House For Sale £850,000
A substantial family home in the heart of Southville and overlooking the River Avon
Description
A tastefully remodelled and beautifully presented five bedroom, three bathroom period family home positioned close to the amenity of North Street and Wapping Wharf. The current owners have improved and enhanced the accommodation that sits behind the Victorian façade, now including a wide range of contemporary materials which blend perfectly with an array of period features.
A welcoming entrance hall leads to the bay-fronted sitting room at the front elevation with a number of period features including cornicing, picture rails, Victorian skirting boards, architrave and an impressive period fireplace. Shutters have been fitted, creating privacy whilst allowing ample natural light to pour in. Along the hall, a generous dining/play room enjoys a sunny orientation with large double doors opening in to the sun room at the rear. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home and enjoys plenty of natural light due to the southerly orientation. Well-equipped with a range of wall and base units, central island with gas hob and extractor above and further integrated appliances. A separate utility includes space for the washing facilities. At the rear of the kitchen, a set of double doors open out to the enclosed garden, enabling a perfect flow to the outdoor seating/dining space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful WC beneath the staircase.
Stairs rise to the first floor and the principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the plan. Bay-fronted and enjoying a pleasant outlook over the River Avon. Stripped wood flooring runs underfoot and there is an attractive fireplace. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, served by the family bathroom with underfloor heating and separate shower room, both of which include high quality fixtures and fittings. A guest suite is situated on the top floor, generous in size and including ample fitted storage. Served by a sizeable en suite shower room with WC, basin and towel rail. Two Velux windows allow ample light to pour in and provide views across Bristol and towards Cabot Tower, Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Wills Memorial building.
The enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance and south-facing, enjoying sunlight throughout much of the day. This space is well-connected and creates a space that is almost part of the home interior. Block paving provides space for seating and al fresco dining and beyond is a section of lawn with planted borders and space for a children’s play area.
Location
Southville is an extremely popular location with a wonderful array of independently owned eateries, in addition to the Tobacco Factory, situated on North Street. You can walk into the city centre via Coronation Road and over Gaol Ferry Bridge and along the Harbour to M Shed, Arnolfini and all the amenities on offer including theatres, restaurants and bars. Local schools include Ashton Gate and Southville primary, both of which are highly regarded within BS3. Greville Smyth Park is around 0.4 miles away with play area, tennis club and bowling green. Ashton Court offers 850 acres of open space with many cycle trails, golf course and picnic areas. Bristol has two mainline train stations, the closest of which is Temple Meads (approximately 1.5 miles away) with services to a number of cities nationwide. Bristol Airport offers flights to many European cities and some long haul destinations.
