High Kingsdown, Kingsdown

"We've loved living here - it's the perfect location for our lives. We can walk to the Lido, Clifton Village, the Everyman Cinema, restaurants on Cotham Hill and close to the Mount Without. Plus hospitals,
the university, sports centre, city centre, bus station and harbourside - so convenient! The house itself is light and airy, feels private even though it's in a friendly community and on a pedestrianised estate with people walking and families meeting up in the playground."

A charmingly quiet yet hugely convenient spot in Kingsdown, close to central Bristol. The pocket in which this home sits is never visited by through-traffic but is one from which residents can quickly reach much of what the city has to offer. The house is situated just on the north of the City Centre, between Cotham and Montpelier. Kingsdown is an area of Bristol which has some substantial Georgian homes, off of historic cobbled streets which have some stories to tell. There is a huge breadth of outstanding amenities on the doorstep including cafes and bars, such as Nadu, Bullrush and Bravas. The access into the City Centre is also fantastic for shopping and eating out. Historic spots like The Christmas Steps and its famous pub, are just a five minute walk away into the centre of the city. Major bus and train stations are also within walking distance providing easy access to London, the North or the South West. Access out of the city is also as simple as the view to the countryside from the house would suggest, with the M32 nearby providing access to the M4 and the Cotswolds, with the Mendips and Chew Valley accessible to the south of the city. For commuters, several major areas of employment are nearby as well including the BRI, Bristol University and retail at Cabot Circus, meaning this can be a fantastic and sizeable city centre base.

A breathtakingly stylish and well-curated interior, within a 1970's build, in the hugely popular and desirable location of High Kingsdown. Tasteful and meticulous design along with maximum natural light has been at the forefront of not just the architects minds, but the departing sellers, who have enjoyed just over a decade on the estate. The home's focal point is the alluring living, dining and kitchen area, beautifully opened to suit functional, yet contemporary family living. Engineered oak flooring runs underfoot, which expertly contrasts with the neutral decoration. This is further enhanced by the multiple glass sliding doors, leading to the garden. This allows the space to reap the benefits of the south-west facing garden, which is a superb setting especially in the summer. Heading back to the beginning of the property, a small hallway greets you, along with a W.C and modern kitchen, with matching wall and base units. The garden is extremely private, which is rare for the area and requires little maintenance. A distinctive array of plants and flowers create a tranquil setting, and the garden is ideal for enjoying alfresco dining and entertaining family and friends. The plot also features a single garage attached to it, and is one of the only properties on the estate to benefit from this. The garage is mainly used for storage, but also features power and lighting.

An exposed staircase takes you to the first floor of the home, which virtually mirrors the style and quality of the floor below. Bedroom one sits at the furthest point of the landing, with windows spanning the width of the room, large integrated storage options and carpet flooring underfoot. Adjacent is the third bedroom, and currently being used to its full capabilities, functioning as not just a spare bedroom, but home office and library. The floor is then completed by the second bedroom, and immaculate three piece bathroom suite. On the landing, there is a hatch with a loft ladder, providing access to the attic space which is ideal for storage and is fully boarded.
