Monk Road, Bishopston

"Monk Road has an amazing community feel. From the yearly street parties with live music & children playing in the street, to the carolling at Christmas. Quietly nestled away next to the allotments but just five minutes from Gloucester Road. The Bishop Road playground entrance is on Monk Road making school pickups nice and easy. We have great storage with the garden outbuilding and lots of easily accessible space for bikes in the lock-up at the front. Our direct neighbours are also the loveliest in Bristol!"

A remarkable example of a Victorian home on a sought after road in Bishopston, displaying a sumptuous and feature filled living room and a generously sized west facing garden with a handy office room/outbuilding. A porch greets you, leading to a hallway with oak flooring underfoot. On the first right is the formal reception room, boasting the bay window, mantlepiece and picture rails. Progressing through the ground floor, underneath the stairs you'll find a W.C, which leads to the kitchen/dining area. First is the dining area, spacious enough for a large table, leading to an opening through to the kitchen with lots of natural light. Before that, you find the second reception room, used as a playroom currently, with a lean to providing access to the garden. Adjacent is the kitchen, benefitting from Quartz worktops which tastefully contrast with the matching wall & base units, along with integrated appliances, such as an oven and dishwasher. New flooring has recently been laid in the dining room. From the kitchen you access the rear garden, facing west and capturing sun mainly from midday to the evening. The garden is a contrast of lawn and patio. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, with a family bathroom suite in between no. two and three. The primary bedroom sits at the front of the home, benefitting from the second bay window and carpet flooring. The loft space is a fantastic area for storage and there is plenty of scope for a substantial loft conversion if required.
