Property description
Steps lead you through the well-kept front garden to the striking Edwardian stained-glass front doors. Upon entering, you're welcomed into a spacious and light-filled hallway, with the staircase rising to the first floor. From here, you'll find access to the lounge, dining room, kitchen, and a convenient downstairs toilet.
The lounge is a truly inviting space, featuring high ceilings and a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. A wood-burning stove adds both character and comfort, perfect for cosy evenings in.
The dining room opens directly onto the south-facing garden through elegant French doors, creating a natural flow between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The kitchen is both practical and welcoming, offering ample worktop space and a snug dining area with garden views, an ideal spot for your morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day.
Outside, the secure enclosed rear garden enjoys plenty of sunshine and offers a combination of patio space and terraced levels, with table and chairs and steps leading to a higher terrace with lawn and shrubs. A detached garage, while not suitable for a car, provides excellent additional storage and a secure place for bikes and gardening tools.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two generously sized double bedrooms and a comfortable single bedroom, all beautifully presented. A modern family bathroom completes this level, providing a stylish and practical space for daily living.
On the top floor, you'll find a further spacious double bedroom, a contemporary shower room, and an additional room that works perfectly as a home office or study, ideal for remote working.
One of the home’s standout features is the panoramic view from the upper floors. From here, you can enjoy breath-taking vistas across the city, with the picturesque Perret Park directly in front and even the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge visible in the distance. These elevated views make the perfect vantage point for watching the Bristol Harbourside fireworks and the city’s famous Balloon Fiesta all from the comfort of your own home.
