House For Sale £800,000
Ravenswood Road, Redland,

Appledram is a gem. It is an attractive three bedroom Art Deco-inspired house nestled in the heart of Redland. It has lots of little extra bits and pieces that make it a totally charming home, packed with character and a lovely place to live.
Carefully updated by its owners with a real eye for detail, the house retains its unique personality with light and bright open plan living spaces, attractive garden, studio, workshop and lots and lots of storage. There is even provision for an electric car-charging point in the off-street parking area.
Appledram sits in a quiet road at the end of a pretty 1930s three-house terrace, right at the geographical centre of Bristol. This places it in a highly desirable location, within easy walking distance of both Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road, as well as the university and hospitals. What's more, Redland train station is just across the park at the end of the road, giving convenient access to Bristol and beyond.
With white rendered elevations and contrasting windows, it's an attractive looking house set behind a perfectly formed front garden with a path to the front door. The part wood-panelled hall is filled with light and has stairs rising to the upper floor. Stripped timber floors extend throughout the ground floor, leading from the hall through a door at the far end into the kitchen/diner space. Here there is a modern range of white kitchen units with built-in oven and hob as well as space for free standing appliances. There are double doors to the rear garden and a wide opening through to a lovely dining space with a bay window, also overlooking the garden. Sliding doors open into an elegant sitting room, with its central fireplace and bespoke cabinetry positioned either side. Another bay window floods the room with natural light.
Upstairs the house provides three well proportioned bedrooms. Two are generous doubles, both having bay windows, the third a good sized single bedroom or home study. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobe provision. The master bedroom has its own en suite bathroom with a window to the rear aspect. A shower room with WC and wash basin is also positioned off the landing.
The rear garden is a pleasurable place to be, reminiscent of a Mediterranean courtyard with white painted walls, flagstone pavers and terracotta pots with shrubs and trees for plenty of greenery. French doors open into a recently built garden building roughly the same size as a single garage. Currently arranged as an artist's studio and a workshop, each with an independent door, it offers all sorts of opportunities for future use.
Beyond the studio is a hardstanding parking area suitable for one car. The ownership extends through the rear gravelled parking area where, without blocking neighbours' access, additional parking is possible.
Beyond the immediate and obvious accommodation the house has a few other quirks up its sleeve. A large undercroft sits under the dining room and is accessible via a door from the garden. With circa 4ft of headroom it is a large accessible and dry storage area. There is also a sizable loft space, accessed via a dropdown ladder, that is well lit with skylights and offers huge potential.
All in all a lovely home, be that for professional couples, families and those looking to downsize. Medium sized houses like this are a rarity in Redland. So with its parking, attractive gardens, lots of character and favourable location, Appledram offers an opportunity not to be missed.
