Lancashire Road, Bristol, BS7

This impressive five-bedroom semi-detached home is situated on one of Bishopstons premier roads, close to the independent shops, cafés, and restaurants lining the popular Gloucester Road. It is also within close proximity to St Andrews Park, Fairfield and Trinity Secondary Schools, and Sefton Park and Brunel Field Primary Schools.

The property retains many period features and has been thoughtfully upgraded to a high standard, with significant improvements made by the current owners, including a new kitchen, bi-folding doors, and a complete overhaul of the gardens.

The front of the property has a beautiful Wisteria climbing the stone facade, off-street parking, a tiled pathway to the entrance, and a variety of mature plants and shrubbery. At the entrance door, a central hall offers a practical space to tuck away shoes and coats, with doors to the ground-floor reception rooms and an understairs storage cupboard. From here, parquet flooring runs through the entire ground floor and into the sitting room.

The spacious sitting room extends the entire width of the property and features double-glazed bay and picture windows to the front, cornice and a gas-fueled, period-style fireplace. At the rear, the family/dining room is bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling bi-doors and windows that connect seamlessly to the rear garden. The room retains built-in bookshelves, cornice, picture rail, a wood-burning stove and is open to the kitchen. The kitchen extends an impressive 7m in length and has an additional set of bi-folding doors onto the rear garden, as well as two large skylight windows, allowing an abundance of natural light into the home. A range of handleless contemporary units offers plenty of storage alongside integrated appliances, including a gas hob and an electric oven with an extractor fan over.  

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is similar in size to the sitting room and is decorated in neutral tones with double-glazed bay and picture windows overlooking the front. Across the hall, bedrooms two and three have double-glazed windows and views over the rear. The stylish bathroom suite completes the first floor and comprises: a panelled bath, a standalone shower cubicle, metro-style wall tiles, and dual-aspect double-glazed windows. On the second floor, there are two additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room and a large eaves storage cupboard.  

The garden has been fully landscaped and features a great range of mature trees and shrubs along its borders, as well as a porcelain-tiled patio area for al-fresco dining, partly covered by a timber pergola and accessible via wide bi-fold doors and a side gate. A central lawn is bordered by paved paths leading onto a raised decked seating area constructed just two years ago of IRO charred timber, which basks in afternoon and evening sunshine in the summer months. Additionally, there is a timber-framed storage shed and a combination of contemporary horizontal fencing, lap-panel fencing, and a wall enclosing the garden.

The house further benefits from off-street parking, a rare advantage in this quiet residential road, ensuring ease of access for residents and visitors. Located just a short stroll from the vibrant amenities of Gloucester Road, with its array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, the property is also within easy reach of St Andrews Park. Well-regarded local schools are nearby, making this an excellent choice for families seeking both space and convenience. This beautifully presented Victorian home combines generous proportions, period charm, and modern comforts in a desirable location, offering an outstanding opportunity in one of the area’s most popular neighbourhoods.
