5 Bed Detached house Sold

Believed to date from 1805, and a much-loved family home for over 20 years, The Laurels provides well balanced and substantial accommodation over 2 storeys, with large rooms throughout. The property is set back off the A38 Bristol Road, with ample gravelled parking and screened by mature trees and hedges, conveniently situated for access to Bristol and beyond.

The entrance lobby provides a useful coat/boot storage area and access to the downstairs cloakroom, and opens directly into the large dining room that has recently been updated and refurbished, creating a very stylish, flexible space to suit a variety of needs. Smart, recessed cupboards to one corner provide storage and neatly conceal the boiler, and there are lovely views to the large garden dining terrace. An oak staircase to the other corner leads to the first floor, and a nearby door opens into the very spacious sitting room with a wide stone inglenook fireplace with flagstone hearth and wood burner, and attractive ceiling cornices.
Light pours in through the 2 large windows overlooking the front of the house.

The kitchen off the dining room has been recently refurbished to include a good range of grey wooden base units, providing excellent storage and neat, clean lines. Integrated appliances include 2 ovens and a 5-ring gas hob with overhead extractor, along with a dishwasher. Two windows provide lovely garden views and a large pantry area off the main kitchen accommodates good storage in addition to space for a fridge/freezer. To the far end of the kitchen a door leads to the very large utility/laundry/boot room, fitted with a sink and storage units and space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. A door to one end provides
access on to the dining terrace and garden beyond.

Open tread wooden stairs lead up from the utility room to a very large room that could be used as bedroom 5 or perhaps a family/play/games room or an office to work from home. A door to the far end leads to bedroom 4, a spacious double with beamed ceiling, that has direct access to the smart family bathroom, fitted with a large shower enclosure in addition to a bath. Another door from the bathroom opens onto the main landing off which there are 3 further generous double bedrooms, 2 of which have decorative character fireplaces.

Outside - from the front parking area the garden leads around to the back, passing a side garden area with a large shed and wood store. The rear garden is neatly arranged, with a large block paved terrace running across the back of the house, an ideal place for alfresco dining and entertaining or to simply sit and enjoy the surroundings. Shallow stone steps lead to the lawned area bordered by a low stone wall, with various trees and shrubs.
