Description

Tucked away within an exceptionally private and leafy setting, this beautifully reimagined two/three bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that feels both tranquil and carefully considered. The current owners have thoughtfully refurbished the property throughout, reworking and reshaping the space to create a home that feels calm, light filled and naturally connected to its surroundings. The result is a truly special property where every detail has been carefully considered and no expense has been spared, allowing the spaces to flow with ease and purpose.

From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of retreat. A welcoming entrance hall leads you through a layout that unfolds organically, setting the tone for the light and openness found throughout the home. To one side sits a flexible reception room, currently used as a lounge, offering a comfortable and adaptable space that could just as easily function as a third bedroom, guest room or home office.

The layout then opens into the heart of the home: a stunning open plan kitchen and living area designed with indoor-outdoor living firmly in mind. Generous glazing and wide sliding doors draw natural light deep into the space while maintaining a constant connection with the garden beyond. A substantial central island forms the focal point of the kitchen, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while roof glazing above enhances the sense of volume and fills the room with ever-changing daylight. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends, the space feels uplifting and welcoming.

Stepping outside, the garden reveals itself as a genuine sanctuary. Elevated and naturally screened by mature trees, shrubs and layered planting, it offers an impressive level of privacy while retaining a wonderfully open outlook. Beyond the greenery runs the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, gently concealed by foliage and adding to the peaceful atmosphere without compromising seclusion. The owners speak fondly of the abundance of nature visible from every room, with the changing seasons bringing shifting colours, textures and wildlife. It is a setting that feels far removed from city life, yet Bristol city centre remains within easy reach at around twenty minutes away.

The bedroom accommodation is quietly positioned to the rear of the property, where two well proportioned double bedrooms enjoy restful views of greenery and open sky. A stylishly appointed bathroom sits between them, completing the internal accommodation with the same thoughtful attention to detail seen throughout the home.

After investing so much care and energy into creating a home that flows so beautifully, the owners note that not a day passes without appreciating the calmness it brings. The softened presence of the cycle path, screened by trees, enhances the feeling of seclusion, while the outlook from every room is filled with seasonal colour and natural beauty.

Further benefits include driveway parking and a useful attached half garage, providing everyday practicality alongside scope for future potential. The property benefits from level access throughout, making it suitable for a wide range of buyers, including those seeking ease of mobility or families planning for the long term. Subject to the usual consents, there is also clear potential for a future loft conversion, offering the opportunity to grow with the property over time.

This is a home that will appeal to a broad audience and offers far more than simple accommodation. It provides a way of living that is peaceful, light filled and deeply connected to nature - a true sanctuary for anyone fortunate enough to call it home.
