Halstock Avenue, Fishponds

"Our garden gets sun basically all day, it pours into the house first thing & in the summer it remains at the end of the garden until early evening, which is a great way to end the day. Being so close to the cycle path is amazing, a vein that runs through so many parts of the city, into the centre making the place very connected. Plenty of parks nearby has been great for young kids, snuff mills is a short walk away, it's easy to forget you're in the city sometimes."

The home

A thoughtfully styled and expertly crafted end of terrace home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Fishponds, boasting a functional and spacious studio/outbuilding. Distinctive tone's throughout has resulted in an incredibly vibrant and creative interior, sat within a spacious floorplan and offering good natural light in every room. Entrance is into a large porch, leading through to the hallway. Underneath the staircase/landing is a storage cupboard and utility room with a toilet and shower. On the first left is the sumptuous living with alcove shelving and ceiling cornice. Continuing through the hallway you are greeted by the open plan kitchen/living/dining area, the focal point of the home. The renovation was completed a few years ago, and the current sellers added the contemporary kitchen, knocked through walls and added bi-fold patio doors and velux windows. The space is truly impressive and has been perfect for their growing family. Heading upstairs much of the style and quality is mirrored to the floor below. To the front are two double bedrooms, with one used as a home office and the other as a children's bedroom. At the back of the first floor, with pleasant views of the garden is the primary bedroom with integrated wardrobes and a striking & recently renovated three piece family bathroom. Since the property was purchased six years ago, the property has undergone a full rewire, new central heating system and plumbing including a boiler.

The outside space

The plot begins with a spacious two car driveway and side access on the right side of the property. The garden is accessed off of the bi-folding doors from the dining area, beginning with a substantial patio area. The garden faces east, and captures an incredible amount of sunlight throughout the day. Next is a storage unit and lawn. The garden was landscaped four years ago, with the garage conversion into the home studio happening shortly after. There are a variety of flowerbeds and veg patches, and a pebbled patio area in front of the studio. The studio looks out into the garden, boasting vaulted ceilings with skylights and a W.C. It was built with environmentally responsible materials and top quality insulation, making it a cosy and multi-purpose space. There are two significant storage units adjacent.
