Highbury Road, Horfield

"After twenty wonderful years in this home, it's time for a new chapter—and a new owner to create their own memories here. From birthday parties to family dinners, the spacious kitchen/diner has been the heart of our home. It's so roomy, it’s even doubled as a dancefloor on more than one occasion! The layout offers flexibility—rooms have evolved with our family, transforming from playrooms to offices as our needs changed. The garden has been a sun drenched peaceful haven but also another entertaining space for us to enjoy over the years."

The home

A spacious and stylishly presented three bedroom double bay fronted Victorian family house with loads of natural light and a wonderful, homely vibe. With so many of the features of the era that buyers love, including open fires, pretty tiled entrance hall, ornate cornicing, modern sash windows and high ceilings. The house really does combine character with contemporary perfectly, with a super kitchen/breakfast room with loads of space for a dining table, a second reception room that could be used as either a formal dining room or handy home office and a great lounge. Three excellent bedrooms and a bathroom found off what is a great family home.

Outside

The house is entered through a walled front garden. At the rear is a great sized South West facing garden with a full width raised stone patio at the end, perfect for those sunny afternoons and evenings. If the sun gets too much there's a shady side return to chill out in.
