About this property

A detached house in a private setting with considerable potential and 2.34 acres of gardens.

The house occupies a charming and discrete position in heart of the conurbation of Alveston. It is accessed down a long, private, gated drive and the house cannot be seen from the road, giving complete privacy.
The house is believed to have been built for Mrs Commeline, a wealthy member of the local eminent family in the 1930’s and was clearly designed and built to a very high standard. The house remains true to this original design and whilst it has been updated through the years, it has retained its original layout and spirit.
Approaching the house from the front, you will see its charming symmetrical design with striking Flemish bond red brick, under a pitched roof. The house enjoys a pleasant layout with good flow and excellent views from all windows. Many of the ground floor rooms are panelled which adds to the warmth and grandeur and there are a plethora of large windows allowing good light to these rooms.
The first floor also enjoys a welcoming landing with access to all five bedrooms and a separate bathroom and WC.

Outside
The house is beholden only to its wonderful location. At the head of a long, private, gated drive it sits well within its large plot and enjoys wonderful grounds.
The current owners have spent over 40 years creating a mix of well-stocked formal gardens as well a mature and romantic woodland complete with a meandering walkway.
There is a large double garage with workshop to the rear as well as two further brick built outbuildings.
The tennis court (in need of some repair) is located to the periphery of the plot and could easily be re-instated or replaced.

Situation
Alveston is a popular village on the cusp of the large town of Thornbury. Alveston is a well-regarded community and is well served with local facilities including pubs, village shops, takeaways, post office, primary and secondary schools, village hall and cricket club. It is much loved as it offers countryside living, with many excellent walks nearby, yet is only is 1 miles from the market town of Thornbury which has many amenities, shops, restaurants, supermarkets and schools. Bristol city centre is only 14 miles away and Bristol Parkway (with high speed trains to London in 72 minutes) is 8 miles away.
