The second reception room offers similarly generous proportions, and retains original picture rails, architrave, doorway and fireplace - within which there is in-built storage. A large sash window offers an outlook of the rear courtyard and garden.

The kitchen/diner is situated to the rear of the property, and with its dual aspect windows welcomes in plenty of natural light.

Completing this floor is a bathroom, fitted with a white four-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin, WC and bidet, with substantial storage accessible from the rear of the room.

Externally - The front elevation of the property offers wonderful curb appeal owing to the Edwardian architecture, featuring a private balcony, double bay and well-maintained exterior.

The front garden is a low-maintenance space featuring mature hedges to the boundaries, dwarf wall, and Terrazzo flooring to the porch, leading in turn to the vestibule.

The rear garden is level, and comprises a sizeable Italian porcelain tiled patio to the side elevation, a lawned area, and another patio to the rear of the garden that benefits from a sunny aspect through much of the afternoon making it ideal for al fresco dining. Raised beds to the rear offer privacy, and there are further flower beds to the boundary wall.

Vendors' Comments - "We’ve absolutely loved living here and it has been a wonderful family home. One of the things we’ve appreciated most is how much space the house gives you, there’s plenty of room for family life, while still having separate spaces to work, relax or have people to stay.

It’s also been such a lovely street to live on. We have been incredibly lucky with our Neighbours, and there is a friendly sense of community, which has made it a particularly special place to bring up our family. The location has been a huge part of why we’ve enjoyed living here too. Being so close to the Downs is brilliant, particularly with children, and we love being able to walk there so easily. At the same time, you have all the cafés, shops and amenities of Westbury Park and Henleaze nearby, so everything feels very accessible.

We’ve made lots of happy memories here and will be genuinely sad to leave. It’s a house that has worked incredibly well for us as our family has grown, and we hope the next owners will enjoy it just as much as we have."
