6 Bed Detached House For Sale

A substantial country home in truly outstanding 6.454 acre parkland like grounds, tucked away at the head of a long and discreet driveway.


Description

Whilst extremely well placed for swift access to Bristol city centre and the motorway and rail, Bruin Wood is completely hidden from the road being set at the head of an exceptionally long and impressive driveway and occupying a commanding elevated position. The approach sweeps through the generous grounds, past lawns and sloping areas of woodland with an area of paddock and culminated in a turning area to the front and further parking with extensive garaging and parking to the rear.
The well loved family home has been in the same ownership since 1997, whereupon it was completely remodelled and redesigned to create an outstanding home befitting this wonderful location.
Whilst day to day informal access for residents would be via the side entrance, the flight of steps to the front leading into the magnificent reception hallway is certainly creates a striking statement for more formal occasions. The central staircase with galleried landing is a classic detail replicating those often found in country houses from an earlier period.
The house has an uncluttered and simple elegance with both ornate and plain plaster cornicing and many floor to ceiling windows from which to take in the parkland views. The 30’ L-shaped kitchen/ breakfast room is a key feature of the home which offers a terrific degree of flexibility for any future owner – the lower ground floor for example could make a wonderful self-contained annexe for a dependant relative. Likewise, the second floor with a bedroom suite and fitness area could be an fully independent apartment for a teenager. All six principal bedrooms are on the first floor with six bathrooms, including a superb 32’ main suite.

The grounds that surround the property are a fine feature of the home with areas of manicured, level lawns, bluebell woods and a large expanse of terracing perfect for al fresco dining. The lawns are interspersed by a number of ornamental trees with a lovely backdrop of mature specimen trees framing the borders of the estate.
