Description

Monks Bench is an exceptional 1960s detached family home, tucked away on one of the area's most sought-after roads. This elegant split-level residence sits proudly among beautifully curated gardens and enjoys some of the most commanding views, stretching from the surrounding countryside to the Bristol Channel and even the distant Welsh hills.

Lovingly maintained and updated over the last 15 years, the current owners have enhanced the home while preserving its timeless charm. There is still ample scope for the next custodian to reimagine the space and make it truly their own.

Constructed with rendered elevations and double glazing throughout, the home features expansive open-plan living spaces designed to bring in natural light and frame the views from every angle.

Step inside via a solid wood front door into a welcoming reception hall. From here, the wide staircase leads up to the heart of the home, a generous landing with free-flowing living areas that lead directly off and combine relaxation, dining, and entertaining. The drawing room, L-shaped in design, offers various lounging zones and opens directly into a sun-drenched conservatory and outdoor sun deck, perfect for soaking in those majestic southerly vistas and enjoying the sunsets.

Adjacent, the large dining room connects to a contemporary, fully fitted kitchen, which in turn flows into a second conservatory, an ideal spot for morning coffee while overlooking the landscaped front garden.

The principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat, complete with a stylish ensuite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. A guest bedroom enjoys access to a Jack & Jill shower room, while a third bedroom, also ensuite, sits on the lower level near the utility and garage, making it perfect as a private guest suite.
Outside, the home is approached via secure electric gates leading to generous off-street parking and a sizable under-house garage with electric doors. Adjoining this are a large workshop, boiler room, and cloakroom.

The gardens wrap around the property on three sides. To the front, tiered terraces are framed by mature borders, while the rear garden is laid to level lawn with seating areas perfectly positioned to capture the sun. Fruit trees and diverse planting provide seasonal interest, privacy, and year-round appeal.
