Church Road, Abbots Leigh, Bristol, BS8

A quintessential English country cottage situated in one of Bristol s most exclusive residential locations, surrounded by open countryside, yet only a few moments from the fashionable suburb of Clifton.

Summary of accommodation

April Cottage offers accommodation totalling around 3,100 square feet including four bedrooms (two en-suite) and a detached double garage with generous loft storage over. The property has served as a longstanding family home and has been tastefully improved and extended under the current ownership to offer a wealth of charm and character. One of the most predominant features of this beautiful home are the stunning landscaped gardens that look over stunning open countryside directly behind. The gardens form quite a picture being manicured and well-stocked with a rich variety of mature trees and established shrubs. The house occupies an overall plot of just under quarter of an acre that includes a large lawned frontage and patio area to the rear that encapsulates the aforementioned rural views. There is also ample, gated driveway car parking that offers easy access to the garaging. The property was acquired in 2002 by the current owners and underwent a comprehensive program of modernisation and refurbishment soon after their acquisition. Throughout the comfortable accommodation there is a consistently high standard of presentation with a calming blend of natural materials and neutral decor. This compliments some charming features such as a most welcoming, galleried entrance hall, with exposed roof trusses to the landing above, arears of some stone and oak flooring and fireplaces to the living room and kitchen complete with log burners. Each room offers extremely uplifting, rural outlooks, most notably the dual aspect living room that has particularly pleasing views towards Leigh Woods in the southeast. April Cottage offers the perfect solution for those wishing to escape the city, aspiring to upsize with family or perhaps even those downsizing without.
