House For Sale £675,000
'We absolutely adore this house; if we could pick it up and take it with us as we move back to the North West, we would! The combination of original features, high ceilings and huge windows that let the light stream in at all times of day make it a truly special home.
Over the last few years we have put our heart and soul into updating the property, including creating a large open plan living space at the back of house. This has become the heart of our home, where we have spent many a night socialising with friends and family. With bifolds that open out on to the garden that gets the light all evening, we have enjoyed many summer evenings eating, drinking and relaxing outside, making the most of the amazing weather. In the winter, we have loved cosying up in front of the wood burning stove.
The area is fantastic, with so many local amenities including gorgeous parks, cafes and bars. The street is such a welcoming and friendly community with a great mix of couples, families, as well as those who have lived on the street for decades. We will be extremely sad to leave!'
The house is situated on Calcott Road at the top of the Wells Road allowing it fantastic panoramic views of Bristol from the top floor. Calcott Road is a quiet road of substantial and attractive period homes with front gardens making the road feel more spacious and green. The house is just minutes from the Wells Road with the popular Fox and West Deli, Eat Your Greens, Acapella and Southside Bar, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers. Knowle is an extremely popular family area, with a brilliant combination of large houses, good schools and a choice of great parks. Knowle Park Primary, is just a short walk away and is very well-regarded and locally accessed through the park. Calcott Road is also close to Arnos Vale Cemetery, Perrett Park and Victoria Park, all offering a great escape from the city and open green spaces. For commuters, the area is very well placed, with Temple Meads and the several major employers around Temple Quay just around fifteen minutes away on foot, even close by bike or Voi. Bristol's scenic harbourside and city centre are also within walking distance, along with the independent shops, bars and cafes of North Street in Bedminster, whilst also being a short drive from the beautiful Mendips and Chew Valley to the south.
The current owners have refurbished throughout, remodelling the downstairs and renovating throughout to create a wonderful family home with great proportions. The house is entered through a double front door leading to a porch area for coats and shoes and then to the main hallway where the rooms then lead. To the front is a large reception room with bay window and log burner. The current owners have then transformed the rear of the house to make a fabulous kitchen/diner/family room with bi-fold doors and a picture window. The kitchen has dark blue units, an island with stool seating and herringbone flooring. There is a dining area with bifold doors to the patio which then leads to the sunny rear garden with lawn and mature shrubs and trees. Upstairs on the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are substantial doubles and there is a family bathroom. The loft has been converted into a bedroom, with an en-suite shower room.
