Willoughby Road, Horfield

"Willoughby Road is the best of both worlds! A quiet, friendly cul-de-sac not overlooked by rows of terraced properties, and yet is only three minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants on the Gloucester Road. There is a great sense of community on the street, and the spacious garden feels like a hidden gem and is truly unique for the area."

Willoughby Road is a quiet cul-de-sac in Horfield, located just off the Gloucester Road and a stone's throw away from the popular Horfield Common. Venues such as FED, the Grace, and Per & Kor are a fantastic range of eateries for people to enjoy, as well as a number of other independents including Gloucester Road Books, Rambling Rose, and Fancy Plants in the local vicinity to name a select few. Surrounded by green spaces, St Andrews Park is a leafy Victorian public park with children's play area and paddling pool, as well as Horfield Common, which is perfect for dog walkers, runners and those who are wanting to socialise. For sports fans, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club play regularly in summer months just to the other side of Gloucester Road and Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium is within a short walk. The area is very well positioned for commuters, with the city centre within walking or cycling distance and regular buses running, the M32 nearby, with links to the M4 and M5. The area is incredibly popular with families, due to the ‘outstanding’ Redland Green School and Bishop Road Primary School. St Bonaventures Primary School is also around the corner and has glowing reviews from the locals.

A substantially sized and extended 1920s home on a welcoming and quiet cul-de-sac in Horfield, displaying a superb corner plot, with garden to match, further benefitting from off street parking and a single garage. Within the seller's lengthy tenure, vast amounts of renovation have taken place, including a single and double storey extension in 2008, creating an inviting open plan kitchen and dining area, as well as three double bedrooms upstairs by extending the typically smaller third room. Entrance is into a traditional hallway, with the first reception room on your initial right. The living room boasts tastefully designed alcove shelving and a large squared bay window, with carpet flooring underfoot. Moving through the ground floor, you are greeted by the contemporary kitchen/dining area, sat within the single storey extension, with a clearly distinguished kitchen and dining area. A useful island/breakfast bar area sits within the two rooms, and a seating area provides direct access to the rear garden via double patio doors. The garden itself is an impressive spectacle, offering a large well manicured lawn area, patio seating area, greenhouse and a near double tandem garage. Please note the garage width is only 2.35m, and may struggle to fit a standard vehicle, but provides a great storage area, or could be redeveloped into a garden room. The plot faces in a south easterly direction, capturing an incredible amount of sunlight throughout the morning and into the day. Progressing to the first floor, you will find three spacious double bedrooms, with the primary bedroom sitting at the front of the property. All bedrooms offer adequate space for storage options, and the interior is then completed by a three piece bathroom suite.
