4 bed detached house for sale

Ridgeway Road, Long Ashton, Bristol BS41

A charming, extended, 1920s, detached house, full of character, with four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, integral garage, driveway, views and gardens to the front and rear garden. The rear garden is fabulous, with a lovely leafy backdrop.

This property is located on Ridgeway Road, one of the most desirable roads in Long Ashton, high up enough to get the views, but within easy reach of the local village amenities, schools etc. It is also in a fortunate position on Ridgeway Road, as there isn’t a house directly opposite. It therefore benefits from wonderful, far-reaching views, out to the countryside and hills beyond Long Ashton.

On the ground floor, the original part of the house consists or a central hallway, with a bay-fronted sitting room to the front of the house, overlooking the front garden, and a dining room and kitchen to the rear, now semi-open-plan, overlooking the rear garden. Extensions have added a good-sized porch, a ground floor WC, the integral garage and a lovely sunroom, overlooking the garden.

Upstairs, the extended, central landing area provides direct access to all the upstairs rooms. The two-storey side extension has added a larger bathroom, plus a separate shower room. There are now four bedrooms. Three of which are in the original part of the house, now all good-sized doubles (the original bathroom space was incorporated into what would have been the smaller third bedroom, now a good-sized, dual-aspect, double bedroom), plus a fourth bedroom/study within the extension on the other side, at the front.

All four bedrooms enjoy very pleasant, private, leafy outlooks. The two bedrooms to the front have the far-reaching views, out to the countryside beyond Long Ashton, and the two to the rear have very green, leafy views, over the gorgeous garden and all the trees that surround it.

Outside, the rear garden is a fantastic size and offers a variety of spaces to enjoy, including a patio, lawns, flower beds and borders, areas for growing fruit and vegetables, even an area for chickens currently, plus a pond, a raised, decked seating area and a super summerhouse/studio, as a useful, extra, multi-purpose, peaceful space. There are various trees and shrubs/plants/ flowers spread throughout the various sections of garden. This is clearly a house and garden that has provided a lot of pleasure to the current owners and will to the next owners.

Early viewing of this special property is strongly recommended.

Long Ashton

Long Ashton is particularly well-positioned, between the city of Bristol and the open countryside of North Somerset. The village is surrounded by fields, woods and golf courses. It also benefits from a David Lloyd Leisure Complex and the Ashton Court Estate at one end of the village, and at the other, Gatcombe Farm Shop and Ashton Hill.

Residents enjoy the convenience of a local Post Office, pharmacy, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, barbers, vets, Co-op supermarket, three/four pubs, the renowned Little Tipple, The Old Library (now a modern cafe/bar/pizzeria) and a local bakery.

There are two highly regarded primary schools within Long Ashton (Birdwell Primary School and Northleaze Primary School), as well as a choice of independent schools and secondary schools within easy reach.

The Long Ashton Village Hall, Café and Community Centre provide a hub for community activities/groups and a venue for the village market. Plus, there are playgrounds, a football pitch, a bowling green, tennis courts and a cricket club, along with local parks and woodlands to enjoy.

Bristol's Harbourside is only 2 or 3 miles away, while Clifton and central Bristol are only 3 or 4 miles from Long Ashton.

This is a fantastic location, between the city and the countryside, with a thriving village community and plenty of village amenities, yet so close to the wonderful city of Bristol!
