castle Street, Bristol, BS35

This charming period home beautifully blends warmth, character and flexible living space, complemented by a generous rear garden and an abundance of original features throughout, creating a wonderfully cosy and characterful home. Situated in a highly sought-after location in the heart of Thornbury’s conservation area, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special property.

A traditional wooden front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with coat hooks and attractive stripped floorboards, immediately setting the tone for the character found throughout. The property benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows throughout, all in keeping with the conservation area, and gas central heating powered by a recently fitted Worcester combination boiler, offering both comfort and efficiency.

A character door leads into the lounge, a wonderfully cosy and inviting room featuring stripped floorboards, shutters and a charming log burner which efficiently heats the home, enhancing the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The ground floor flows through to an open-plan dining room and kitchen, providing an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining. The dining room retains stripped floorboards and features a character fireplace with oven, along with useful built-in storage, while a feature door leads to the staircase.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is a built-in oven and hob, ceramic sink and opening Velux windows that flood the space with natural light. A stable-style door and window overlook the beautifully established rear garden, reinforcing the cottage feel. The kitchen also offers space and plumbing for a washing machine, along with a useful larder cupboard housing the recently fitted Worcester combination boiler (under warranty) and additional storage.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, positioned to the front of the property, is a particularly attractive room enjoying shutters, a feature fireplace, exposed brickwork and a charming window seat. The second double bedroom, located to the rear, features a fireplace, built-in wardrobe and a sash window overlooking the garden with pleasant views. A modern shower room with tiled walls and flooring completes this level.

Painted wooden stairs rise to the upper floors. The second floor provides a well-proportioned third double bedroom with stripped wooden floors, exposed beams, a feature wall and a generous built-in storage cupboard. The fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office, library and guest room, enjoys a lovely window overlooking the garden and surrounding views.

This floor is further enhanced by a stylish ensuite bathroom featuring a claw-foot bath, walk-in shower and Velux windows offering views towards the nearby church. Additional Velux windows on the landing flood the space with natural light and further highlight the elevated outlook. Also accessed from this level is a part-boarded loft, offering useful additional storage.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, being generous in size and enjoying a spacious patio area ideal for barbecues, entertaining and family gatherings.
