Cornwall Road, Bishopston

A five-bedroom Victorian home with a southwest-facing garden, sold with no onward chain and within the Redland Green APR. Having been well-maintained and extended by the current owners, the property offers well-balanced accommodation with further scope to extend.

The accommodation comprises a sitting room with replacement Idigbo timber sash windows to a bay, decorative cornice, built-in cabinetry and shelving, exposed wooden floorboards and a working cast iron fireplace with slate hearth. The versatile second reception has exposed wooden floorboards, a wood-burning stove and French doors leading to the rear garden. At the rear, the breakfast room features exposed wooden floorboards, a double-glazed window to the side elevation and a door to the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, an integrated gas hob, a Bosch oven, space for freestanding appliances and a door to the garden. There is scope to combine both rooms or extend into the side return to create a large open-plan space.

The principal bedroom spans the entire width at the front of the property, with replacement Idigbo timber sash windows, a bay and picture window, shelving, alcoves, and carpet. The second double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden. Beyond, the third bedroom has a double-glazed window, a Velux window and Karndean flooring. Next to this is the shower room with a walk-in shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and a wall-mounted heated towel rail.

A further staircase leads up to two bedrooms and a bathroom at the top of the house. This well-designed loft conversion has a double bedroom to the front with access to eaves storage and two Velux windows. The double bedroom next door has large floor-to-ceiling Velfac sliding doors opening to a Juliet balcony with a glazed balustrade with far-reaching views towards the City and Dundry hills. The wall between both rooms is not load-bearing and could be opened to create one larger bedroom. A bathroom completes this floor and comprises a bathtub with a shower over, glazed shower screen, wash hand basin, w.c., heated towel rail and a double-glazed window to the rear.

Externally, at the rear is an attractive, southwest-facing garden with gated rear access. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, flanked by well-planted borders and a leafy backdrop of trees, including a snake bark Acer with striking red foliage in the autumn, a mature Silver Birch and a Cotoneaster at the end of the garden, which is very popular with the bees, and in the autumn is a good source of berries for the birds.

Cornwall Road is a popular location with an annual street party. It is in the APR for Bishop Road and Redland Green schools and is close to the popular amenities along Gloucester Road.
