Manor Road, Fishponds

"It's a lovely neighbourhood with kind, friendly but not intrusive neighbours. It's quiet but well connected to the city. Residential, but shops and some nice restaurants a short walk away!"

The home

The listing has been sold off market. Offered with no onward chain and set back from the road behind a generous gravel driveway, this attractive period end-of-terrace home combines character, space and practicality in one of Fishponds' most popular residential locations. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers two bedrooms, a spacious and flowing ground floor, a substantial rear garden and a versatile garden room that's ideal as a home office or studio. The front reception room is a lovely introduction to the house, with ceiling rose, decorative cornicing and a fireplace creating plenty of period character. Painted panelling and bespoke shelving add a contemporary touch, while the large window fills the room with natural light.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the home. Finished with shaker-style cabinetry, generous worktops and herringbone flooring, it's a bright and sociable room with an open feel that works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining. A separate utility room and downstairs WC, and shower provide useful additional space, with direct access out to the garden. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both presented in good condition. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with fitted wardrobes, while the remaining bedroom offers flexibility for a child's room, guest room or office. The family bathroom has been tastefully updated with a separate shower and bath, finished in a timeless style.

The outside space

One of the standout features is the outside space. The front driveway comfortably accommodates three vehicles, while the rear garden is larger than many in the area, with mature planting, established borders and plenty of lawn. At the far end sits a substantial timber garden room, offering an ideal home office, studio, gym or hobby space away from the main house.
