The Old School House, Knowle, Bristol

Set within a Grade II listed Victorian-era school in Knowle, this stunning maisonette apartment is available to buy with no onward chain.

Overview

Enjoying around 120m2 of space over three floors, there is plenty of room to suit a variety of prospective owners. On the ground floor, there is a spacious entrance hallway with a WC with the main living space at the end. Three windows bring natural light into what is currently a dining/sitting room, and also into the kitchen which is connected to the rest of the space through an opening. The kitchen itself features ample cupboard and counter space, an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and oven/hob, as well as room for a washing machine. The original parquet flooring running throughout the ground floor is gorgeous and a nod to the buildings' past.

On the lower ground floor is a large room that has a variety of potential uses. Currently used as a studio, there are large and original arching windows that make you forget you are below the ground level thanks to the amount of light that pours in. An ideal living/family room or studio or somewhere to run a business from, there is also a 3mx2m room off the main space which is ideal for storage or use as a home office.

The upper floor has the two bedrooms, both of which are doubles, and the main bathroom. The primary bedroom is an excellent size, spanning the width of the property and enjoying one of the same arching feature windows as the living / studio space and with more than enough room for bedroom furniture essentials. The second bedroom is a smaller double but still adequately roomy for use as a guest room or for a child or lodger while the bathroom, as well as having a white suite with a shower over the bath, has access to a large storage cupboard. Loft storage is also available off the landing.

Outside

There is a courtyard with benches at the entrance to the building for residents, as well as a space running around the edge of the building where a number of residents have made a small space to enjoy directly outside of their property. There is also an allocated parking space with the property, accessed from the neighbouring Merrywood Court - there is a charger for an electric vehicle in situ.

Location

The Old School House is an iconic building in the heart of Upper Knowle that benefits from easy access to central Bristol and the numerous green spaces such as Redcatch park (0.2 miles) and Arnos Vale Park and Cemetery (0.4 miles / 0.8 miles) that draw people to the area. The soon to be developed Redcatch Quarter is around 5 minutes' walk away and will be a vibrant hub for the community. Temple Meads station (1.4 miles) Wapping Wharf (2.0 miles) and the centre itself (1.8 miles) are all an easy bus ride, walk or cycle along the Wells Road.
