House For Sale £875,000
This is a prominent and sizable circa. 2500 sq. Ft. 5-bedroom late 1920's semi- detached family home and is neatly set back from the road having a large frontage which has been in the ownership of the same family for 50 years. It has the huge benefit of a level circa. 85 ft. Long rear garden and the property sits within only 360m of Elmlea infant and junior schools. It is in need of some updating and gives any buyer a golden opportunity to put their own mark on this truly wonderful family home.
The property still has scope to be substantially extended to the rear and also into its vast roof space, so overall you really can create the home of your dreams. It is in one of the most desirable localities in Bristol, situated within easy walking distance of Elmlea School (Ofsted Rated “Outstanding”), local shopping in both Stoke Lane and on Stoke Hill and with the large open park area of Durdham Downs at the top of the road.
The front door sits to the side of the house and opens into a cavernous hallway. Our clients informed us of playing table tennis in there during their childhood, which gives a true indication of the scale of this house. With the house’s overall square footage, it really isn’t your average 1920's semi and benefits from large rooms and high ceilings. To the front sit two generously proportioned reception rooms which has continuous hardwood parquet flooring under the existing carpet. Both have chimney breasts and the larger room has a rectangular square bay window. Doors between the rooms open to link the rooms if desired. To the rear is another spacious reception room, again with fireplace and has French doors set into a wide opening providing access to the rear garden. Adjoining to the rear reception room is a traditional kitchen, which was installed in the 1960's. We believe many prospective buyers will look to knock these two rooms into one to create a desirable open-plan living area. Beyond the kitchen is a utility and cloakroom, being a single-brick ancillary style extension, this again is likely to be re-imagined as part of the more open-plan family inspired living space.
The upper floor currently provides 5 comfortably proportioned bedrooms, 4 are large double rooms and the 5th a generous single sized bedroom. They are serviced via a traditional bathroom with coloured suite that incorporates bath and shower. With a bit of imagination it's possible to envisage reconfiguration of the rooms creating a number of en-suite bedrooms. With a large landing it's also possible to envisage the stairs continuing up into the loft space where it's conceivable for two further bedrooms or a larger master bedroom suite being created, as has been done on neighbouring houses.
The rear garden extends beyond the patio at the rear of the house and is extensively laid to lawn with a small decorative pond and 2 fruit trees. At circa 85 ft. Long it is a good size for the area and would not be adversely affected if part of the patio was incorporated into additional living space. A garage sits to the rear side of the house with driveway extending past the front door and onwards through the front garden that provides parking for several cars. As mentioned, the house is well set back from the road so the front garden offers scope for additional parking.
