Westbury-on-Trym | $1.6 million (£1.2 million)

A four-bedroom, intelligent-design house from the 1960s

This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house, built in the 1960s and recognized by the Royal Institute of British Architects for intelligent design, is in Westbury-on-Trym, a suburb in Bristol, England. The house has been completely refurbished, including a contemporary exterior of Staffordshire blue bricks and clay tiles.

The suburb is named after the River Trym and is near acres of green space, including Durdham Down and Clifton Downs. High Street has restaurants, pubs and small shops, and the neighborhood has amenities including supermarkets, banks, schools and medical clinics. A bit farther afield are the Sea Walls, a section of the River Avon Gorge overlooking the well-known Clifton Suspension Bridge, Leigh Woods and the Severn Estuary.

The property is about 10 miles northeast of Bristol Airport, an international airport serving as a gateway for southwestern England and South Wales. London is about three hours east.

Size: 2,092 square feet

Price per square foot: $765

Indoors: The four-story house has a ground-floor entrance opening to a vestibule with an adjacent utility room. Beyond is a small workshop at the foot of an ash and ash-veneered birch staircase with a brass handrail that links all four stories.

The stairs ascend to a corridor accessing the open kitchen and dining area, as well as a living room, study and bathroom. The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, dark gray cabinets and an island with granite countertops. Sliding-glass doors open to a garden patio. The living room has glass doors that open to a concealed terrace.

The third floor has three bedrooms, two of which share a bathroom. The main en suite bedroom has marble wall and floor tiles, a vaulted ceiling and a picture window. The stairs ascend to a landing with a skylight and an internal window into the main bedroom. On the fourth floor is another en suite bedroom within the roof pitch of the house.
