Draycott Road, Ashley Down

"Draycott Road has suited us wonderfully both as a young professional couple and more recently a family of four. The Lazy Dog is a great local serving top drinks, great food and being a hive of community spirit! Guild of Dough offers a top artisan bakery whilst the amazing independent bars, restaurants, cafes and shops on Gloucester Road are super close. For outings think Purdown, St Werburghs city farm, St Andrews Park and Horfield common. We hope you’ll be as happy here as we have!"

Draycott Road is a quiet cul-de-sac located just off of Muller Road, neatly tucked away whilst being well-positioned with easy access to Gloucester Road, and the city centre. Gloucester Road is one of the longest roads for independent shops, cafes & restaurants in the UK, including a diversity of options such as The Gallimaufry, Joe’s Bakery, the highly regarded Fed 303, Better Food and numerous independent butchers, grocers and shops. Ashley Down has a great community feel attracting a variety of different buyers and has recently been particularly desirable with young families due to the popular local Ashley Down School, and Brunel Fields Primary School. For those in want of green spaces, Purdown is but a 5-minute walk away, as well as the beautiful St Andrews Park. Buses run every five minutes from Gloucester Road and are also very regular on Ashley Down Road to the City Centre, alongside cycle paths for both cyclists and electric scooter users. If you are in need of great commuter links, the M32 is a short drive away that links to the City Centre, as well as out towards the M4 and M5. The property is also within easy reach of the soon to be opened Ashley Down train station, conveniently connecting the area to Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and beyond. Neighbouring road, Springfield Avenue has also recently been shut to through traffic so the road is now primarily used by residents.

A well-maintained and immaculately presented end-of-terrace period home on Draycott Road in Ashley Down. On top of the quality cosmetic finish, plenty of behind the scenes work has been actioned during the sellers ten-year tenure, including a complete rewire, new boiler with smart heating system and an entirely new roof, completed just over a year ago. Entrance is into a traditional hallway, with stripped wooden floorboards running underfoot which continue into the living room and dining area. On the first left, is the cosy living room, with a bay window, chimney breast and neutral style. Moving through the ground floor, is the focal point of the home, the kitchen/dining area, which was remodelled only two years ago to create the contemporary open plan arrangement. The dining area is substantially sized, and double patio doors allow for plenty of natural light and provide access to the garden. The galley kitchen provides plenty of storage cupboards and work surfaces, as well as ample space for appliances. At the back of the kitchen you access the family bathroom suite, with shower over bath. Moving to the first floor, the style and finish is mirrored in virtually all bedrooms, and the great benefit of this home is that they all offer ample space for a double bed and storage options. The primary bedrooms sit at the front of the home, spanning the width of the property, benefitting from multiple window frames to maximise the natural light. The third bedroom sits at the top of the stairs with the second bedroom in between. The garden is superb arrangement of a mature lawn, shrubbery, large ornamental cherry tree and a spacious wooden decking area for entertaining. The plot also faces in a north-westerly direction, capturing an incredible amount of sunlight from midday onwards. Off street parking is also in abundance, which is unique for the area, and results from the cul-de-sac displaying a small row of terraced homes. This property further benefits from side access, adjacent to the left hand side of the property, leading directly to the garden.
