Packed full of charm, this home will enchant you as soon as you step through the door.
Internally, the layout demonstrates a masterly command of space, light, and materials. The bold entrance hall provides plenty of space and access in either direction to the ground floor living spaces. The substantial open plan dining room and lounge is the heart of the home, it is a versatile space perfect for entertaining. A warming wood-burning stove embedded in the wall combines with the engineered oak flooring to create a cosy atmosphere, whilst harmoniously tying the living areas together. The showstopper Warendorf kitchen has a generous provision of space for cooking, with appliances housed discreetly within lines of bespoke joinery, topped with Silestone Calacatta Gold countertops.
A generous master bedroom with an ensuite sits at the top of the stairwell. Further down on this level a sizable landing is brimming with light from a large arched window. Leading off of the landing are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom which is adorned with custom black slate tiles.
On the top floor is an impressive light-filled loft conversion with thoughtful use of space to include a double bedroom and an office/single bedroom. The bedroom on this level benefits from large Velux windows offering impressive vistas of Horfield and beyond. Storage is not something you’ll have to worry about in this house as there is 20sq.m of additional boarded loft space.
Sustainability was at the forefront of the refurbishment - income generating solar panels as well as solar batteries have been installed to significantly reduce living costs and environmental impact.
