5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In Portishead, Bristol

‘When we first came to Charlcombe Rise, it was the view that completely won us over,’ say the owners. ‘It’s a panoramic, uninterrupted outlook across the River Severn and over to Wales, and it’s something we never tire of.’
‘Waking up and seeing the boats pass by is something really special,’ they say. The main living room, with its juliette balcony, is a favourite space. ‘It’s where we spend most of our time as a family – it feels cosy, but the view makes it feel wonderfully open.’
‘In the summer, we open everything up and use the deck for barbecues and gatherings with friends.’ The garden itself has been landscaped to make the most of the setting, offering a private and tranquil space to relax.

Beautifully presented and thoughtfully updated throughout, this is a true turnkey property, ready to move straight into and enjoy from day one. Arranged over three impressive levels, the accommodation has been designed with modern living in mind, while the easy-care gardens and beautifully finished interiors make this an equally appealing proposition for families and those looking to downsize without compromising on space, quality or views.

From the moment you enter the welcoming reception hall, natural light pours through full-height glazing, drawing your eye towards the estuary and immediately showcasing the home’s remarkable position. Oak flooring runs throughout, creating a sense of continuity, while the overall finish is contemporary, elegant and effortlessly comfortable.

The principal living room is a wonderfully light and inviting space, centred around a feature log-burning fireplace and opening onto a Juliette balcony. Throw open the doors and enjoy the coastal air or settle in as the sun sets across the water. A separate versatile room, currently arranged as a gym, could equally serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, snug or additional reception space, while a further study provides a peaceful and private place to work from home.

The first floor is dedicated to four beautifully proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys elevated estuary views, a dressing area and stylish en-suite, while the second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite. Two further bedrooms are served by an impressive family bathroom. The bathrooms and en-suites have all been thoughtfully updated with high-quality Italian marble tiles and elegant contemporary fittings, creating a sophisticated, spa-like feel throughout.

At garden level, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Beautifully appointed and perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining, it opens directly onto the sun terrace, creating an effortless connection between the kitchen and garden. An adjoining utility room keeps practicalities neatly tucked away, while the separate family room offers valuable additional flexibility as a snug, media room, reading room or simply somewhere to relax.

Outside, the gardens have been designed to complement the home’s easy and contemporary style. A series of terraces and seating areas provide the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the extraordinary outlook, without the extensive maintenance associated with a larger traditional garden. Here, the emphasis is firmly on enjoying the space rather than maintaining it, making the property particularly well suited to those seeking a convenient lock-up-and-leave home or a more manageable lifestyle.

The approach to the property has also been thoughtfully enhanced, with recent landscaping, a triple driveway finished in Belgian blue limestone, an integral double garage, bespoke aluminium front door and new garage door creating an impressive first impression.
Charlcombe Rise offers a wonderfully peaceful setting, while Portishead provides an enviable coastal lifestyle. The marina, scenic coastal walks, independent shops, waterside restaurants and excellent local amenities are all within easy reach, with Bristol conveniently accessible for commuting.

For those seeking a home that combines exceptional views with quality, comfort and ease of living, this is a particularly compelling opportunity. Immaculately presented, comprehensively updated and requiring little more than a suitcase, this is a modern turnkey home that can be enjoyed immediately, equally suited to downsizers and families seeking a stylish and manageable home, or anyone looking for a beautifully finished lock-up-and-leave property in an exceptional coastal setting.

Rarely does a home combine such commanding estuary views with this level of presentation, versatility and low-maintenance living.
