House For Sale £830,000
Bristol is the buzziest place in Britain - "cool, classy and supremely creative", according to The Sunday Times, which regularly names the city as one of its Best Places to Live in the UK. This recently renovated four-bedroom semi, hidden behind trees on a leafy street in Stoke Bishop, is the ideal base for a family who want to enjoy Bristol's lively cultural scene and Michelin-starred restaurants, but also crave tranquillity, great schools, speedy WiFi and easy access to the Downs and the seaside resorts on the North Somerset coast.
The house is larger than many similar properties in the area and has had a seriously stylish makeover, with bold feature wallpaper, plantation shutters and smart wooden flooring on the ground floor. It was built in 1950, but its facade has an Arts & Crafts feel and the recently extended l-shaped living area is right on trend, with a wall of glass doors that lead to a decked area and the mature 70ft garden. This is an ideal entertaining space, linked to the monochrome kitchen by a counter covered in glossy metro tiles. There's serious cooking power, too, thanks to a Stoves range with seven burners and two ovens, grill & warming draw - ideal for Sunday lunch or celebratory meals in the cosy dining room.
Upstairs, there's a softer feel to the main bedroom, which has an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding tub. This and the three other bedrooms offer splendid views over the treetops of Stoke Bishop and Coombe Dingle; two of these are doubles, and one is a single that's been turned into a dressing room. You can fire up the hot tub for a relaxing soak after a day in the office, or in the downstairs study if you're working from home - taking advantage of WiFi speeds as fast as 110 Mpbs.
