4 bed detached house for sale

Dundry Lane, Dundry, Bristol, Somerset BS41

An impressively extended and exceptionally well presented, four bedroom detached 'Chalet' bungalow, where rural charms meet city convenience. The moment the electric gates open onto the expansive block paved driveway you are immediately enveloped into the high class finishes that are present throughout Sunningdale.

A 'powder coat' grey composite door, with floor to ceiling windows either side open into an exceptionally spacious reception hall, with solid oak flooring fitted, sets the tone of the impressively high standards of finishes we can expect to find throughout and offers ample space for seating or occasional furniture. From here the accommodation flows naturally into both the original 1930s bungalow and the thoughtfully designed later extension. The original but cleverly recrafted accommodation centres around a breathtaking open plan kitchen/living/dining room with exquisite 'heavily pitted' limestone flooring, bespoke crafted kitchen cabinetry to include glass display cabinets and integrated appliances and focal breakfast island, providing fantastic 'day to day' dining space. Quartz worktops continues the theme of excellence, whilst further more formal dining space is available with views out over the front of the property. Adjoining the kitchen is a handy utility room, with further wall and base units, plumbing points for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for more white goods. Leading from the kitchen, the principal bedroom accommodation comprises three generously proportioned double bedrooms, with one being used currently as a dressing room, all served by a beautifully appointed shower room featuring a large walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Returning to the reception hall, a stylish family bathroom is fitted with an elegant roll-top bath with brass fittings, WC and rustic vanity unit with wash hand basin inset. From the entrance hall, double doors open into the magnificent sitting room, undoubtedly one of the property's outstanding features. With aspects to three elevations, this superb reception room is flooded with natural light and provide direct access onto the terrace and gardens beyond via two sets of bi-folding doors, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces. A central fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere during the winter months whilst the generous proportions make it equally suited to entertaining throughout the year.

A staircase rises from the sitting room to an adaptable first-floor guest suite. This versatile space currently comprises a comfortable snug together with a further room, presently arranged as a bedroom beyond an open archway. Offering excellent flexibility, it would be equally well suited as guest accommodation, a teenage retreat, home office or hobby room. Rooflights frame delightful views across the beautifully maintained gardens and neighbouring countryside.

The property is approached through electrically operated gates onto an extensive block-paved driveway providing parking for at least six vehicles but likely many moor. A detached double garage benefits from power, lighting, access from both the front and rear, with electric up and over door to the front and manual up and over door to the rear. The garage currently functions for our vendor as a home gym, whilst still retaining a number of workbenches meaning it can be easily adapted to each individuals needs. Integrated within the garage is a secure storage room.
Similarly to the standards we found within the house, the gardens have been meticulously manicured and extend principally to the south and west, enjoying a high degree of privacy and an attractive outlook across neighbouring fields, creating a distinctly rural feel despite being approximately five miles from Bristol city centre. A raised patio terrace abuts the living room creating a wonderful synergy between inside and out and the perfect spot for outside entertaining. Further seating is available towards the garage with a raised patio with covered pergola, well stocked natural stone planters and electrical power outlet, which currently connects to a hot tube (not included within the sale), the most of idyllic spots to sit back and enjoy the wealth of natural beauty that surrounds you. Beyond here is a further and newly constructed garden room, with bi-folding doors overlooking the adjoining countryside. Predominantly the garden has been laid to expansive areas of level lawn with a smattering of mature trees, established shrubs and well-stocked flower beds, creating a beautiful and peaceful environment. A charming stream meanders through the gardens, crossed by an attractive stone bridge, providing a delightful finishing touch to this exceptional family home.

‘what we love’
We love the fact we are in a semi-rural area, yet close enough to all amenities. It’s privacy, beautiful views, and the vast amounts of space.
