Monks Park Avenue, Horfield

"I bought Monks Park Avenue as my first renovation project, and the house has been an amazing family home and I will be sad to see it go. We started upstairs with taking the separate toilet to bathroom wall down to create a bigger bathroom with all new shower, bath and toilet plus electric underfloor heating, we then proceeded with rejuvenating the three upstairs bedrooms. I kept the original picture rails throughout as it was a nice way to contrast the paint colours in each room. Downstairs is where most of the work took place with creating a new under stairs toilet and storage, we then renovated the original staircase to what you see today. The kitchen is probably the showcase of the house with a new extension from the existing house where I also knocked through the existing kitchen/dining room wall to create what you see today with a total area of 8m x 6m kitchen/diner. We installed a wren kitchen with a large central island and breakfast bar, integrated dishwasher and two washer dryers. The entire extension is fitted with a hot water under floor system. The exterior of the house Was also completely renovated with a new driveway and garden including new artificial grass, multiple patios, bespoke shed/bar and smart Philips outdoor lighting."
