Summerhill Road, St George

We love having supper together in the evening light, enjoying the warmth of our lovely south facing sitting room. We love sitting on our front steps, from here we can see hot air balloons as they float directly overhead, or fireworks all over south Bristol on bonfire night, or just simply an epic sunset with a glass of wine.

The home

This substantial semi-detached home on Summerhill Road in St. George offers generous proportions across three floors, with 121 square metres of well-configured living space and a characterful street presence in local stone. Entering via the storm porch, the hallway sets a welcoming tone. it is well-proportioned and bright, with original period detailing visible throughout.
The front-facing lounge is a lovely room, with a large bay window flooding the space with natural light and original floorboards. Bookshelves built into the alcoves give the room a warm, lived-in character. To the rear, the dining room is a sociable and versatile space, tiled underfoot, with its own wood-burning stove and further shelving, opening naturally into the kitchen. The kitchen runs along the rear of the house with a skylight overhead and a range cooker as its centrepiece, finished in white cabinetry with a bold patterned splashback.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms. There are two generous double bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom would suit a child's room or home office, and is currently decorated in a lovely deep teal. The family bathroom is finished in dark slate-effect tiling with a full bath suite. The loft room is accessed via a ladder from the first floor landing and adds a further flexible space with it's own en-suite, ideal as a guest room, studio, or home office. Once converted with a permanent stairwell this would be defined as a fourth bedroom.

The outside space

The rear of the property offers a compact, sunny courtyard garden with a herringbone brick-paved terrace, a low-maintenance and stylish outdoor space well-suited to sitting out and entertaining. Stone boundary walls give it an enclosed, private feel. The out-building has laundry facilities and offers storage.
