Cotswold Road, Bedminster, Bristol

Nestled in the sought-after Windmill Hill area of Bristol, this substantial Victorian residence dating back to around 1895 offers an inviting family haven. Proudly held within the same family since 2001, it now graces the market for the first time. Boasting four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a study/bedroom 5, two bathrooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility area, bike store, and a rear garden with its own skateboard corner, this property caters to modern family living.

Upon entry, the sense of space is immediately apparent, spread across five floors to accommodate a growing family's needs. Throughout, period features blend seamlessly with contemporary updates, exemplified by recently installed hand-built wooden sash windows, maintaining the property's historic charm. The entrance hall, adorned with original coving and floorboards, leads to the ground floor's well-appointed rooms.

The sitting room, illuminated by a bay window, features an original fireplace framed by a slate hearth and wooden surround. A practical cupboard offers convenient storage for coats and shoes. The kitchen crafted by local artisans in a charming light blue hue, showcases ample cabinetry, a Rangemaster cooker, Belfast sink, and wooden worktops, complemented by a larder cupboard and integrated Zanussi dishwasher. Space for a dining table and chairs for the family to gather at mealtimes.

Descending to the lower ground floor, bedroom 2 offers generous space and garden views, while a second sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove, opens to a bike storage area at the front. Further down, the basement hosts a bathroom with modern amenities and a utility area with laundry provisions, both accessing the rear garden.
Ascending to the first floor reveals the master bedroom, bathed in natural light, alongside a second double bedroom, each offering storage solutions and laminate flooring.

The topmost level unveils an office space and an elegant bathroom, showcasing a freestanding clawfoot bath, dual sinks, and wood-panelled walls, cleverly converted from loft space.

Sellers Insight
We have absolutely loved our 30 years living on Windmill Hill. Initially we lived at the top of the Hill and when it came to moving to our family home, Cotswold Rd was the perfect choice. We wanted to continue to enjoy this wonderful area, the space of Victoria Park, the local city farm plus the vibrancy of North Street and the docks. Our children have been able to attend local schools from reception right through to sixth form and a key bonus is that they have been able to walk to and from school and grow in their independence.

As our children grew the house has grown with us. The playroom became a den where we now watch movies as a family and in the garden the sand play area became a skate park! At each moment the house met our needs and has provided a welcoming space for friends and family.

We love the brightness of the house and the large rooms, mixed with a friendly community that always look out for each other and enjoy a community gathering on the local green. It has been a wonderful home for 23 years and now it is time to seek new adventures.
