For Sale
GUIDE PRICE RANGE: £1,000,000 - £1,1,00,000A most appealing and recently renovated, non-listed, 5 double bedroom, 2 bath/shower room, Georgian period family house, of circa 2,775 sq. ft., offering both stylish and spacious accommodation with vast open-plan kitchen family entertaining space with wide sliding doors onto landscaped rear garden. Set behind a long front garden offering driveway parking and tandem double garage, ideally located in this beautiful semi-rural location just minutes from Clifton Village. To be sold with no onward chain making a prompt move possible. A development known as Longwood was originally built, we understand, as a barracks by Napoleonic prisoners of war in around 1840. Later, we understand, in Victorian times it was an asylum and, in 1950, the whole property was converted into 10 individual homes, each having their own private gardens. It was called Longwood, incidentally, after Napoleon who died in exile at Longwood on the island of St Helena. The property enjoys a private entrance with large terrace and an extensive driveway flanked on either side by level lawns and well stocked borders plus clipped hedging. There are double vehicular wooden gates to the side of the property with under archway access to the tandem double garage. The present owners have updated the property during their stewardship, harmoniously blending an abundance of period features with stylish contemporary additions. To highlight but a few: fully refurbished kitchen, including removal of a structural pillar, installation of underfloor heating, Anthracite Origin triple paned sliding doors, Smeg range cooker, undercounter wine cooler, and a new dishwasher; installation of new windows to the front and timber composite front door; installed a new boiler and new radiators on the ground and first floor; installed wood burner to sitting room; new carpets for the stairs, landing and first floor bedrooms; newly installed bath/shower room on the second floor; new roof to the back and front roof refurbished using Welsh slate, maintaining the period look and also the same of the archway with 25 year guarantee; NICEIC electrical certificate dated 16 April 2026; large patio created to front of house; installation of electric garage door and side access door, and created a wine cellar to one end.
