Haverstock Road, Knowle

" Living on Haverstock Road has been such a positive experience for our family. It’s a friendly, creative and welcoming community, surrounded by green spaces and great viewpoints. We’ll really miss our lovely neighbours, the views of hot air balloons and fireworks drifting over the city. We’ve put a lot of love into making this house work for us, and it’s become a real hub for family life and get-togethers. The open-plan kitchen and living space is perfect for cooking, chatting and entertaining whether it be parties, dinner with friends, children's gatherings or summer evenings spilling out into the garden. It’s a home that’s great fun to live in and easy to enjoy. It will be hard to leave, but we know this home will offer its next owners just as many happy moments as it has given us. It’s a comfortable, characterful home in a great community, a place that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave. "

The Home

Nestled on Haverstock Road, this beautifully extended mid-terrace home perfectly blends period charm with contemporary living. Recently renovated to celebrate its original features, the property offers stylish, flexible spaces ideal for modern family life.
At the front of the home, the elegant reception room is flooded with natural light from a bay window featuring original stained-glass panels. The room’s character is enhanced by a log burner, built-in alcove storage, and stunning period details including the original ceiling rose and dado rail.
A second reception room sits at the heart of the house, currently used as a cosy snug - a versatile space that’s perfect for reading, working, or children’s play. This opens into the kitchen, dining, and family area - the 'hub' of the house, a spectacular award-winning extension recognised for ‘Best Urban Development’. With its pitched ceiling, glass gable, and bi-fold doors leading onto the garden, this space is both bright and expansive. The modern kitchen features a large island and ample storage, creating the perfect setting for family gatherings or entertaining friends.
Discreetly tucked away, a practical utility area provides space for laundry and cleaning essentials, complemented by a smart under-stairs WC.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a luxurious family bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. The loft conversion adds a stunning master suite, complete with an en-suite shower room, walk-in dressing area, and ample eaves storage. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views across the city - the perfect vantage point for Bristol’s famous hot air balloons and fireworks.

The Outside

Set back from the street, the front garden features the original Victorian tiled path, flower beds, and a large wooden bike shed and bin store. The rear garden is designed for easy outdoor living, with a patio area for dining, raised sleeper beds, and a lawned area.
