Bath Road, Bristol, BS30

Set just back from Bath Road in Longwell Green, this is a home that has comfortably kept up with a busy family life. Five children, dogs, work and gatherings, it’s handled it all, while still offering quieter corners when needed.

Downstairs, the strength is in how the space connects. The kitchen is where mornings naturally begin, settled into the sofa area while the day starts to unfold. From there, everything flows; through to the dining space beneath the roof lantern, into the summer room, and out into the garden. It’s an easy layout for both everyday living and having people over.

Working from home fits in naturally. There’s good light under the lantern, fast broadband already tested by a full household, and space to step away without feeling tucked out of sight.

In the evenings, the house shifts tone. Closing the lounge doors creates a more contained, comfortable space, and the sellers would often light an indoor bioethanol fire, adding a softer kind of warmth. It’s a place to properly switch off.

Upstairs, all six double bedrooms sit quietly, set back enough from the road to feel removed from it. Underfloor heating runs throughout all three floors, giving a steady warmth, while practical details like strong water pressure and a water softener have been well thought through for a full household.

Outside, the garden has been shaped around how it’s actually used. There are distinct spots to sit at different times of day morning light on the decking, sun on the patio at lunchtime, and the last of the evening light lower down. In summer, the house and garden begin to feel like one continuous space, with doors open and movement between inside and out.

The location makes day-to-day life straightforward, with shops and amenities within walking distance, while also offering easy access to open walks towards Keynsham and Hanham.

Over time, the house has been extended to improve both space and flow, most notably with the addition of the orangery, which has become part of the way the home opens outwards.

What the current owners will miss most is the life the house has held; summer gatherings, busy family days, and the sense that there was always room for everyone to come together.
