-minutes’ drive away, giving good options for family visits.

Rated as an A for it energy efficiency, this detached home is set apart from others recently built, through its quality of build and size of garden. The house is brilliantly tucked away at the end of a smartly brick-paved driveway. It benefits from a spacious detached garage and off-street parking. The house itself has been finished to a high specification, being lived in by the builder and built to a bespoke level and high specification. Upstairs there are high ceilings throughout, with three bedrooms, an en-suite to the master and a contemporary family bathroom off the landling. The house has underfloor heating throughout, allowing for more wall space and working efficiently with the air source heat pump.

Outside, extra land has been purchased to give this house an especially large garden, ideal for a family looking for space for some football goals, or for owners looking to grow fruit and veg.

The house currently has a complete chain, with the seller motivated for a quick sale.

The new owner will take over 1/3rd directorship of the management company which arranges some communal elements of the small development of three homes. Information is available on current fees associated but this is currently subject to review from the directors.
