Brynland Avenue, Bristol, BS7

This substantial five-bedroom Victorian home occupies the corner plot at the junction of Mervyn Road and Brynland Avenue, close to the independent cafés, shops, and restaurants lining the popular Gloucester Road. It is also within proximity to St Andrews Park, Fairfield and Trinity Secondary Schools, and Bishop Road and Brunel Field Primary Schools. This property offers an impressive 2,014 sq.ft of beautifully presented living space, seamlessly blending elegant period features with thoughtful modern enhancements.

The front of the property features an attractive Victorian rubble-stone facade, off-street parking, a tiled pathway to the entrance, and a variety of high-level mature hedging and shrubs offering a screen of privacy from the neighbouring properties. At the entrance door, a welcoming central hall, adorned with original cornicing and a butler's bell and iron pull, sets the tone for the rest of the property. Doors lead to a generous bay-fronted reception room, a kitchen/diner and a study/storage room, and stairs rise to the first floor. The reception room has double-glazed windows to the bay and retains cornice, picture rail, ceiling rose, and a cast-iron fireplace with decorative tiled inserts and a slate hearth. Inbuilt alcove cabinetry and stripped wooden floorboards complete the room. The adjacent storage room has been used as a playroom in the past and has a double-glazed window to the front.

The heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, meticulously designed with high-quality finishes and ample storage, making it ideal for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The dining area features double-glazed bay windows overlooking the gardens, stripped wooden floorboards and is open to the kitchen. The kitchen is flooded with natural light through a large skylight window and glazed double doors that open onto the garden, and is fitted with a range of wall and base units incorporating a breakfast bar and space for freestanding appliances. A separate utility room provides convenience and functionality, with additional storage, a sink, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and access to a downstairs w.c.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for growing families or home working, with the luxurious principal suite occupying the loft conversion. This private retreat boasts a contemporary ensuite bathroom, generous eaves storage, and Velux windows allowing an abundance of natural light into the room. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining four bedrooms on the first floor, finished with quality fittings, a neutral palette and a shower over the bath.

The property is surrounded by gardens on three sides, providing sunlight at all times of day. The rear garden was professionally designed and landscaped two years ago and is accessed immediately from the kitchen and enjoys an open southerly aspect. The garden has a Mediterranean feel and is laid with porcelain tiles, with a raised, light-rendered planter featuring built-in bench seating that contrasts beautifully with the grey floor tiles. Additionally, there is a timber-framed storage shed and a combination of contemporary horizontal fencing and a wall enclosing the garden. A secure gate leads onto the side garden, which is mostly laid to lawn, sweeping around to the front and enclosed by a variety of colourful, mature plants, trees, and shrubbery along its borders.

Off-street parking with an electric security gate and EV charging point at the front of the house offers a rare advantage in this vibrant neighbourhood, providing ease and security for residents.
