Property description

Approached from Haw Lane via a tarmac driveway Foxleaze is accessed via private electric gates with video entry and has extensive parking on a Purbeck block paved driveway – together with an integrated single garage. The house is entered via a solid wooden front door with an engineered oak floor flowing throughout the hallway and into both reception rooms. The ground floor has fully zoned “wet” “Nu-heat” underfloor heating systems, with thermostatic controls to govern individually the temperature in each of the rooms. The principle reception room provides an exquisite space for families of all ages to enjoy and entertain in – with a “Dean Forge” Hembury 5kw wood burning stove providing character and comfort in the winter. Part-glazed double doors lead into the stunning kitchen and dining room which boasts a natural Limestone floor and bi-folding doors open out into the landscaped rear garden. This fabulous home benefits from a bespoke “Sarah Jane” kitchen whose head office is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds in the village of Stonehouse. Running the full width of the main house the kitchen, from the “Aisling” range, is flooded with light, enhanced by the natural stone flooring and Minerva solid stone work surfaces finished in Carrara White. With solid oak drawers finished with dovetail detailing and oak MFC cabinets, the kitchen is further enhanced by a generous Britannia Range cooker; Fisher & Paykel American fridge freezers and Bosch built-in dishwashers as well as double farmhouse style ceramic sinks. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a separate utility room – with a rear door to the garden, access to the garage, further fitted storage and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.On the opposite side of the hallway to the principal reception room is a separate study / family room which could easily double as a fifth bedroom if needed. In addition, the house enjoys the benefit of a ground floor w.c.Throughout the home the property benefits from a Nuaire Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system – this is a whole house ventilation system that both supplies and extracts air throughout a property. It offers a balanced low energy ventilation solution for new dwellings and re-uses up to 95% of the heat that would otherwise have been lost and ultimately reducing your carbon footprint and reducing your energy bills.Over the first floor, accessed via a solid oak staircase, lie four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom lies to the rear – with French doors opening to a “Juliet” balcony and views over the fields to the rear. This is served by a stylish en-suite shower room – complete with a Porcelanosa walk-in shower, low level w.c, washbasin and tiles. Adjacent lies a guest bedroom which also enjoys French doors opening to a Juliet balcony and is equally well-equipped with an en-suite shower room; and two further double bedrooms to the front. These share a wonderful family bathroom complete with a panelled bath, walk-in shower cubicle, “his & hers” sink and vanity unit and a low level w.c. The bathroom and both en-suite shower rooms have the benefit of “Porcelanosa” electric underfloor heating systems, whilst each of the upper floor bedrooms has the benefit of a traditional wet radiator heating system complete with thermostatic controls.OutsideAlong the edge of Haw Lane distinctive “Cock & Hen” stone walling marks the boundary of Foxleaze. A tarmac drive gives access to an individual electric gate with video entry – custom made in cast iron with the property’s name emblazoned within it. The house has generous off-street parking with a Purbeck block paved driveway – and access to a single garage via traditional solid wood double swing doors. Foxleaze has full 360° access with a generous paved terrace to the rear accessed via bi-folding doors leading out from the kitchen – really bringing the outside in – and perfect for families of all ages to safely play in, entertain and dine outdoors. The terraces lead on to an enclosed lawn and distant views over the neighbouring field.SituationOlveston is a pretty and well-established village situated to the north of Bristol, with a range of independent shops including a butcher, a baker and a Post Office – along with The White Hart pub and the pretty church of St. Marys.
