Property description

36 Druid Hill is situated in an elevated position, discreetly enclosed by a stone boundary wall and mature conifers. There are local shops and restaurants to be found nearby, both at the bottom of Stoke Hill (0.1 mile), on Stoke Lane (0.5 miles) and across the Downs in Whiteladies Road (1.4 miles), with Clifton Village just over 2 miles away. Larger shopping centres can be found not much further afield in the City Centre at Cabot Circus, and at The Mall near Cribbs Causeway. Transport links are excellent, with the motorway networks being easily accessed at J18a of the M5 just over 3 miles away. Temple Meads (6 miles) provides regular rail services to London and beyond. Bristol Airport is just over 11 miles away.The area is well served for schools, which include Clifton College, Badminton School, Clifton High School, Bristol Grammar School, Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital and Bristol Free School. Extensive sporting facilities can be found at the David Lloyd centres in Westbury on Trym and Long Ashton, along with many miles of wooded walking and bike trails in nearby Leigh Woods and Ashton Court – not to mention the 400 acres of The Downs accessed at the top of Stoke Hill.Vendor InsightNumber 36 Druid Hill is a beautiful home that occupies a prime location in the affluent suburb of Stoke Bishop, just minutes from the Downs and Bristol Zoo, and around 10 minutes into the city centre. The house was built in 1923 and purchased by the current owners a little over twenty-five years ago. “I’d describe this as quite a unique property,” says Ian, “and I think I’d go so far as to say that there’s probably nowhere quite like it in Stoke Bishop in terms of its outlook and situation. The house is quite spacious and sits on a generous-sized plot with a patio that wraps around two sides, plus a sizeable garden that is on two levels, with terraces going down to the lower lawn. The views over Stoke Bishop are stunning. We’re just moments from the hustle and bustle, but it’s as if we’re in our own tranquil little environment here.”The house is very light, and even at night never feels dark, with light from outside. This beautifully presented home has wonderfully spacious rooms and a layout that is ideal for contemporary living. “The previous owner had fully renovated the property before we purchased it,” continues Ian, “so over the years, structurally we haven’t had to do a thing to it, we’ve simply kept the décor in very good order. It’s a very comfortable house that despite its generous proportions also has a really cosy feel throughout.” “We have patio doors that lead out from the lounge onto a very pleasant south-facing terrace area, which is dying for a conservatory to be added” says Ian, “and from there, a few steps lead down to the lawn that gently slopes away from the house with a small wooded/shrub area. It’s a beautiful space that feels very secluded.”
