Detail

This extended 1930's home will appeal to families due to its excellent location. There are a number of highly regarded local schools within walking distance including Elmlea Primary which is approx. 425m. It allows easy access to the shops on Stoke Lane, all the amenities in Westbury Village and there is plenty of green space to enjoy. The house has been extended over the years - both on the ground floor and into the loft space, to create a spacious home. It offers balanced accommodation with 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms over the top floor two floors, with the ground floor having 2 separate receptions and a kitchen that has doors that open directly to the garden. You enter into the porch and from here into the main hallway. There are stained glass windows either side of the front door. The lounge is at the front of the house, and the large bay window allows lots of natural light into this room. The back of the house benefits from the extension, so both the dining/family room and the kitchen have gained extra space. The snug/play area that's been created also opens to the kitchen, meaning these are sociable spaces. The kitchen was refitted around 10 years ago and has ample cupboard and worktop space. Patio doors open to the garden. A WC under the stairs completes the ground floor accommodation. As you head upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. 2 of the double bedrooms are spacious and generous in size, with the smaller room having the benefit of a bay window. Previously the bathroom and WC were separate rooms, but these have been combined to create a spacious family bathroom which has underfloor heating. Stairs continue up to the 2nd floor and the master bedroom. This is a great room - it runs front to back and has French doors that open to a balcony. This is big enough for a table & chairs, and is a lovely place to sit and have a morning coffee or an evening G&T whilst taking in the superb views. There is an en-suite shower room, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe. There is also a large storage cupboard on the 2nd floor landing, in addition to eaves storage.

Outside

The back garden has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space on offer. A patio next to the house is perfect for entertaining or simply sitting and enjoying the sunshine - the outdoor lights mean that this can be used throughout the day & evening. The main part of the garden is lawned with the garden having a number of mature shrubs and trees. These provide both privacy and colour to this space. At the bottom of the garden is a summer house that measures 10ft x 7ft8 and is an ideal retreat in the summer evenings, or it could easily be used as a home office if required. To the front is a low maintenance garden plus a driveway for parking. There is a garage next to the house which has light & power, and a door at the rear opens to the back garden.

Location

Downs Cote Drive is an incredibly convenient location and perfect for families looking to access the local schools. Elmlea Primary is approx 425m, whilst it's in catchment for Bristol Free Secondary School. Westbury and Stoke Bishop Primary schools are both nearby, as is Redmaids, Badminton & St Ursula's. The shops and amenities of Stoke Lane are on hand, whilst the village is a short walk and has buses that will take you around the city. Whiteladies Road is approx 1.5 miles away, Southmead Hospital is 2 miles away and Cribbs Causeway with its shops, leisure outlets and the motorway access is within 4 miles. Plenty of outdoor space is on hand including the ever popular Canford Park, Stoke Lodge playing fields and the open expanse of The Downs.

We think...

Downs Cote Drive is always a popular road for families thanks to its excellent location for the schools, shops and transport links. The extended accommodation means that it can be a long-term family home, whist the balcony on the top floor is a lovely feature.
