5 bed detached house for sale

Knole Park, Almondsbury BS32

‘Knole Edge’ is a beautiful character home within the exclusive private address of Knole Park. This substantial house sits within generous gardens overlooking an open green, the focal point at the heart of this community of several unique homes occupying the grounds of a former manor house, built on the site of an ancient hillfort overlooking the Severn Estuary. We understand the house was built in the 1930’s, designed to look older in the ‘arts and crafts’ style of architecture - features include a multi-faceted roof and interesting chimneys, with stone-faced elevations. It sits in lovely mature gardens with a westerly-facing rear aspect, level lawned areas adjacent to the house and a large terrace - ideal for 'al-fresco' entertaining. The grounds extend to circa one acre - including the sloping wooded area at the rear, the driveway/parking and a substantial detached garage/workshop. Stepping inside, one is greeted by a grand panelled hallway with a galleried staircase and landing. To the left, a substantial drawing room and to the right the formal dining room – each with distinctive features and fireplaces. There is a smart and spacious kitchen/dining/family room with space for every day dining, a utility room and a cloakroom. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, plus a fifth ‘box’ room, the family bathroom, a separate shower room and a WC. The north-east bedroom is of an excellent size, with ample space to accommodate en-suite facilities, should someone so desire. Doors open out from the galleried landing onto a covered balcony overlooking the rear garden, with views towards the Welsh Hills in the distance. Practical benefits, completed within recent years, include a thorough roof overhaul and double-glazing with complementary ‘leadwork’ tying in with the overall character. A very desirable and special home, ready for a discerning new owner to take stewardship onwards into the 21st century. And if you are looking for a quick move, there is no onward chain!
