House For Sale £750,000
Rockville is a handsome double bay-fronted detached family house, situated in an elevated position on St. Johns Lane in the sought-after residential district of Bedminster.
The house is for sale for the first time in 40 years; being a much loved family home for that time but now presenting a unique chance to refresh and perhaps remodel.
Aside from its elegance, size and fabulous proportions are the exceptional range of outbuildings to the rear, accessed by two lanes running to the rear of the house. These buildings present new owners with a wide range of possibilities (with any change of use subject to consent) but plausible options are a work-from-home office suite; home gym / cinema room; workshops and multi-car garage. Subject to consent, these could perhaps also convert into an office for business use or perhaps separate accommodation for dependent relatives.
From the front, the house is elevated from St. Johns lane and accessed via a pedestrian gate flanked by two pillars, one inscribed Rockville. Twin winding paths leads up to the house, shaded by a mature blue cedar. There is access to the rear of the house from both sides of the property.
An ornate wooden storm porch with stained glass details provides shelter to the front door, which leads into a useful porch; perfect for kicking of coats and boots. From here, part-glazed doors with wonderful stained glass detailing opens into a wide and welcoming hallway.
From here, the period grandeur of the house can be fully seen, with a charming wooden dog-legged staircase leading to the upper floors, and dark wood doors with ornate brass plaques and oval handles opening into the three sizeable receptions rooms. With two reception rooms to the front (each boasting a bay window) and one to the rear there is an enormous amount of versatility, with each one also boasting original wooden fire surrounds each with a different colour tiled insert.
To the fourth corner of the house is a lovely light-filled family kitchen, perfectly proportioned to cater for an expanse of floor and wall-mounted storage, as well as space for a breakfast table. A door from here also leads into what the current owners used as the dining room; also boasting an original side dresser with sliding glazed cupboard doors.
The stairs lead up to the first floor, with three generous double bedrooms mirroring the reception rooms below; and a fourth single bedroom / nursery above the porch. These too boast fine wooden fire surrounds, and lovely views from the double glazed casement windows.
The bedrooms are served by a corner suite housing the family bathroom, a separate cloakroom and a walk-in linen / laundry room.
Above lies an extensive full-width and full depth loft room - providing an expanse of space for children to play or to create a sumptuous home office. Equally, subject to consent, it could convert to provide further bedroom suites and it enjoys some fabulous views.
Outside:
To the rear is an exceptional two-storey office suite and workshop with a four car garage complete with an inspection pit. The outbuildings can be accessed from the rear of the house by foot, or by vehicles via a private lane off Cotswold Road. They provide a wonderful space, each integrated with the other and hugely versatile in their potential and future use.
The garden itself is deep and wide and walled to both sides catching much of the day's sun. It provides an expanse of space for families of all ages and size to play in and enjoy in safety.
To the east side there is a small greenhouse, with a larger side garden to the west side leading down to the front.
