This lovely property is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in a convenient location between Westbury-on-Trym and Southmead Hospital.
The sizeable extension combined with the high specification finish has created an exceptional home.
Built in 2009, Whitethorn Vale is a small cul-de-sac made up of just 23 homes.
Extended by the current owners in 2020, the property has changed enormously.
The ground floor now offers a large double aspect lounge which has a door that opens to the kitchen/dining space.
This is a superb room and spans the width of the property.
The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances that include fridge, freezer, oven, hob, dishwasher and wine fridge.
There are quartz worktops and a breakfast bar has been thoughtfully incorporated.
The family space/sun room forms part of the extension and this links seamlessly with the kitchen/diner thanks to its large doors and windows in between.
To ensure the house remains as light as possible, the family space/sun room is filled with natural light thanks to its 'wall of glass', the full width bi-folding doors that open to the garden, plus the skylights.
Off the family space is a utility room and WC - both with underfloor heating.
There is also an additional WC at the front of the house.
Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, with the master room benefitting from an ensuite shower room.
The family bathroom has a feel of luxury to it with its standalone tub and separate shower cubicle. (Both the bathroom and ensuite have underfloor heating)
The loft has been partially boarded and provides excellent storage.
Modifications & upgrades that the owners have undertaken include:
• Reflective triple glazed windows throughout with panoramic windows in the living room, master bedroom and kitchen. All windows in the house have electric privacy blinds
• 3 x Fully electric Velux windows in the roof of the extension (These are rain sensitive so will close automatically when it rains and have electric blinds)
• Extended the window size in the hallway to allow for more light
• Replacement intruder alarm with additional detectors
• Electric Roller door to the garage (was previously up and over)
• Hot Tub and Polycarbonate enclosure (included in sale)
• Polycarbonate covered walkway at the side of the house (this was specifically designed for wheelchair access) and a wide side door opening to the walkway
• 14 solar panels (owned) with 3 batteries in loft (installed January 2023) allows for significantly reduced electricity bills
• Air Conditioning in Summer Room, Living Room and Master Bedroom also operates up as a fan, dehumidifier and heater (Covers the whole house when on)
• EV Charger on driveway (installed Dec 2024) powered by solar
Outside
To the front is a driveway for off road parking and an EV Charge Point.
The garage/store space can be accessed via the electric roller shutter, and a door opens to covered walkway to the side of the house - this in turn opens to the utility room.
(This walkway and utility room was specifically designed to be wide enough to accommodate wheelchair users).
The back garden is a low maintenance space and has been reconfigured since the extension, with additional drainage built in to take away any excess water.
There is a patio that wraps around the house that can be accessed from the bifold doors in the sun room.
There is plenty of room for outdoor furniture, and a hot tub hidden around the corner can be included in the sale.
Artificial turf is beyond the patio and this adds colour to the area.
Composite fencing has been erected to reduce ongoing maintenance.
Location
Whitethorn Vale is a small development that provides easy access to Southmead Hospital (1.2 mile), Westbury-on-Trym with its various cafes, shops & pubs (1.3 mile), as well as Cribbs Causeway with its various shops and leisure outlets (circa 2.7 mile).
There are both primary and secondary schools nearby, as well as local shops, a doctors surgery and dentist.
The city centre can be accessed by bus.
There is plenty of green space on hand including a park across the road, Chakeshill Park, playing fields and Filton Golf Course has public footpaths that provide lovely walks.
The Blaise Castle Estate with its acres of park and woodland is just over 1 mile away.
The proposed arena at the Brabazon development will be within walking distance.
We think...
This is a superb home that has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded to offer any new owner a 'turn key' home.
There is a quality finish throughout and the accommodation has a spacious and versatile feel to it.
