House For Sale £1,300,000
This is a grand 1924 built detached family home with the benefit of a level, south west facing rear garden. The property has been sympathetically extended and updated by the owners over the past 20 years, including a wonderful open plan kitchen/living area opening onto the rear garden. This delightful family home is both spacious and welcoming and offers comfortable accommodation along with being positioned in a highly convenient location.
Within Bristol and more specifically Stoke Bishop, these substantial family homes are renowned for their quality of build, their timeless character and lovely features from the arts and craft era. Typically set on a generous plot, houses like this one will continue to attract buyers for the same reasons they first did nearly 100 years ago.
Set back from the road, the brick paved drive provides at least 4 off street parking space and access to the integrated garage. The front door, which is set under a colonial style veranda, opens into a very impressive reception hallway where there is a large square space with fantastic Terrazzo floor and a return staircase rising to the upper floors. Discreetly tucked away is a cloakroom and utility room with external access to the side of the house. Directly behind the entrance hall is the focal point of the house - a modern extension completed only 6 years ago. This provides a contemporary side to the house now, popular with modern day living. It is a large open plan room integrating kitchen, dining area and informal lounge area that has a lovely wood burning stove. There are floor to ceiling windows framing the garden beyond with a wide set of bi-fold doors opening out onto the large patio. The kitchen is a sleek modern affair, with high gloss white units and Quartz worksurfaces, glass splashbacks and range of built-in appliances helping to provide a social, modern space. Our clients confess to spending most of their time in this room, such is its appeal. There are two additional formal reception rooms that offer scope for a number of uses. The front room is currently used as a formal dining room, capable of accommodating a large dining table and there is a fireplace providing character, along with the stripped floorboards and large bay window. To the rear the second reception room is used as a sitting room, with a large bay window incorporating French doors opening onto the rear garden and with its own fireplace. To the side of the sitting room is a bespoke built conservatory/garden room with a brick built lower section, a door to the rear garden and is currently used as a hobby room. A door in the rear of this room provides access into the back of the integral garage. The integral garage is currently used for general storage and has additional space up into the eves.
The first floor has a characterful landing that features with built in storage and a staircase winding up to the upper floor. There are 3 exceedingly generous bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom has a bay window overlooking the rear garden and benefits from high quality built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The 2nd bedroom also has a full range of built-in bedroom furniture and the 3rd is very much a generous double. A family bathroom services these two additional bedrooms. The upper floor provides a uniquely proportioned 4th bedroom, built into the loft space. It is ideally suited to teenagers who want their own space with potential to be extended further and is serviced by an additional shower room.
The rear garden is truly delightful, being circa. 85 foot in length, level and with a desirable south west facing aspect, offering a lovely relaxing space. A large terrace style patio sits next to the house and provides a spacious entertaining area with a lounge seating area positioned to catch the last of the evening sun. Most of the garden is laid to lawn with maturing borders to the sides and timber fences marking the boundaries. Several trees provide welcome shade in the summer months.
