Hollyguest Road, Hanham, Bristol, Gloucestershire, BS15

A rare opportunity to purchase this unique and charming 3/4 bedroom extended cottage originally built in 1876 and later thoughtfully expanded. Set in a quiet and peaceful part of Hanham.

Once inside the welcoming porch, the house itself is deceptively spacious, full of character and natural light with high ceilings, solid oak floors and large pivotal windows throughout offering far-reaching views. The accommodation includes a bright and airy open plan kitchen/diner fitted with state-of-the-art Keller kitchen (Dutch) units, a fully integrated eye level microwave and oven, washer-dryer and more – all of which remain for the new owners. A striking floor-to-ceiling window floods the dining space with light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The ground floor further provides a spacious sitting room with French doors opening onto the sunny patio. There is also a versatile downstairs room that could serve as a bedroom, office or additional space, complemented by a feature wood-burner, perfect for cosy evenings, plus a convenient downstairs bathroom and toilet.

Upstairs you will find three generous double bedrooms, an en-suite to the master and two additional bathrooms, one of which features a jacuzzi spa bath. The master bedroom also benefits from three fitted oak wardrobes, while the luxurious recently carpeted staircase and landing, together with three useful carpeted storage cupboards, add to the sense of practicality and comfort.

The gardens are a particular highlight of this property. Set within a generous plot they were once a show garden and are beautifully landscaped with exotic plants, mature shrubs, fruiting apple and fig trees, raised vegetable beds and colourful flower borders. Several quiet seating areas are dotted around, including three solid wooden benches that remain with the property. Furthermore the garden attracts wildlife, many birds and summer swifts. In addition there is a large greenhouse, shed, wooden workbench, wood store and a dedicated children’s playhouse and play space, making the grounds both practical and enchanting. A detached garage, a long secure gated driveway providing parking for five or six cars, and additional storage across two lofts with lighting and ladders further enhance the appeal.

Rarely do homes of this calibre come to the market in Hanham. Recently refurbished to a high standard, with scope for further extension if desired, this property offers a perfect balance of old-world charm and modern convenience. The area is particularly peaceful yet well connected with Hanham’s local shopping centre close by and an active leisure centre just a five-minute walk down the road. We highly recommend viewing this property to appreciate what this wonderful house has to offer.
