4 bed detached house for sale

Hillside, Portbury BS20

If you are seeking a home that offers both individuality and exceptional versatility, Hillside presents a rare and compelling opportunity.

Nestled within the charming village of Portbury-where a picturesque church, well-regarded primary school and welcoming public house are all within an easy stroll-the property enjoys a quintessential village setting. Importantly, it also sits on the favourable side of the motorway for swift access into Bristol and the ever-popular Clifton village, renowned for its eclectic mix of independent boutiques, cafés, bars and restaurants. This strategic position allows for effortless commuting, while preserving the peace, privacy and community feel of village life.

The property has been thoughtfully configured to take full advantage of its elevated position and surrounding countryside, with the principal living accommodation arranged on the first floor. This level provides a bright and expansive environment, ideally suited to both modern family living and entertaining. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a generous sitting room, where large windows frame attractive open views, creating a light-filled and inviting space. The adjoining conservatory offers a seamless connection to the garden, providing an additional reception area that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

At the heart of the home lies a well-appointed kitchen/dining room, fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry and quality work surfaces, alongside ample space for dining and social gatherings. Designed with practicality in mind, the layout flows effortlessly, making it ideal for both everyday use and hosting. A separate utility room-generous in size and previously utilised as a bedroom-adds further flexibility, catering to a range of lifestyle needs.

Also located on the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which is currently arranged as a study, offering an ideal work-from-home solution. These are served by a stylishly fitted family bathroom.

The ground floor accommodation continues the theme of versatility, comprising two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a dedicated dressing area and a spacious en-suite shower room, creating a private and well-balanced suite that lends itself perfectly to modern living or multi-generational requirements.

Externally, the property is equally appealing. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the integral garage. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with a variety of spaces designed to maximise enjoyment throughout the day. A private and sunny side garden offers a level lawn, raised planting beds and a generous patio area-perfectly suited for al fresco dining and entertaining. The mature planting provides both colour and privacy, enhancing the overall sense of seclusion.
