Ivywell Road, Bristol, BS9

A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial family residence in one of Bristol's most sought after locations, where 400 acres of Durdham Downs practically becomes your front garden. The property offers flexible accommodation and affords significant potential to truly place your mark on this wonderful home.

Originally dating back to the 19th Century, the property has been carefully and sympathetically extended and improved over the years to create this deceptively spacious family home. In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises spacious entrance hall, dining room, sitting room, study/bedroom three, cloakroom, kitchen, office and sun room. Credit must go to the current owners who have managed to retain and maintain a wealth of character features in the ground floor principle rooms including both wall and ceiling panelling as well as a stone mullion fireplace. With the dining room and sitting room being open plan, both ends of the room a beautifully bathed in natural light, whilst the later also enjoys unspoilt views out into the beautiful rear garden. Abutting the sitting room is a study, the could equally be altered to create a further bedroom and en-suite facilities with views out of the rear garden. Returning to the front of the home, the kitchen has been fitted with a good level of wall, draw and base units, display cabinets and additional space for freestanding white goods. Adjoining the kitchen is a sun room/breakfast room, whilst on the other side of the entrance hall is a further office area.

From the entrance hall, a spiral staircase leads down into a wine cellar and large basement, with separate access from the driveway. The basements is an incredibly useful storage area at this moment, however could be converted into additional accommodation space, cinema room or gym subject to gaining the relevant consents.
On the first floor are two bedrooms a family bathroom and en-suite. Bedroom one is an impressively generous double room, with integrated wardrobe space, and elevated platform bay window boasting some of the most un-spoilt views of The Downs you could wish to find. The en-suite consists panelled bath with shower over, WC and vanity unit with wash/hand basin inset. Bedroom two is again a double room benefiting from integrated wardrobe space, with views overlooking the rear garden. The family bathroom has been fitted to include a walk in shower cubicle, WC and pedestal sink. Planning permission has recently been granted, to convert the loft space to create two further bedrooms, family bathroom and dormer extension.

To the front of the property electric gates open on to a large shingled driveway, with ample parking for at least four cars, all of which has been enclosed by wall and hedge boarders. The driveway continues along the North Westerly boundary to a covered carport and single garage, with gated access then available into the rear garden. The rear garden is a little slice of paradise in this already idyllic spot. From the sitting room a large raised patio leads down onto a level lawn garden, surrounded by an array of mature, trees hedging and shrubs. From here, a raised terraced centres around an outdoor swimming pool and former 'pool house/garden room'.
