Property description

Peacefully situated behind an elegant pair of electronically controlled gates, at the end of a little known no-through lane in the heart of Leigh Woods, Carlton House is an impressive detached family house, constructed in the late 1980’s but never lived in. This exciting opportunity presents to buyers the chance to acquire a fine and impressive family home, with the opportunity to finish, to their own specification the kitchen, bathrooms and flooring – along with their own style of radiators – with the boilers and pipework already in place. The house appears to be in very good condition and presents a flexible foot print over three floors for an incoming purchaser to fully utilise. One of the key features of the house is the excellent floor space – particularly on the ground floor, where double doors open up from the hallway into the drawing room and dining room – each opening out onto a paved outdoor dining terrace and steps down to the lawn garden. The “kitchen” provides plenty of space for numerous fitted units and an informal dining space, and enjoys views out over both the rear and side gardens. In addition, there is a generous study, separate utility room (with two fitted boilers) and cloak cupboard. Throughout, the house has been finished with Brazilian Mahogany – with finely cut architraves, bespoke doors and a beautiful staircase with elegantly hand-turned spindles. Upstairs, the master bedroom has access out onto a balcony overlooking the garden, and along with bedroom two (which also has access to the balcony) their own en-suite facilities. As per the kitchen below, and family bathroom – the pipework and electrics are in place for these – but they are not fitted.To the front, bedrooms three and four have access to (what will be) a separate family bathroom. Over the top floor are two well-proportioned attic rooms – ideal playrooms / study / gym or cinema room. Subject to consent – windows could be applied for to create one or two further bedrooms. These rooms have access to an abundance of accessible eaves storage, providing substantial internal storage. Outside, the house sits in a quiet and peaceful location - with no passing traffic - at the end of a no-through lane. The gated drive provides parking for several cars, with a detached four car garage providing plenty more space. The garden of Carlton House is laid mostly to lawn, and wraps around the east side of the house and to the rear –catching much of the day’s sun. There are several mature trees – including an impressive mulberry tree –believed to be circa 300 years old.Overall, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a superb family house, and have the chance to finish it to your own specification. It is rare to find a house so close to town with no passing traffic – yet Clifton village is just over Brunel’s suspension bridge – which is some 0.4 miles away – and access to Ashton Court estate is similarly close, and Leigh Woods National Nature Reserve at the end of Bannerleigh Road – with miles of walking and bike trails.
