Behind the handsome Victorian facade, the accommodation is spread over four main floors - with additional rooms found off of the half-landings. This arrangement increases the feeling of space, flexibility and character - creating an engaging home.
In brief, an entrance vestibule with tessellated tiled floor has plumbing for a WC and access into the entrance hall.
This central hall design gives an excellent flow and houses the most impressive galleried staircase.
The hall floor has an abundance of light with two principal receptions located on either side of the hall. To the front, a full-width room includes a bay window inset with sliding sash windows, stripped wooden floor boards and a feature fireplace.
A further generous reception is found at the rear and again has stripped wooden floors, a period fireplace and two large sash windows providing a slightly elevated view of the rear gardens and beyond.
Whilst descending the stairs to the ground floor, an additional reception (currently used as a well-appointed home office/study is found).
A couple of further steps down open into the good sized 'eat in' kitchen' that via a set of glazed French doors leads out to the rear garden. Also found at this level is a useful utility room, a shower room with WC and a handy storage room.
Back upstairs on the hall floor, the stairs continue to rise to the first floor, again on the way up the first of five double bedrooms.
Up on the main first-floor landing, three further bedrooms (the master benefiting from an ensuite shower room) and a family bathroom with a separate shower enclosure are accessed. There is no 'disappointing room' each bedroom is a great size and enjoys views either along the attractive road or over the neighboring rooftops and beyond.
Again stairs rise up to the half landing where the fifth bedroom is located with stairs continuing to a further storage room with two Velux windows.
Outside
The level and walled rear garden is made up of two main areas, a good-sized patio extends from the property - giving the desired inside/outside living arrangement. Built-in permanent seating, forms part of the patio - giving the perfect place to sit and enjoy the relatively private outlook. A generous lawn bordered by mature planting and trees leads to the back of the garden where a useful rear access point if found. From the rear garden, the property is able to be fully appreciated in its entirety - larger than average for the road.
The front garden includes an all-important off-street parking space whilst maintaining space for mature planting sitting behind the original stone wall - all complimenting the handsome facade.
Location
West Bishopston is perfectly located for Gloucester Road with its fantastic array of local shops and amenities and the popular schools of Bishop Road and St Bonnaventures Primaries and Redland Green Secondary School.
We think...
This property stands out as not only a very large property but one that has real character - whilst being laid out in a way perfectly suited for family life. The retained character sits effortlessly alongside fresh modern decor - with a lovely level of natural light that fills the interior.
