Fairfield Road, Southville

“We were instantly drawn to the high ceilings and big proportions, making for a light and airy space. We’ve carefully refurbished the house over the years, taking our time to create a calm and warm home. One of our favourite spots has to be the garden, which is private and south west facing, so a real sun-trap. To this day we are amazed by the peacefulness and quiet that feels a million miles away from the bustle of North Street even though it is in fact only 50 meters away. We have loved our time in Southville and on Fairfield Road and we're now proud to offer someone else the chance to love it as much as we have.”

This home

This three-bedroom Victorian home has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners over the past six years, combining period character with modern updates. The ground floor features herringbone and wooden flooring throughout. At the front of the home is a tastefully decorated living room with a bay window, shutters, fitted storage and a feature fireplace. Behind this is a second reception room, with a lean-to that brings in plenty of natural light, making it a flexible space that could work well as a family room or for working from home. To the rear, there is a dining room leading through to a recently fitted kitchen with views over the garden.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a stylish fitted bathroom. Overall, this family home offers a good balance of original features and practical living space, with the option to grow into such as converting the loft for additional rooms.

Outside

The garden enjoys a low maintenance finish with artificial lawn and outdoor porcelain floor tiles for summer dining. The garden is south west facing and is not overlooked from behind unlike similar homes in the area.
