If you've been dreaming of a unique one-of-a-kind home, or views that stretch for miles, then there's a property that has just come to market offering the best of both worlds. This five bedroom, three bathroom hilltop home in Portishead is currently on the market with an asking price of £965,000 and boasting views that span out towards the Gordano Valley and the hills beyond - perfect for those who long for a quieter life.
With its completely individual design, it's been described by estate agents West Coast as having "something wonderous and enticing" about it. Practically speaking, one of the first things you notice while walking up to the property, aside from its kooky shape, is that there's ample parking for several cars and even access to a garage with an electric retractable door - something of a luxury here in Bristol.
A storm porch even protects you from the elements before you enter and, once inside, you're treated to an oak and metal spiral staircase and a glass dome roof. It sounds completely whimsical, right?

Described as the magnum opus of the home, the main living space measures 34'1 x 25'1 and boasts underfloor heating for colder wintry days and air conditioning for the hotter summer months. The description reads: "The room blends seamlessly from living space to dining area, onto kitchen with a curved glazed wall spanning the entire width of the room with floor to ceiling windows.
"Light pours in whilst you look out towards Gordano Valley and the hills beyond, giving a feeling of calm and solitude." The kitchen is, itself, described as being "a masterpiece" with a part glazed roof for further natural light, storage units, worktops and a central island for plenty of preparation space.
What's more, the home comes equipped with a number of integrated appliances, including a full-size dishwasher, fridge, wine fridge, two 'slide and hide' Neff ovens, microwave combination oven, warming drawer and induction hob. Imagine yourself swilling off some dishes with your fancy pull out kitchen tap and looking out at even more views towards Portishead Marina and Avonmouth.

The property has a total of five bedrooms - there are three double bedrooms on the lower floor which boast fitted wardrobes (and two of these have the use of a 'Jack n Jill' style en suite shower room). The upper reception room offers a cosy space to relax or could even make for a games room, while the primary suite boasts floor to ceiling windows fitted with plantation shutters and far reaching views over Portishead Marina.
There's a walk-in wardrobe/dressing area and luxury en suite and the fifth bedroom would make for an ideal office space or nursery if needed.
Outside, the back garden has been extensively landscaped with a plethora of plants, trees and shrubs to add to the private and tranquil setting. There is a deck area for al fresco dining and entertaining, as well as two further gardens and rear and side access if required.
West Coast estate agents go on to say: "This truly is one of a kind and an enviable offering to any prospective buyer. No one will leave this home without thinking they have just seen something special.
"It isn't just a fantastic family home, it's a wonderful space with the most spectacular views." You can find out more and book a viewing here.
