Built between 1934 and 1935, 7 Avon Grove is a modernist house
designed by architect Mark Hartland Thomas. It is one of only two
known commissions that Hartland Thomas completed in partnership
with his father, Bristol architect Percival Hartland Thomas. This
three storey detached house showcases some of the finest views
Bristol has to offer from its elevated position, nestled away on
the cliff tops of Sneyd Park.
The property has been carefully designed to ensure that the
views are enjoyed by all the principal accommodation, including the
sitting room, dining room, two larger bedrooms, and sun studio, all
of which are positioned on the south elevation of the property.
On the north elevation, the kitchen, bathrooms, secondary
bedrooms, and garage overlook the front garden, drive and hedgerow
boundary wall. Stepping inside, the open plan hallway and sitting
room are located directly opposite and feature impressive wall to
wall and floor to ceiling glass, allowing light to pour into the
space while perfectly framing the views of Leigh Woods and Brunel‘s
suspension bridge in the distance. This space features a striking
double height entrance hall with a straight staircase leading up to
a first floor galleried landing.
Between the hall and the sitting room are the original folding
doors which tuck away neatly. The sitting room includes original
oak shelves and cupboards, along with a small study space with
integrated shelving and a desk.
The kitchen has been modernised in recent years to include gas
hobs, electric ovens, wall and floor mounted cupboards, and drawer
storage, while also retaining its original larders. The first floor
currently consists of four bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a
principal suite complete with a dressing room and en suite
bathroom.
The stairs lead to the sun studio, which features floor to
ceiling and wall to wall glazed windows offering incredible triple
aspect views. A glazed door provides access to the roof, where
there are currently ten solar panels installed.
One of the most noteworthy features of this property is the
circa 120 metre private south facing garden, which is gently tiered
over four to five levels before opening up into woodland.
The property enjoys a paved outdoor terrace that is extremely
private and enjoys much of the day‘s sunshine from its elevated
south facing orientation. The terrace is the perfect place to
entertain or enjoy alfresco dining and sundowners. The gardens are
the perfect place to entertain or simply sitting and unwinding
while taking in the beautiful views.
Beyond the terrace is a gently sloping lawn with manicured
gardens, a greenhouse, and ample room for a pool and sizable
allotments subject to consent.
The property features off street parking for two vehicles as
well as an attached double garage.
