On the ground floor of the spacious home is the living room which boasts high ceilings, a large bay window and a fireplace which could have a log burner installed or gas fire reinstated, the dining room which again has a fireplace that could be made useable as well as original 30s doors on to the period conservatory. The kitchen is currently separate and also has an access to the conservatory. A simple knock through to combine the kitchen and dining rooms would make an immediate and cost effective improvement to the living space available! The conservatory has a couple of steps down to the garden and would be a wonderful feature to fully restore and incorporate into the rest of the house.
The first floor provides the first three bedrooms, two generous doubles and a single and the family bathroom. The double rooms are a great size with stripped floorboards in both. The front bedroom benefits from a little bit of extra space thanks to the bay window, the back bedroom allows you to take in the view over Bristol with several iconic landmarks visible!
Up again is the converted loft. Having had the roof changed from a hip to gable has created a large bedroom with plenty of light coming in through a window and two Velux windows, as well as a landing which could be an ideal space for a computer desk. If someone wanted to extend further and add a dormer on the back of the house, there would be room enough on the second floor for either a huge primary bedroom and en-suite or potentially two smaller bedrooms and bathroom!
***There is a now lapsed planning application for a two storey side extension (to form an annexe) which means that there is precedent for a large expansion of the property should someone wish to do so, subject to regaining the necessary consents.***
Outside
To the front, there is parking for one car as well as garden space which gives plenty of privacy from the street. The garage is accessed externally from the front. At the back, the garden is larger than average for the area. There is a patio adjacent to the house, access to the cellar space under the house and plenty of greenery through abundant trees and shrubs!
Location
Rookery Road is a sought after location. As well as its proximity to the parks of Knowle as well as the popular Hillcrest primary school, access to Central Bristol is easy. Temple Meads (0.9 miles), Finzels Reach (1.5 miles), Wapping Wharf (1.6) and the Paintworks (0.7 miles) are all within walking/cycling distance while there are bus routes available on the Wells Road put Bristol as a whole within reach.
We think...
This is an excellent opportunity to buy a large property, in a great location that offers great potential to expand further should a new owner wish to do so!
