A well-appointed and substantial, five-bedroom family home situated in an elevated and peaceful corner plot in a prime residential area in Cotham.
17 Arley Hill is a fine example of an attractive, bay fronted early Victorian (circa 1850) family residence that retains a wealth of character and period features including elaborate cornicing, stained glass windows, high ceilings, wooden flooring and original feature fireplaces. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout and extending to around 2300 sq ft, this versatile family home provides a wonderful environment to dine and entertain family and friends and is arranged over three traditional floors.
The ground floor comprises a large and welcoming hallway, stunning bay fronted living room with wood burning stove and a separate dining room with working, period feature fireplace and original dresser. The real hub of the home is the bespoke Neptune kitchen / breakfast room which includes well-specified integrated appliances, granite work tops, Rangemaster cooker, breakfast bar seating and natural stone flooring. In addition, there is a superb utility / boot room, useful guest cloakroom / laundry space and access to the cellar which provides further comprehensive storage.
On the first floor lies three generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from attractive period features with one having extensive built-in fitted wardrobes and another bedroom having a superb, designer en-suite. A stylish family bathroom with roll top bath completes the first floor accommodation and on the top floor can be found a further bedroom and occasional fifth bedroom / study.
Externally, the property sits within a sizeable plot flanked on three sides and is extremely private and secure. This landscaped oasis consists of manicured lawns, secluded paved patio areas and features a variety of established trees and shrubs which afford the house its incredible privacy. To the rear can be found a rare, detached garage with power and light and electric roller shutter door.
Arley Hill is within close proximity to Gloucester Road and Whiteladies Road which provides easy access to many vibrant cafes, shops, bars and restaurants. The BRI, Bristol University, Redland Train Station and Cotham Gardens are also easily accessible. Furthermore, both Clifton and the Harbourside are within close proximity with the beautiful green open spaces of the Durdham Downs just beyond. Schooling is well catered for with Cotham Garden Primary School and Cotham School both within 0.5 miles, subject to catchment each year. In addition, Bristol Grammar School, Redland High School and Clifton College are all within easy reach, making the area extremely popular for families.
