We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire such a sizable and privately situated house in this popular village on the very outskirts of Bristol.
Failand Heights offers a truly private setting behind automated entrance gates with an impressive driveway approach and some 6279 square feet of accommodation within.
Summary Of Accommodation - This impressive detached house has served the current owners as a happy, longstanding family home for some fifty four years during which a notable amount of importance has been attached to some luxurious leisure facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool complex (16.6 x 8.2 metres) meters and a 8.45 x 6.1 metre full size snooker room!
Additionally, an open plan kitchen/dining space spans 9.2 x 8.1 meters with direct access to a private south westerly facing courtyard garden behind, ideal for evening alfresco dining.
The frontage comprises a level lawned garden with a high degree of privacy and the aforementioned driveway allows an abundance of car parking that in turn leads to a detached double garage.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms (three of which are ensuite) including a sumptuous master suite, complete with a spiral staircase access to the pool beneath, perfect for direct decent for the morning swim.
Whilst the property might now benefit from a program of updating the sheer amount of space provided will prove an exciting opportunity to those that wish to adapt as they wish, perhaps some recognising the potential to create a separate annexe for either guests or dependant relatives as desired.
It should also be noted that the property is being sold with no onward chain though subject to a grant of probate.
Location - The village of Failand lies approximately 3.5 miles from Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s famous Suspension bridge which allows direct access to Clifton Village and Bristol City Centre.
The village itself offers amenities including a Post Office/general store, public house, village hall, cricket pitch and church. Long Ashton Village (approx.
2 miles travelling distance) offers a further variety of shops and recreational facilities.
Within 1.5 miles there are two golf courses (one of which adjoins the property), and a choice of either Audley Village or David Lloyd sports and Leisure Clubs.
The nearby Ashton Court Estate offers acres of open countryside proving ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding.
Access to the motorway network at junction 19 of the M5 is within four miles, Bristol International Airport within seven and a half miles and Bristol Temple Meads (with access to London Paddington) within five miles.
A truly rare blend of a rural location on the edge of the city. Other Information - VIEWING: Strictly by prior arranged appointment with Hydes of Bristol.
