Beauchamp Road, Bishopston

"My fiancée and I have loved restoring the beautiful Victorian features of this house. The floors and fireplaces had been covered for decades so we were excited to find them remarkably unspoiled. Beyond the house we’ll miss the incredible location. Our quiet road is home to a close-knit community of families and a regular street party, while Gloucester Road offers endless indie shops, cafés and events to explore. Special mention to weekend charity-shop crawls via Joe’s Bakery and FED 313!"

The home.

The quintessential Bishopston home. This three double-bedroom, two bathroom, two reception room, double bay-fronted Victorian home has an attractive blend of historical character and contemporary renovation, and a super homely vibe. All the classic features, so beloved of the era - stripped floors, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and large rooms - are all present and correct. It's also rare to see one of these houses in its original layout, with potential to extend upwards and outwards, enabling the home to grow with the family. Within the catchment of several excellent schools and close to the Gloucester Road, this home has the added bonus of no chain. An excellent buy for a young family planning to stay long-term in an ever-popular Bristol postcode.

The outside.

A sizable garden with a raised shingle area for al fresco dining, plenty of lawn area to kick a ball about or just lap up the sun. There is a good-sized shed for gardening tools and handy access to a rear alley, which exits via a locked gate to Monk Road.
