Bloomfield Road, Brislington

“We love the space that this house has given us - it’s allowed us to grow our family and my business, as well as being a great space to have friends and family round and for the kids to play. I love having a cup of tea in the garden - it’s a lovely sunny spot to take 5! Being so close to the school and high street is fantastic - it feels like there’s a real sense of community, always seeing someone you know!”

The home

A four-bedroom end terrace house with a large garage and side access. The ground floor has a really nice flow to it as the living room has been opened up to adjoin the generous dining room, this is the heart of the house and is a bright space due to the French doors leading out to the side garden and light traveling through the bay window at the front of the house. The kitchen has been thoughtfully done with grey shaker-style units, a butler's sink, wooden worktops and a range cooker. Off the back of the kitchen there's a handy utility room with a downstairs toilet and a lovely sunroom that opens out onto the garden. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms across two floors. The main bedroom on the first floor is generous in size with a striking teal feature wall, wooden floors and bay window There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, one currently used as a kids' room and another that works well as an office or guest bedroom, with enough space to accommodate a double bed. The main family bathroom on the first floor has a freestanding roll-top bath, patterned floor tiles and a skylight. On the top floor is the dormer loft conversion with its own en-suite shower room and views across Bristol. The owners have renovated pretty much every room since moving, redecorating walls, restoring original floorboards and adding traditional block style radiators to keep the character of a Victorian home.

Outside space

There's a decked terrace right outside the back door with plenty of room for a table and chairs. Beyond that there's a low maintenance artificial lawn area and a charming pergola seating spot with climbing plants. To the side of the home the garden has been turned into a children's play area and the garage sits at the back which is also accessible via the lane that runs down the side of the home, it's useful for parking, storage and bikes
