5 bedroom house

The building plot has consent (20/P/2223/FUL) for the demolition of the existing fire damaged dwelling and rebuilding of a new dwelling of the same size and style on the same footprint.

It is a stunning plot and rare indeed to find a plot of this size in a private mainly walled and wooded setting with a gated long approach. The site adjoins the Ashton Court Estate and on the south side it overlooks its ha-ha and over part of the city towards Dundry Hill. There is a further outbuilding, close to its gated entrance, which could provide further ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. To the right of the drive is a disused walled swimming pool complex which is in need of renovation.

The present plans, designed by award winning CAD Design of Cornwall, total in all about 3,310 sq ft (307.5 sq m) gross internal area. The current design shows a contemporary open plan style on the ground floor with many windows, decking and terraces, designed to take advantage of its exceptional setting and to maximise the view. The living room and dining room interconnect and there are three further rooms, one which could be a further bedroom.

The open plan feel continues on the first floor with a further reception area. There is the principal bedroom with dressing rooms and en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms with en-suite facilities and a further three rooms, one designed to be a study, which have the use of a family bathroom.

Outside, the plots sits in about 2.01 acres (0.81 hectares). A further 17.52 acres (7.09 hectares) of pasture and woodland forms Lot 2 which is available by separate negotiation.

Leigh Woods is one of the most highly sought after residential areas in Bristol. The site enjoys an elevated southerly aspect with spectacular views over parts of Bristol and beyond.

Bristol provides a good selection of schools including Clifton College, Clifton High School, QEH, Bristol Grammar School and Badminton School for Girls. Other schools in the surrounding area include The Downs School at Wraxall.
