4 bed house for sale in North Road, Bristol (ref: 264190)

This is a property that can truly be said, without exaggeration, to have it all. And it is rare that homes like this come to the market. The lifestyle it offers simply cannot be bettered.

The best of all worlds.

The location itself is extraordinary. On the one hand it's within walking distance of Clifton Village with its vibrant mix of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and bars. This makes it equally convenient for a number of extremely prestigious independent schools. The city centre is easily commutable and travelling further afield is equally convenient with junction 19 of the M5 a short distance away and great road links to Bristol International Airport just 8 miles away.

Having said that, the local environment is such that you may struggle to leave. The property is set on the site that was the botanical gardens of Bracken Hill House, an elegant Victorian mansion originally built by the prosperous family (founders of the famous tobacco firm of WD and HO Wills). It is one of just six homes in a gated community that has exclusive use of these old botanical gardens and peaceful woodland.

Step outside these idyllic environs and you find yourself in Leigh Woods nature reserve. Meandering footpaths and cycleways lead you to the remains of an iron age hill fort, the thickly wooded slopes of Nightingale Valley and the stunning vistas of the Avon Gorge. A couple of minutes' walk in the other direction and you are in the wide open spaces of Ashton Court with its sweeping views, extensive cycle paths and ample space for picnics, rambles and numerous popular festivals.
