Description
Quite simply, an opportunity such as this presents itself once in a buyer‘s lifetime. The chance to acquire a pair of stunning family houses in a private and peaceful setting; with state of the art fixtures and fittings, landscaped gardens and grounds, a shared gated drive with an expanse of off-street parking and versatile accommodation of over 8000 sq. ft spread out across two Freehold family houses.
The houses have been built to the highest specification with the aim, quite simply, to bring the outside in. Each room maximises light and space; with bi-folding doors a feature of the ground floor and master bedroom suites, and clever corner windows capturing much of the day‘ sun whilst retaining a high degree of privacy.
They are each sociable, spacious and exceptionally versatile whilst being as private or inclusive as each occupier might wish; connected by the shared driveway to the front and a single door, between garages, on the inside.
Aside from these two touch points the architect designed homes are incredibly private; with landscaped gardens providing year round enjoyment; from the fitted outdoor kitchen in 76a to the almost spa like finish of the outdoor pool and hot tub of 76b.
Each house enjoys an outdoor sauna, whilst 76a has the benefit of detached home office space in the garden.
Inside, every conceivable tech option has been considered with an integrated Loxone smart home automation system controlling the lights, heating (zoned underfloor throughout each house), recessed blinds, media and even the hot tub remotely, at any time of day or night and from anywhere in the world.
Both houses enjoy a double height atrium in the entrance halls, flooding the entrances with natural light and presenting a welcoming light-filled reception space; whilst above are spacious first floor landings with plenty of room for a reading nook overlooking the architectural staircases and looking out into the woods beyond.
In each kitchen there is an oversize island and breakfast bar, creating a sociable space for families of all ages and size to enjoy, connecting seamlessly to the open plan dining and seating areas.
The garden flows out from these spaces truly bringing the outside in; with beautiful birdsong from the trees surrounding the houses belying how well connected to central Bristol these homes are.
Kitchen appliances from high quality providers such as Fisher & Paykel, Quooker and Meile compliment the German designed kitchens, along with integrated wine fridges, a recycling compactor drawer (in 76b) and Insinkerators making life just that little bit easier.
Feature Bell corner gas fires add a focal point and warmth in the winter whilst the MVHR system keeps the air fresh, fully circulated and provides a constant supply of fresh filtered air.
Upstairs, each of the master suites overlook the adjoining woodland and their rear gardens, bringing in the changing colours of the trees with bi-folding doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. They each enjoy his & hers dressing rooms and beautifully fitted en-suite bath and shower rooms.
The remaining guest bedrooms in each house share a mixture of en-suite bath / shower rooms and fitted storage along with a spacious and generous family bathroom; with oversize twin ended bath and oversize shower cubicles.
Throughout the houses are clever storage solutions, including linen cupboards across the first floor landings and coat and boot cupboards within the entrance halls along with numerous Velux windows, many electronically operated and rain sensitive, flooding the transitional spaces with natural light.
Outside
Situated at the very top of Grove Road there is no passing traffic; the houses sitting in a unique plot of circa 0.6 of an acre and bordered by the Blaise Court Estate. Birdsong proliferates and the open views are as uplifting as they are distant.
Each home enjoys its own private outside space, but is accessed by a shared driveway leading down from a gated entrance to an expanse of off-street parking and access to each property‘s circa 500 sq ft garages complete with underfloor heating.
76a has a charming fully enclosed rear garden, accessed both from inside the house as well as from the drive, with steps leading up from the side.
This has been sensitively landscaped to provide year round use with a superb fitted outdoor kitchen, expanse of lawn and a detached home office / play room. The garden swings around to the south elevation presenting a private courtyard with a further children‘s play area and arced timber clad sauna.
76b has an almost zen-like south facing garden and spa facilities; with a beautiful Niveko swimming pool with in-built roller cover and a separate in-ground hot tub, complete with an outdoor hot & cold running shower and access to a infra-red Zoki sauna. A child-safe balustrade runs between the pool and house with a stylish outdoor sitting room, covered to three sides, overlooking the pool and finished with a contemporary outdoor gas fire; a space to be savoured and enjoyed all year round.
Both gardens are lit-up with a high-tech lighting system to provide night moods and there are plenty of water and power connections.
The garden of 76b has also been finished with access to an outdoor gas supply and additional power should a outdoor kitchen be required as well as secure independent access to a side lane leading down to Grove Road.
