Grove Park Road, Brislington

“Restoring Grove Park Road back to its former glory has been a real joy. The street is lovely and quiet and passing neighbours are smiley and friendly. It feels like a lovely, safe neighbourhood in which I'd happily live. I’ve enjoyed walking to Sandy Park for a coffee and in Kin, and stocking up in tasty treats in the deli. I really hope the next owners enjoy this wonderful house”

The house

A mid terrace Victorian house that has been renovated throughout by its current owner. Downstairs is an open plan living room/reception room with a bay window raised above the street letting in masses of light and double doors to the rear to the garden. The kitchen has been knocked through and opened up to create a modern kitchen/diner with feature window overlooking the garden and there is an additional downstairs loo. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which are great doubles and a modern family bathroom.

The outside

The rear garden has a decked area for outdoor dining and a good lawn. It is also a blank canvas and ready to be planted with shrubs and trees. There is also rear access to a lane.
