Somerset Street, Kingsdown, Bristol, BS2

A characterful Victorian home with far reaching views across the city.

Description

Occupying a tranquil position in the heart of Kingsdown is this generously proportioned family home with flexible accommodation over four floors. Constructed from traditional materials with many period features still intact including sash windows, cornicing and a number of fireplaces. Accommodation is flexible, measuring approximately 2,064 sq ft, with far-reaching views at the rear.
The welcoming entrance hall provides access to the ground floor reception rooms and central staircase leading to the lower ground and upper floors. The living room is positioned at the rear and enjoys a high degree of natural light due to the sunny orientation. Period features include cornicing, open fireplace with marble surround and sash windows overlooking the garden. A single door opens to a set of steps leading to the garden. Across the hall is a second reception room, previously used as a further bedroom, with plantation shutters, period fireplace and shelving in the alcoves.
Stairs descend to the lower ground floor which is predominantly open-plan but with clear and distinct zones. The kitchen is at the front of the plan and well-appointed with a range of wall and base units with solid oak worktops, induction hob, oven and space for free-standing appliances. At the rear of the plan is the light and bright dining room with a door opening out to the garden. Completing this floor is a useful utility room, WC and large storage cupboard.
Upstairs and on the first floor are three bedrooms including the principal bedroom with stripped floorboards, in-built wardrobes and an en-suite. The family bathroom is adjacent and the bedrooms at the rear have uninterrupted views across the city. On the top floor are two further bedrooms (not full height) in the apex roof with skylights and further views across the city. The ceiling heights are restricted on this floor but the rooms are accessible and can be used as bedrooms if required.
Externally and at the rear is a south-easterly facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn with a small patio area with space for seating, perfect for al fresco dining. There is access to the garden from both the ground floor and lower ground floor levels.
