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.

Having been lovingly cared for by the current owner for approximately 45 years, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for a new family to create their forever home in a truly outstanding setting.

Location - The Dell is widely regarded as one of Westbury-on-Trym's premier residential roads, ideally positioned for access to the excellent local amenities of both Westbury-on-Trym and Henleaze.
Families will particularly appreciate the proximity to Elmlea School and the centre of the catchment for Bristol Free School, an area of outstanding educational provision, while the nearby green spaces of Canford Park and the Downs, independent shops, cafés and transport links further enhance the appeal of this exceptional location.
Accommodation - Please see the floorplan for room measurements and the property layout.
The versatile and well-balanced accommodation extends to three separate reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for modern family living.

A convenient downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside - One of the property's most attractive features is the delightful south-east facing level rear garden, which has been beautifully maintained and provides a peaceful and private setting.
A covered sun terrace allows for year-round enjoyment of the outdoor space, creating the perfect environment for alfresco dining, relaxation and entertaining regardless of the season.
Backing onto the grounds of Elmlea School, the garden enjoys a wonderfully open aspect and a unique sense of space rarely found in such a central location.
To the front, a brick-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to an impressive 27ft garage, offering excellent storage, workshop potential or secure vehicle accommodation.
Further Potential - The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
A substantial loft space, accessed via a drop-down ladder, offers exciting scope for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and building regulations approvals.
