House For Sale £945,000
Fantastic opportunity to acquire this exceptionally spacious circa. 2650 sq./ft. 5-bedroom 1920's semi-detached family home in prominent location, within 370m of Elmlea Infant and Junior schools. Having been in one family for over 50 years it is now in need of some improvements, yet gives the buyer a golden opportunity to put their own mark on this truly wonderful home for the next family to enjoy. It is being sold with no onward chain.
The property 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 Druid Hill and with the large open park area of Durdham Downs at the top of the road.
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. With side access onto Reedley Road and two large outbuildings at the far end of the garden we feel there is potential to create an additional Coach House dwelling if desired. This would of course be subject to consents, but a similar scheme has been completed in an almost identical situation close by in recent years.
With the house’s overall square footage, it really isn’t your average 1920's semi and benefits from large rooms and high ceilings. The ground floor has been extended to the side providing a large entrance vestibule through to the main hall. Tot he left side there is a large utility room/workshop and to the right is an office/study which has an interconnecting door through to the main house and this room also has a lobby with independent front door and separate WC. This means in theory this area could form a self-contained office or home-based business space. To the front there is a particularly generous living room at 27 ft wide by 18 ft into the bay window. This large space benefits from an attractive Edwardian fireplace providing a focal point. To the rear are another two spacious reception rooms with interconnecting doors. Both have fireplaces with the family room having patio doors leading out onto the rear garden. Adjoining to the dining room is a traditional kitchen, which whilst clean, tidy and functional is now of 'retro' design vintage. Despite the exceptionally spacious ground floor accommodation, the property still has scope to be substantially extended to the rear.
The upper floor currently provides 5 comfortably proportioned bedrooms, 4 are large double rooms and the 5th a generous sized single bedroom. One of the bedrooms has access to a front balcony and the two rear bedrooms have vanity units. The bedrooms are serviced via a traditional bathroom with suite that incorporates bath and shower. With a bit of imagination, it is possible to envisage reconfiguration of the rooms creating a number of en-suite bedrooms. With a large landing it is 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, subject to consent.
The rear garden is extensively laid to lawn. At circa 85 ft. Long it is a good size for the area and would not be adversely affected if a full width rear extension was built. Two garages/outbuildings are sited at the rear of the garden with driveway and access gates onto Reedley Road. The front garden is again laid mainly to lawn and circa 50ft. In length.
