Thornbury Hill, Alveston, South Glos, BS35 3LG

A completely unique, architectural, grand design with a substantial footprint, excellent energy efficiency, high specification and south facing orientation set in a one-of-a-kind, natural amphitheatre location.

The house is part cladded with Canadian cedar giving it a sleek, contemporary finish. The design is modern and minimal with interesting angles and shape giving it unique character and abundant style.

Twenty-seven solar panels are discreetly arranged on the roof, invisible from ground level.

The development is not yet complete and the developer is open to working with a buyer on the finishing touches.

The approach is via a secure gated entrance into an exclusive development of five houses with a sweeping, in/out, semi-circular driveway.

The house is accessed via a gravelled drive with ample parking for multiple cars, a stone terrace, triple garage with electric up and over door and CCTV.

A retaining wall with integrated lighting and raised beds with a border of mature shrubs and specimen trees including Michaelmas daisy, lime and evergreen spruce trees provides excellent privacy.

The front door leads into a fantastically wide and spacious hall with premium engineered oak flooring and spot lighting which runs throughout the property.

Wet underfloor heating also runs throughout on both floors. Cat 6 broadband is hard wired into all the rooms.
