Rockleaze Avenue, Sneyd Park, Bristol, BS9

This delightful Victorian home offers comfortable, adaptable family-oriented accommodation, in a highly desirable location, with ready access to Durdham Downs. Arranged over three floors, with a southerly orientated circa 80ft. long level rear garden, together with off-street parking, it possesses many of the key attributes sought for family homes within the area.

The location offers the peace of Sneyd Park with the convenience of Durdham Downs, meaning that open spaces and amenities are readily at hand. In a little over 10 minutes, the Downs can be crossed by foot to reach the shops, restaurants and bars at the top of Whiteladies Road. Slightly further again, crossing the Downs to the east, are the amenities on North View, including a range of independent shops. Travelling westwards across the Downs leads to cosmopolitan Clifton Village; a destination in its own right within Bristol. Rockleaze Avenue is thus well located to access both local amenities as well as a range of local schools, but is far enough removed to enjoy the peace and relative tranquillity of a favoured location so close to a major city. It is also served by a regular bus service to the city and Cribbs Causeway.

The house is set within a terrace of similar attractive stone-fronted homes, and displays refined features that could be expected in properties from the latter part of the Victorian era. Of particular note are the tracery shape and strained glass in the transom window above the door, the crenelations above the bay window and the decorative jambs flanking the upper windows. Period features carry through in to the property with decorative plasterwork, coving, picture rails, fireplaces and floorboards being present at different points in the house.

The house is approached via steps up to a raised hall floor entrance. A welcoming hall provides stairs to the upper and lower floors. Located to the front of this floor is the elegant drawing room, featuring ornate fireplace, quadruple sash bay window, intricate coving and ornate ceiling rose. To the rear, and bathed in sunlight, is the full width kitchen/diner. A comprehensive arrangement of kitchen units includes a central island, whilst the other half of the room provides space for a large dining table. A glazed stable door opens out to the raised entertaining deck space which has further stairs down to the garden.

Moving upstairs the first floor provides three generously proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an en suite facility and dressing room area (formerly an additional bedroom).

The lower floor provides flexibility of use. Currently arranged as two large bedrooms with en suite facilities, it could form a semi-independent living space, additional living rooms or work space. This floor has its own front door and a utility area/kitchenette with door out to the rear garden.

The garden is uncharacteristically large for a Victorian property at circa 80ft. in length. Level and with a southerly aspect, it provides a good space for families or keen gardeners to enjoy. The parking space is positioned on the drive to the front of the house.
