Blakeney Road, Horfield, Bristol

Tucked away on the desirable Blakeney Road in Horfield, this charming red-brick home has been lovingly restored, offering colourful, light-filled interiors and a south-facing garden that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Overview

The ground floor features two spacious reception rooms — one ideal for dining, the other for relaxing — with a well-presented kitchen that seamlessly connects the two. Just off the kitchen, a contemporary three-piece bathroom suite adds convenience and comfort. Throughout this level, soft neutral tones enhance the natural light, highlighting the home’s original features and creating a bright, inviting atmosphere. Thoughtful updates have introduced flexibility to the layout, allowing the space to work effortlessly around modern living — whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet night in.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the property and features plush carpet flooring along with useful built-in storage. The second double bedroom offers excellent versatility, while the third, currently arranged as a single, would make an ideal nursery or home office with a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.

Outside

The south-west facing garden at the rear is a real standout feature of the home and is beautifully presented. A large portion of the garden is primarily laid out as lawn, with mature trees and a high-level fence that ensures privacy. There is also a useful patio seating area accessed directly from the rear extension, which provides ample space for garden furniture, perfect for dining outside during the summer months.
