Full Description: “What I’ll miss most about Long Fox is how completely it changes the way you live – peaceful, private and surrounded by green space, yet brilliantly connected to both Bristol and Bath. From the city views to the beautiful old chapel in the grounds, it feels genuinely special every time you come home. It’s one of those rare places that gives you a sense of escape without ever feeling remote.”<br /><br />The Home<br /><br />A beautifully presented home with a lovely sense of space, an impressive private terrace and a peaceful setting, Long Fox Manor is a property that makes everyday life feel that little bit easier.<br /><br />The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to give you spaces to cook, eat, relax and entertain, while the generous terrace provides a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.<br /><br />The main living area is bright and comfortable, with plenty of room to create a relaxed sitting area alongside space for dining. It's the kind of room that works just as well for a quiet evening at home as it does when friends come over.<br /><br />The kitchen has been finished in a contemporary style and is well equipped for everyday cooking, with a practical layout and plenty of storage.<br /><br />There are well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering useful built-in storage. The second bedroom is a flexible space that could work equally well as a guest bedroom, home office or additional reception room.<br /><br />The bathroom has a warm, contemporary finish, with a generous walk-in shower, stylish vanity unit, WC and mirrored storage. A window brings in plenty of natural light while providing a lovely outlook towards the greenery beyond. A unique feature of both bathrooms is the addition of a tv and bluetooth speakers.<br /><br />The Outside<br /><br />The real showstopper here is the exceptionally large private terrace.<br /><br />Rather than simply being somewhere to put a couple of chairs, this is a genuinely useful piece of outdoor space. There's room for a large dining table, comfortable seating and plenty of planting, allowing you to create different areas for morning coffee, long lunches and evening drinks.<br /><br />It's easy to imagine summer evenings spent outside with friends, a barbecue on the go and the last of the sun catching the terrace. Equally, it gives you somewhere peaceful to sit with a coffee at the weekend or simply escape outside without having to leave home.<br /><br />The elevated position also gives the terrace a wonderfully open feel, with attractive views across the surrounding area and greenery.<br /><br /><br />The History<br /> <br />Long Fox Manor is a Grade II listed Georgian building, built in 1806 by Edward Long Fox. It is set within 36 hectares (89 acres) of land, which encompasses a chapel, gardens, and woodlands. In the early 2000s, the historic building was converted into private apartments, and the name Long Fox Manor became established for the residential development. Accessed via secure electric gates, the house is now divided into luxury flats set within acres of beautiful communal gardens. Other facilities include a tennis court, sauna, outdoor heated swimming pool, and a fully equipped gym with changing rooms. There is a fabulous ballroom which can be used to hold private events, and a bar with a lounge - all of which are available for residents to use and included in the service charge. The mature grounds also have a BBQ area and an allotment space, where residents grow their own food.<br /><br />
