3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Church Road, Abbots Leigh, Bristol, BS8

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom, former estate worker's cottage, situated on a non through road in the exclusive setting of Church Road, Abbots Leigh. Offered for sale for the first time in fifty years and with no onward chain.

Summary Of Accommodation - This charming, semi detached early Edwardian cottage, built in 1903 has been in the same family ownership for some fifty years and now offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to occupy a fantastic semi-rural home situated in an extremely desirable residential location. The cottage has an enviable rural outlook to the rear, over neighbouring farmland towards the tree line of Leigh Woods. The stone cottage has good sized rooms and retains some original features giving an incoming purchaser the chance to maximize its potential and put their own stamp on it through modernization. The property has been extended to the rear, and also offers great scope to create further accommodation within the attic/loft level which is accessed via an existing staircase (subject to obtaining any necessary consents). Outside, the property offers driveway car parking to the frontage, as well as a stunning well established 100ft rear garden with a Southerly aspect, that overlooks and adjoins open farmland and countryside directly behind.

Location - Abbots Leigh is regarded by many as one of the most sought-after villages on the outskirts of Bristol. An active village community enjoys the use of its own Church, public house, acclaimed Bikeshed café, recreational field and village hall all being within quarter of a mile of the property. Clifton Village is situated approximately two miles away across Isambard Kingdom Brunel's world-famous Suspension Bridge and the city centre is approximately three and a half miles distant. Junction 19 of the M5 gives access to the UK motorway network and can be found within four miles and Bristol International Airport around eight miles. A variety of beautiful walks including Abbots Pool, Leigh Woods and The Avon Gorge (in itself a designated area of special scientific interest and natural beauty) are on offer quite literally from the doorstep.
