Interior
Reception hall:
The main access to the house is via the covered front door, accessed via steps up from the pavement. Inside is a carpeted reception hall decorated in neutral colours, with stairs to the right rising to the four bedrooms and house bathroom on the first floor.
Adjacent and also to the right is the downstairs WC, fitted with an engineered wooden floor, corner hand basin beneath marble splash-back tiles and a dual-flush loo.
An internal door to the living room is across the hallway on the left. Another ahead opens onto the contemporary kitchen/diner.
Living room:
Carpeted and decorated in soft, neutral tones, the living room enjoys ample natural light from mullioned box windows, with warmth in winter provided by wall-mounted radiators.
Additional light after dark is from a central pendulum light fitting with low-level power points, TV, phone and Ethernet wifi connections all located around the walls.
The room offers plenty of space for soft furnishings, the facing wall on entry ideal for a large flat-screen TV or even a home cinema unit if required. Lots of space still remains for cabinets and units as required.
Kitchen/ diner:
Fitted throughout with gloss-finish ceramic floor tiles, the kitchen/diner overlooks the private courtyard garden to the rear, double sliding patio doors from here adding to the sense of space if left open in the warmer summer months.
The spacious dining area is on the right-hand side on entry from the reception hall, offering room enough for a family-sized table and chairs beneath a pendulum ceiling light.
The kitchen on the left is laid out in a G shape, including an open, waist-high shelving unit separating the dining room from the cooking and preparation area.
Behind is a stainless steel one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer below a chrome mixer tap. The design also incorporates a four-ring gas hob beneath an extractor as well as a tower-style, eye-level microwave oven and an electric oven and grill.
Plenty of storage is also available in wood-finish units, also incorporating an upright fridge/freezer with additional twin cupboards with white doors located either side of the cooker and adding a little colour contrast.
There are a number of additional power points for kitchen appliances with light after dark provided by an adjustable overhead spotlight array.

Location
Leader Street is part of a relatively new development on the edge of Hermitage Wood with Stoke Park to the south but still within easy reach of convenient local amenities.
There is a gym, a Chinese bistro and takeaway and a Co-op convenience store and a Post Office close by on Long Down Avenue. Adjacent is the Wallscourt Farm Primary Academy which was rated as a good school by Ofsted at its last inspection in 2021.
Secondary education in the area is provided by the Abbeywood Community School and the Orchard School, also both rated as good in 2019. However, the area also benefits from close proximity to a number of higher education establishments including the University of Western England, the Bristol School of Engineering and the Bristol Business School.
As a result, local public transport links are excellent, including buses to Temple Meads, Avonmouth, Frenchay, Stoke Gifford and Thornbury running regularly from stops on Long Down Avenue.
Gwr trains from nearby Filton Abbey Wood station also offer direct links to Weymouth, Gloucester, Portsmouth, Westbury, Great Malvern, Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway. However Bristol Parkway is also only a couple of miles from the property, also offering direct trains to London Paddington, Newcastle, Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The proximity of the M32, M5 and M4 also make connecting with the UK motorway network relatively simple. Additional amenities also easily accessible by car include both an Asda and a Sainsbury’s superstore and filling station, the Bristol Golf Centre and driving range, the Frenchay tennis and cricket clubs and the Horfield Leisure Centre, all within a radius of a couple of miles.
