Ravenswood Road, Cotham, Bristol, BS6

A substantial & highly versatile semi-detached Victorian family home with off-street parking and sunny rear garden, situated in a prime Redland location.

Description

A golden opportunity to acquire this striking period home dating back to 1896 which has been lovingly cherished by our clients since 1988 and now presents exciting potential.

The house is primarily approached via original stone pillars and a pathway running alongside the driveway to the left of the property, leading to the main front door. This opens into an entrance vestibule, with a door directly ahead to the rear garden, while a partially glazed door to the right leads into the ground floor entrance hallway.

The property can also be accessed from the lower ground floor via its own private entrance, currently arranged as a self-contained one-bedroom annexe which could be let out if needed. This highly versatile space offers excellent potential as an additional income stream or could comfortably accommodate a teenager, lodger, or dependent relative. Equally, it can be seamlessly reintegrated into the main house, as it has not been permanently separated from the ground floor hallway above, thereby enhancing the overall living space or being utilised as additional storage space dependent upon ones’ needs.

The ground floor of this beautiful period home to the front elevation provides access to the gorgeous bay fronted drawing room which retains perfectly intact period cornicing, ceiling rose & cast iron fireplace. Adjacent is a useful study room with stripped wooden floorboards which are a re-occurring theme throughout this level. To the rear elevation, is the practical & functional kitchen/diner which outlooks the south east facing rear garden. The kitchen briefly compromises of a variety of wall, base & drawer units – and has a sociable island which sits centrally and acts as a breakfast bar for informal dining. Adjacent to the kitchen/dining room is a utility area (14’2 x8’5) which provides access out to the rear garden, but could be easily used as an additional reception room due to its generous dimensions.

From the ground floor entrance hallway, staircase with beautiful wooden balustrade ascends to the wide first floor landing and a separate staircase beneath in turn descends down to the lower ground floor.

On the first floor, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principle room benefiting from access via a ‘Jack & Jill’ style approach to the family bathroom. The second room which enjoys a southerly aspect and leafy outlook over the rear garden, also benefits from a en suite shower room. Additionally, approached off the ground floor hallway is an additional room which is uniquely not accessed off the main staircase like others in the area despite being located technically on the upper first floor split landing, this dates back from the property having originally been two, three bedroom maisonettes which our clients converted back into a family home in 1988. On the lower ground floor there is access off to bedroom five with its own modern en suite.
