Bristol Road, Whitchurch, Bristol, Bristol

A substantial Edwardian home with an imposing double-fronted façade, The Old School House offers four reception rooms, four well-sized bedrooms, and a layout that works as well for day-to-day living as it does for hosting.

At the top of the house, a private roof terrace enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside, while the garden has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its space, featuring an outdoor kitchen and a separate bar.

In addition, the property benefits from ample parking and a spacious garage.

Overview

The front door opens into a central hallway that runs straight through to the garden, bringing in natural light and giving an immediate sense of scale.

Two reception rooms sit at the front, both with bay windows and working fireplaces. They’re similar in size, making them flexible—either as a formal living/dining space, or something more relaxed.

To the rear, there is a family room with a log burner which, connects directly to a bright playroom, creating a space that can adapt as needed. The kitchen is practical and well laid out, with tiled flooring and direct access to a large utility room and cloakroom.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generous doubles. The main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a neatly integrated en-suite. A second bedroom also has its own en-suite, while a third opens onto the roof terrace—an elevated spot with long views towards the Dundry Hills.

Outside

The front of the house is set behind a gated driveway with paved parking and access to the garage.

The rear garden is more than just a backdrop—it’s been structured to work across different seasons. A wide terrace sits closest to the house for outdoor dining, leading to a large lawn bordered by mature trees and planting that changes through the year.

At the far end, a timber-built structure creates a versatile outdoor kitchen and seating area. Fully equipped with power and lighting, it’s a space designed for year-round enjoyment. While located on the patio, there is a converted garden room which adds a unique touch, currently styled as a private bar known as the “Drunken Monkey".

Location

Whitchurch sits just to the south of Bristol, offering a quieter setting without feeling remote. Local shops, schools, and everyday amenities are all close by, and there are regular bus routes into the city centre.

The surrounding area opens quickly into countryside, with places like the Chew Valley providing walking, cycling, and other outdoor options within a short drive. It’s a location that works well for those who want access to both city and rural environments without committing fully to either.

We think...

The Old School House is a stunning Edwardian home that combines generous proportions with a practical, adaptable layout. Overall this is an amazing family home ideal for a family looking for something offering ample space and ready to move into.
