Cheyne Road | Stoke Bishop
For Sale
For sale for the first time since 1965, a much-loved detached family home located on one of Stoke Bishop’s most sought-after tree-lined private roads. Set within generous gardens to both the front and rear (latter being south-west facing) and further benefiting from ample off-street parking and integral garage.A happy, peaceful home built in the 1950’s and having been significantly extended, enjoying an abundance of original character and many period features. Situated in a quiet, leafy and uncrowded neighbourly road with a tranquil semi-rural atmosphere yet offering the convenience of local shops and excellent bus connections to central areas and Cribbs Causeway just at the end of the adjoining Stoke Paddock Road. The green open space of nearby Stoke Lodge and the proximity of the extensive woods and parkland of the Blaise Castle Estate are ideal for walkers. Whilst it has been a cherished home for a large family, it offers glorious potential to extend and re-design to one's own preferences, subject to first obtaining the necessary consents. In recent years, houses in the vicinity have undergone significant investment and improvement partly due its unique location off a quiet private road of substantial properties. The house is now being sold with no onward chain. Ground Floor: entrance porch, entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, living room, sitting room, sunroom, separate wc, side hall, inner hall. First Floor: part galleried landing, 4 double bedrooms (two with en-suite shower rooms), bathroom, separate wc, inner hall. Access to large loft space. Outside: off-street parking for three cars, integral garage, front garden, level lawned rear garden measuring 82ft x 55ft, offering privacy and a sunny south westerly orientation with plenty of afternoon/evening summer sunshine. An enviable home of quality set in beautiful, generous gardens. You are in the city, but it feels like you are in the country. Opportunities like this are seldom available especially in this location, and whilst in the fullness of time one might decide to re-imagine the house, it is not a necessity having and a more sympathetic upgrade would be perfectly possible.
