THE PROPERTY This charming and beautifully presented Victorian three-bedroom home is located in the highly desirable and much-admired area of Fulflood, renowned for its strong community feel and close proximity to the city centre and travel links. The property dates from 1879, built by John Wise Jacob of Fulflood and offers generously proportioned accommodation, delightful gardens and a wealth of original period features that reflect its heritage and character.

A brick-paved pathway runs alongside the front garden and leads to the part-glazed front door, featuring attractive leaded glass panels that set the tone for what lies beyond. The welcoming entrance hall provides access to all principal ground floor rooms, with stairs rising to the first floor and descending to the cellar.

Glazed double doors open into the elegant sitting room, which is filled with natural light from a large bay window. The room is rich in character, with built-in bookshelves and cupboards framing a beautiful fireplace with green glazed tiled surround and mantelpiece. Moulded cornicing and a picture rail further enhance the period charm.

The spacious dining room enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and features an open fireplace with recessed alcoves to either side, along with moulded cornicing and a picture rail, making it an ideal space for entertaining. A short inner hallway leads past a cloakroom and useful storage for coats and shoes, as well as a door to the cellar room. The cellar is carpeted and benefits from natural light via a rear window, offering flexible additional space.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys lovely views over the long and attractive garden. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with a range of base and eye-level units, work surfaces with tiled splashbacks, and space and plumbing for integrated appliances. A large side window provides excellent natural light to the breakfast area, while an exposed brick feature fireplace and chimney add further character.

From the kitchen, and accessed externally from the garden, is a brick-built lean-to, currently used for a tumble dryer and garden storage.

On the first floor, the spacious landing features built-in storage wardrobes, a picture rail and access to the loft space, which may offer potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents. There are three bedrooms on this floor, comprising a principal bedroom, a comfortable guest bedroom and a further double bedroom, all served by a family bathroom fitted with a panel-enclosed bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC and heated towel rail.

Outside, the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted borders containing spring bulbs, shrubs and a specimen tree. A side path leads to the front door, and it is worth noting that some neighbouring properties within the terrace have previously converted their front gardens into off-road parking, subject to permissions.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, extending to over 100 feet in length. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is complemented by well-stocked borders, mature trees and shrubs, creating a peaceful and private setting. A patio area adjacent to the kitchen provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining, while a gravelled area at the sunny end of the garden offers a wonderful space for summer entertaining and relaxation. Further benefits include a garden shed for storage and a discreet hedged area to the rear for composting and garden materials.
