Mangotsfield Road, Mangotsfield

"The views out of the window, especially at sunset, with the tress framing the view never fails to give you a sense of calm. Spending time in the garden, surrounded by mature trees makes you feel like you are in your own secret garden but once you leave the house you can walk to Staple Hill High Street or Emerson’s Green village in fifteen minutes!"

The home

Set on a generous south-facing plot on Mangotsfield Road, this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers over 1,100 sq. ft. of versatile living space, a wonderfully private wrap-around garden and rare off-street parking for up to four cars in front of a detached garage, accessed via Morley Avenue rather than Mangotsfield Road itself.

The house has an immediate sense of space from the moment you arrive. A welcoming porch leads into a central hallway, with a cosy front living room positioned on your right; a calm and inviting space with soft tones, a feature fireplace and large picture window overlooking the garden. To the rear, the dining room spans the width of the house and comfortably accommodates a large family table, making it ideal for entertaining or day-to-day family life. The kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully updated with sleek contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and plenty of worktop space, with room for casual dining too. The layout flows particularly well, connecting naturally to the garden and patio beyond, while a downstairs WC and utility cupboard add practicality. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a third bedroom ideal as a nursery, child’s room or home office. The family bathroom has been finished in natural stone-style tiling with a clean, modern feel.

The outside space

Externally, the plot is a real highlight. The wrap-around garden creates a feeling of privacy and openness that is difficult to find in this area, with mature planting, established trees and multiple areas to sit, play or entertain throughout the day. The south-facing orientation means the garden enjoys excellent natural light, while the substantial patio provides an ideal setting for summer evenings. To the rear of the plot is a detached garage and a large driveway with parking for up to four vehicles, discreetly accessed from Morley Avenue.
