Description
Unrivalled Quality and attention to detail underpin the family values of this property with the latest home technology bringing you right up to date with the 21st century. Gloucester Lodge is the vision of noted developer Geoff Milton who has taken the circa 60 years of experience and know-how and invested into the design and finish with no expense spared. Gloucester Lodge offers decadence and style whilst keeping the comforts of home at the heart of its design ethos and delivers on every level of its owner’s vision to create a home that will meet the high expectations of discerning buyers. Whether it be for entertaining busy professionals, a growing family or a peaceful retreat to enjoy the long days at home, this stunning residence is sure to inspire its new owners by being rest assured that they are the first to experience all the new features and fittings.

The approach to Gloucester Lodge takes curb appeal very seriously and does not disappoint, using impressive Tudor design ques from the exposed beams that give the home its distinctive look, to the Limestone drive that compliments the shrub and ornamental borders giving a formal, urban landscape feel to the enclosed front drive. The suggestion of a glazed balcony, Orangery and bi folding doors when passing Gloucester Lodge captures the imagination of what lies beyond the front door, and at dusk the garden lighting merges with the internal illumination to create a spectacular show of light that enhances the impressive features.

Upon entry, the home instantly radiates the quality and finish that you would expect from its impressive demeanour, with porcelain tiles leading you through the home and practical design additions such as a workstation overlooking the courtyard garden, coupled with a cloakroom and a vaulted stairwell. The lounge is one of many points you truly appreciate the lengths to which the homes attention to detail has been taken, to create the perfect balance of light and space that merges seamlessly between the dual outdoor areas to combine with the internal features of the property. The Ornate strapped plaster ceiling designed by Moran and Wheatley runs through the home and is anchored by a central fireplace with Mandarin Stone porcelain floor tiles that are gently warmed by the underfloor heating. The Oak Orangery off the lounge offers a second reception that is the perfect space to relax and unwind, whether it be with friends or family, summer or winter the natural light of this room combined with the warm glow of the floor and down lighting transitions perfectly with both the alfresco garden and dining room that leads off this feature filled room. The bespoke Oak kitchen has been handmade and fitted to perfection with all the integral hallmarks and features you would come to expect from a property of this calibre.

Externally the home has taken the available space to the next level in creating idyllic outside retreats that merge seamlessly with the internal living spaces. The two gardens offer versatility of use whether it be a tranquil break away space to enjoy through the day or for hosting an evening dinner party with friends and family, both the Secret and Alfresco gardens are electric in their ambiance and will deliver in keeping their owners happy and guests inspired. The Ballen Stone paving, French Oak timber Pagoda and external lighting combine with the outdoor preparation areas and seating to create exciting living spaces day and night. The open fire/BBQ area in the Alfresco Garden with the back to back chimney to the lounge takes centre stage rising above the property and creating an impressive focal point for the home.

The first floor continues the premium finish and detailing with four bedrooms set over two floors. The master bedroom, as to be expected is the show piece to the sleeping quarters with its own dressing area, split level ensuite with designer bathroom, built in bay seats and headboards and beautiful oak balcony that offers views to the front aspect of the home. The visual impact created by the combination of spaces will be enjoyed long into the future. The second bedroom with designer ensuite competes for your attention with white oak engineered floors, built in cupboards and bespoke fitted headboards. The third bedroom is accessed via spiral stairwell, adding a sense of fun to the first floor, with stunning views and its own ensuite, the guest bedroom and bathroom complete the first floor layout without compromise on finish or quality.

A unique design feature to Gloucester Lodge is the versatility of the West Wing of the home. An independent stairwell leads from the master bedroom to a further ground floor reception area that has full width bi folding doors to the drive, its own shower room and substantial utility room. This space has been designed to accommodate a wealth of potential living spaces, from a gym and games room, or a large office space with separate staff access for those looking to move their business closer to home, the space can also accommodate vehicle parking with the floor being engineered to hold most luxury vehicles. With its own independent ground floor access there is real opportunity for the West Wing to be turned into an annexed living accommodation for those looking to bring wider families together, with the utility room fully prepped for conversion to a kitchen should the need arise. The layout has been thoughtfully laid out to keep the right balance of independent living if required, whilst ensuring the space remains connected and integral to the home if not, via a ground floor hallway connecting back to the main house.

Gloucester Lodge is located within the popular village of Frenchay, and offers quick and easy access to local motorways, M32, M4 and M5, excellent transport links including Metro Bus and Parkway train station and a short drive into Bristol City Centre. Frenchay has a rich and varied history, dating back to 1600's and made popular in the 18th century when wealthy local merchants and landowners chose to build their manors in Frenchay, due to its beautiful local scenery. And with the Frome Valley and Frenchay Common serving as the back stop to the village, it’s easy to understand why, with its stunning walks along the Frome River and open spaces to explore, all within a short walk of Gloucester Lodge.<br /><br />
