Description

For sale for the first time since 1988, a much-loved, 3 double bedroom, 3 reception room, two-storey, end of terrace family home enjoying a much larger than normal plot with exceptional rear garden (95ft x 36ft) plus generous front garden (32ft x 30ft) with garage and attached car port.

Situated in a prime location for families, on a desirable road within 445 metres of Redland Green Secondary School, as well as within 500 metres of Bishop Road Primary School and 165 metres of St Bonaventure Primary School, offering the convenience of being within easy reach of the local shops, cafes and bus connections of Gloucester Road, as well as Waitrose supermarket on North View and Henleaze high street. The house directly overlooks Kings Lawn Tennis Club.

Whilst it has been a cherished home, it offers potential to extend and re-design to one's own preferences, subject to first obtaining the necessary consents. In recent years, houses in the vicinity have undergone significant investment and improvement partly due to its location being close to good schooling and local amenities.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious reception hall with elegant turning staircase ascending to the first floor and provides access to all main rooms. The sitting room is triple aspect and has a wide box bay window, period fireplace and exposed wooden floorboards. There is a dual aspect dining room with picture window overlooking the rear garden. In addition, a breakfast room, kitchen and separate wc.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms (one being triple aspect and another dual aspect), family bath/shower room and separate wc. A large fully insulated loft space offers scope for a loft conversion, if required.

Externally, the house is set behind a generous level lawned front garden with mature hedge border and useful gated side access. The rear garden is a delight and offers exciting potential for the keen gardener and already benefits from a wide variety of mature shrubs, established climbing plants and sitting out area. Situated at the rear of the garden and accessed via Friary Road there is a garage and attached car port which offers exciting potential either as garaging, garden office or garden annexe (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

Opportunities like this are seldom available especially in this location, and whilst in the fullness of time one might decide to re-imagine the house, it is not necessary, and a more sympathetic upgrade would be perfectly possible.
