The Crescent, Milton

This impressive period home occupies a delightful elevated position on Milton Hill and enjoys far reaching views across the town towards the Mendip Hills and coastline of the Bristol Channel.

Beautifully proportioned throughout the sophisticated internal accommodation is perfect for family life. Our current owners have modernised and updated the accommodation to create a stylish, yet comfortable environment with a clear emphasis on enjoying their home with visiting family and friends.

The symmetry of the external stone facade of the house, accompanied by its clay tiled roof and twin bay windows create a wonderful first impression and sets the tone for the character that can be found throughout the house. To the side of the property a neat block paved driveway leads up to a single garage with an attractive stone pathway leading to the front door.

A pretty stained-glass front door leads you into an impressive reception hallway which features attractive stripped wooden floorboards, the original period staircase with spindled balustrades and newel post, ornate coving, picture rail and period architraves. There is a useful understairs cupboard and doors to several ground floor rooms. To the left of the hallway lies the first of three superb reception rooms, utilised as a sitting/T.V room it features a lovely bay window to the front, stripped wooden floor, period details and a fantastic marble fireplace with a cast iron grate that provides a superb focal point to the room. 

To the opposite side of the hallway is a second reception room which provides another sitting/living space and connects to the dining room beyond through an open arch. These two rooms combine to create a wonderful space for entertaining and family gatherings. There is another stylish period fireplace with a wood burning stove, pretty bay window and to the dining area French doors to the rear and a fantastic built in dresser. The dual aspect kitchen, as with all traditional family houses is the centrepiece and heart of the home. Elegant in design it features a host of attractive shaker style units, including glazed display cabinets, larder units and pan drawers. The kitchen has provision for an American style fridge/freezer, space for a range style cooker, an additional oven and hob and a chic granite countertop. Original quarry tiles to the floor add to the character and practicality, whilst cool metro tiles to the splashbacks add further visual appeal. To the side of the kitchen a door links you through to the dining room and to the rear a door leads to a lobby/boot area which accesses a ground floor cloakroom and handy utility room with plumbing for white goods and an additional sink.

Moving onto the first floor you will find four double bedroom (master en-suite) and a family bathroom all arranged off a fantastic galleried landing with amazing views to the front out over the undulating rooftops of the town. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes with the two front bedrooms also benefitting from incredible far reaching views. The master bedroom features a well appointed shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms share use if the exceptionally large family bathroom, which is complete with a contemporary three piece white suite with a separate shower cubicle and airing cupboard.

Outside, the property continues to impress as the rear garden is not only an excellent size but also enjoys a high degree of privacy and has been landscaped to allow all members of the family to use and share its wonderful environment. The garden is principally laid to lawn and enclosed on several sides by a delightful stone wall, there is a stone terrace adjacent to the house that is the perfect space for al-fresco dining, a footpath leads through the garden to other discrete areas to enjoy, either in full sun or shade. Within the garden there is a rich variety of flora and fauna with a mixture or native and non native tree species adding interest and contrast. As well as the obligatory shed, there is a large workshop to the side of the house, bin store and practical store area. Without question the most impressive addition to the garden is a superb home office/studio which offers huge versatility, it is currently set up as a home gymnasium/games room but could also be utilised as an office or studio for those who require a space to work from home. As previously mentioned there is a good sized garage which can be accessed to the side of the property with parking in front.
