Court Road, Horfield

"The light and warmth of the house is what we've loved most. It's even been nicknamed 'the healing house' by friends visiting from London. Sunday mornings with a coffee, watching the kids and the dog play in the garden, have always been pretty special."

The Home

A beautifully presented and extended three/four bedroom semi-detached home, offering over 1,450 sq/ft of accommodation. The current owners have transformed the home by opening up the rear of the house to create a stunning kitchen, dining and family space, perfectly suited to modern living.

The entrance hall provides a welcoming first impression and leads into the bay-fronted living room at the front of the house. A bright and comfortable space, the large bay window fills the room with natural light whilst retaining the character expected of a home of this era.

To the rear is undoubtedly the heart of the home. The previous galley kitchen has been opened up to create an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and snug measuring over 23ft in length. This wonderful space is flooded with light from multiple skylights and large bi-fold doors, with warm wooden flooring running throughout. The modern kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops, a central island with breakfast bar seating and an excellent range of storage, making it equally practical for everyday family life and entertaining. The bi-fold doors open directly onto the raised decking, creating a seamless connection with the garden.

The former garage has been cleverly converted to provide a highly flexible suite of additional accommodation. Currently arranged as a home office/playroom, it could equally serve as a fourth bedroom for guests. This area is complemented by a contemporary downstairs shower room, separate utility room and a storage room, ideal for bikes and outdoor equipment.

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from built-in wardrobes. A third bedroom provides an ideal nursery, child's bedroom or home office and all three rooms are served by a stylish three-piece family bathroom, installed by the current owners and finished with a shower over the bath.


The Outside

A raised deck sits directly outside the bi-fold doors, creating the perfect spot for relaxing outdoors, before leading onto a generous lawn enclosed by mature borders and established planting.

To the front of the property is a driveway providing off-street parking, whilst the converted garage still retains excellent storage thanks to the dedicated storage room accessed from the front.
