Description
Frenchay Park House is a handsome and balanced Grade II Listed residence, built in the mid 18th century of Ashlar limestone elevations under a slate tile roof. Originally built as a fine family home, it later was used as a hospital in World War II and then owned by the NHS until around ten years ago when it was bought back to a family house for the present owners. The accommodation is approximately nearly 20,000 sq ft and is set across five floors, presently arranged as four parts, the east wing, west wing and two further apartments, (one bedroom and two bedroom), on the upper floors, to allow for multigenerational family living. Throughout the property are numerous retained period features to include the stone flooring, fireplaces, wood panelling, large sash windows and the grand central staircase. The ground floor has several vast reception rooms, including a large inner hall in the east wing with a central lightwell, all accessed off the reception hall, immediately showing the grandeur and volume the property has to offer. The east wing is set over two floors, whilst the west wing is over three floors and benefitting from a large roof terrace overlooking the rear garden. The basement has a number of store rooms, as well as housing a wine cellar and recently installed boiler rooms with hot water tanks, enough to run a small hotel.
At the far side of the property, accessed through an archway, is a large five car garage, triple car port and gravel parking area. Whilst to the front of the property is a further tarmac parking area for numerous cars and leading to the front garden and ha-ha to meet the adjoining parkland that it overlooks in a southerly aspect. A large level lawn garden with a selection of mature trees lies to the rear of the property, at the bottom of which is a plunge pool and an office/garden house with a shower room and power.
The views from the property stretch south across mature parkland and across the spire of the pretty Frenchay Church in the distance.

Situation
The property is located overlooking the convenient and historic setting of Frenchay Common.
Frenchay is a village approximately 5 miles northeast of Bristol city centre and includes several large expanses of dedicated village green areas as well as National Trust land. It was a popular residence of many wealthy Bristol merchants in the 18th century with a large cluster of impressive homes alongside a number of traditional stone cottages that lead directly into the Frome Valley and its beautiful parks and riverside walks. Alongside the village green (where WG Grace once played) are several churches and a quaker meeting house, as well as the village hall, local pub and dedicated village museum. Frenchay is well located for access to the M32 and M4/M5 and is close to Bristol Parkway Station for mainline links to London Paddington, South Wales and the Midlands.
The property is a short distance to the University of the West of England main campus, Abbeywood MoD and aerospace industries of Rolls Royce and BAE.
Bristol has a number of independent schools with very good reputations, including Colston Collegiate at Stapleton, less than two miles away.
