Brynland Avenue, Bishopston

"Being so close to Gloucester Road growing up was a dream! We were very spoilt having everything on our doorstep. We also love the private garden, which gets lots of sun."

The home

A three-bedroom Victorian terraced home on Brynland Avenue in Bishopston, offering a well-proportioned floorplan and retaining a number of period features typical of the era. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to two separate reception rooms, used as sitting and dining room. These rooms reflect the generous proportions often found in Victorian homes and feature details such as high ceilings, large sash-style windows and decorative mouldings. To the rear is a spacious kitchen/diner, offering plenty of room for family dining and with potential to be extended with a side return. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Although the property would benefit from modernisation throughout, it retains the character and layout of a traditional Victorian terrace, offering the opportunity to restore and adapt the home while preserving its original charm.

The outside space

At the front is a small front garden, which is of low maintenance, and a pathway leads to the front door. At the rear, the garden is private and faces north west, ideal for afternoon and evening sun.
