House For Sale £475,000
"We’ve loved living in Admiral Close, it was the woodland behind that originally drew us to the house, but there has been far more to the area than that. Being able to be in the park in seconds is such a privilege, the view over the city from the BT tower is spectacular, particularly on balloon festival weekend, it’s the spot to be! The Metrobus was a revelation, it really opened up the city, from the front door to the Hippodrome is easily achievable in 20 minutes, great for an impromptu dinner any day of the week.
The Close itself is really quiet, with a super friendly atmosphere, you feel tucked away and secluded, particularly in the peace of the garden where we’ve spent a lot of time the last 18 months. Another key draw for us was getting that feel while being 5 minutes from the motorway, it’s great being able to hop in the car and be on a Devon beach in just over an hour or seeing family in the Midlands in a couple. Parkway being so close also means London is easily doable in an hour and a half, something we’ve done regularly. Taking the decision to move from the home where we have invested so much time and care as well as the area is not one we have taken lightly, we have truly enjoyed our time here and we are positive the next owners will feel the same."
With one of the best settings in Stoke Park, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home is nestled on the edge of the protected woodland. The local area is what puts this home above the rest. Surrounded by the 267 acres of Stoke Park, designed by Thomas Wright, there is a diversity of open space, woodland and the Duchess Pond in the view of the 16th Century Dower House. Also in the woodland is the grade II listed Hermitage Tunnel and on the top of the ridge, Purdown Percy, a fascinating wwii relic and scheduled monument. The park is home to an abundance of wildlife, including badgers, rare birds, deer and foxes. If you are in want of more space, Snuff Mills, part of the Frome Valley Walkway and one of Bristol's most beautiful spots is a short stroll away. There are a range of sports & activities to partake in, including Downend & Frenchay Tennis Club, Bristol Golf Centre, multiple rugby clubs, as well as the Holiday Inn’s gym & swimming pool facilities. The government has invested heavily into the area’s infrastructure, with improved road and rail links plus £250 million being spent on express bus routes that take you out towards Cribbs Causeway in fifteen minutes and into the city in eight, where you can experience a show at the Hippodrome or the highly regarded, We The Curious. If you cycle, the Bristol to Bath cycle path is close by, where you can enjoy a scenic and wonderfully flat 25-mile round trip along the old trainline. Numerous supermarkets are close by, including Sainsburys, Asda and Lidl, plus there is scope to order Spanish and Italian cuisines from and . Within walking distance are a number of restaurants and takeaways, including an extremely highly rated Chinese and Indian. But a few minutes’ walk away is Stoke Gifford Retirement Village, which boasts a fitness suite, library, Bistro that is ideal for socialising, as well as a village hall acting as a multipurpose activity space.
Bordering Hermitage Wood in a quiet and peaceful pocket of Stoke Park is this four bedroom detached home. Upon entry, you are met by a spacious entrance hall that leads through to the living room. The living room flows into the dining room, which can be separated if you prefer by large folding doors, making this an ideal social or relaxing space. The kitchen features quartz countertops with an integrated dishwasher and has an arched entrance to the utility room which incudes a second sink, the boiler, and space for a washing machine and dryer.

In addition, a family bathroom offers a large spa-bath and separate shower.
