SituationSneyd park is an exclusive residential suburb in the north of Bristol, renowned for its large family houses and enclosed gardens.

Springport House is situated along a private road, bordering The Downs, providing an expanse of public space of circa 400 acres quite literally on the doorstep.

Within several miles are several leading independent schools; including Clifton College and Butcombe Prep, Badminton School for Girls, Bristol Grammar School, Clifton High School and Redmaids to name but a few.

Clifton village is just 1.7 miles to the south with its renowned range of independent bars, restaurants and boutique shops; whilst a Waitrose supermarket is just 2 miles to the east.

Springfort HouseQuite simply, Springfort House is a stunning family home much loved and improved by the current owner over the last 20 years. An enormous amount of time and attention to detail has been invested over the years, with little expense spared to create a truly unique and handsome family home.

Pockets of beauty are evident at every corner, with beautiful murals and handprinted marble eff ect woodwork, block painted wall paper and bespoke carpentry and cabinet work in almost every room.

From the gated gravel drive accessed from a private road off The Downs, the house is set well back with a high degree of privacy. Stone steps lead up to the front door, and the hall fl oor welcomes you with two stunning reception rooms and a magnifi cent entrance hall, complete with a marble fl oor and rich period features – prevalent throughout much of the house.

SPRINGFORT HOUSE

Saville Road, Bristol, BS9 1JD

The drawing room is exquisite; dual aspect with a private balcony overlooking the pool it has a fabulous built-in full width wall cabinet and bar area, with underfl oor heating as well as stunning period features, high ceilings and a retained fully working fi re place with a marble surround.

The sitting room is an elegant space to welcome guests, with twin windows enjoying views up to the downs, and a pair of French doors with steps leading down to the drive and pool – perfect for summer drinks parties.

The owner painstakingly restored the plaster work in both reception rooms, taking moulds from the existing plasterwork, and replacing it to exactly replicate the original.

From the entrance hall stairs by kick lights lead up to the fi rst fl oor and down to the lower ground fl oor also lit naturally from above via a large ceiling lantern.

Over the lower ground fl oor lies the impressive kitchen and dining room – believed to be designed by the Lycett family and used originally as their Billiard Room. The high ceilings present a dramatic eff ect, enhanced the hand block-painted wall paper and stone tiled fl oor. This is a wonderful entertaining space and a “cook’s kitchen” – with a wealth of granite work surfaces and a state-of-the-art Falcon range cooker. There is custom built granite dining table, and to the rear of the kitchen an informal seating area, custom built into the triple sash bay window, and with a rear door opening out to a sunken dining terrace.

Over the fi rst fl oor are four generous double bedrooms and two-family bathrooms. The master bedroom is a wonderfully private space at the end of the landing with a delightful dual aspect, and a private decked balcony aff ording views over the tree canopy and across the University Botanical Gardens and a “his & hers” walk-in wardrobe provides plenty of space for storage.

Bedroom two has wonderful views south across The Downs, with bedrooms three and four providing excellent family space. These all share two beautifully fi nished family bath / shower rooms – the shower room boasting a walk-in shower fi nished in tumbled marble, and the bathroom providing a relaxing space to unwind at the end of the day.

Over the half-landing lies a fi fth bedroom, currently used as a study, and along the lower ground fl oor lies bedrooms six – complete with its own snug and an ideal teenagers’ den or room for an au-pair. This bedroom has access to a superb shower room complete with an oversize shower.

In addition, there is a very generous utility room, and a large boiler room housing the pool heating system and twin boilers to power the home’s central heating and hot water system. A side door leads to the garden and directly out to the 8-seater Jacuzzi – perfect to nip back into the shower afterwards!

OrangeryBuilt alongside the pool, with 7 doors opening out to the paved terrace this is fabulous space to relax in / work in or entertain in throughout the year. In the summer, through all the doors open and turn on the air-con – whilst in the winter hunker down with the heater on and watch the birds feed outside. A built-in bar provides a welcome break complete with power for a fridge and fully drained sink unit with running water.

OutsideSimply stunning. The house is aff orded a high degree of privacy by mature trees fl anking the property’s boundary – and set back behind electric gates, opening onto the private road and overlooking The Downs.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and presents several paved dining terraces with one dining terrace alongside the heated pool and perfect for weekend pool parties and BBQ’s, and a lower terrace coming off the kitchen, perfect for al-fresco summer dinner parties and enjoying a beautiful mural of the Tuscan countryside.

The whole garden is illuminated by an array of outside lights creating the perfect balance between security and atmosphere and has access to 8 outside taps for ease of maintenance.
